Jetta Hybrid

  • 40,000 miles
My airbag was disabled by a faulty clock spring in the steering wheel. This is the same issue that caused Volkswagen to recall 420K cars, including non-hybrid jettas. For reason unknown to me the hybrid jetta was not included in the recall, but it seems that have the exact same issue as other jettas.
