Description of the problem	The "check engine light" stays on. We used a decoder and it gave a fault to the seat belt. We tried to clear the code but could not get rid of the code. I did online research and found this is a common problem with vw beetles. The 'check engine light" is a vital part of possible problems. Since we cannot clear the code that that light on in our dash, we have no way of knowing if another issue occurs. What if get a bad oil pump or timing belt problem? We have no way of knowing because the seat belt issue is tied into the "check engine light". Very dangerous! We are on ssi and cannot afford to take our car to a dealer. They want $600 to fix the seat belt issue. We do not have that kind of money! This is obviously a big issue with vw beetles as we have seen online. Many, many complaints!!! They should be held accountable for the defective seat belt issue! I have seen that their seat belt wiring harnesses are about two inches too short... Thus causing the wires to break and cause the "check engine light" condition that we have. Please have vw do the right thing. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
