Description of the problem	I purchased a used 2004 vw new beetle convertible from toyota of orange, orange, ca this year, january, 2006. Within a week of the purchase, the airbag warning came on. I talked to the sales manager, bill about this in person...(concerned that the safety check was not thorough), and he was not the least bit concerned and told me that since the mileage was only about 25,000 that it was covered under warranty. I took it to mckenna vw in huntington beach, ca for the repair/replacement of sensor. The light was off when i picked it up but then came on again only one month later. This time i took it to fladeboe vw, irvine ca. A part had to be ordered for another sensor, so i returned after the part was in and had it placed mid-march, 2006. It is now april 2006 and the airbag warning light is on for the 3rd time since the car was purchased 3 months ago!! Help!! *nm
