Passat

  • 49,900 miles
While reversing in my driveway, my dash lights up with warning: Acc error and warning : airbag error and stayed while I was parked and kept my car stationary. The next day it showed up again and I am worried about my airbag deploying on me while driving and causing an accident. I am worried also that my airbag might never go off and these codes damage something else internally in the car.
