My issue started out with the passenger airbag off warning indicator light being on even when an average side adult was sitting in the passenger seat. It escalated to an airbag fault warning light on in the control panel. This light does not go off. Another issue started when I would enter the car and the door signal was suddenly loud and odd sounding. This went on for a week or so then all of the sounds in the car ceased completely. No blinker sound, no lights on indicator, no interior lights, no door open indicator, and no parking brake indicator. Lastly, while picking my daughter up from college, I folded the backseat down in order to fit her baggage. The center seat belt became stuck in the default position. I am unable to get the seat all the way down because the seat belt is locked and it is now snug against the backseat.

The dashboard control center show the driver side airbag failure. This issue happened in 2014, and 2015, but weren't reported by 2 VW dealers from Massachusetts. This warning sign is always on. The actual dealer, who was diagnosed te issue, confirmed that the driver side airbag doesn't properly work
