| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 vw new beetle. I am experiencing a malfunctioning airbag issue. From my understanding the 2007 new beetle was not initially included in the 2007 recall but i am asking for a reconsideration in this matter. This has been an ongoing issue since 12/2015. No matter what is done to rectify the situation, the warning light continues to emit. Dealership has been unwilling to clarify if my vehicle is equipped with the faulty airbags. Due to possible severity of this situation, no vehicle should be erroneously omitted with the possibility of danger existing. I appreciate your assistance in this matter. |
