Description of the problem	For years, volkswagen has had a design flaw in their seat belt wiring harness. My "check engine" light came on as is the "air bag" light so i took it to a vw mechanic. He said it was a common problem with vw and audi. He cleared the fault using a diagnostics tool. Soon the lights came back on. And they stay on...! Will my air bag work with this problem? What happens if i get an engine problem such as oil pump or timing belt? My vehicle could shut down without my knowledge. That could cause an accident. And again, will my air bag work? We have looked online... This seat belt wiring design flaw has been going on for years. Yet, volkswagen has not fixed this issue. The mechanic we used says the seat belt wiring harness is too short... Therefore, when the seat is moved forward it breaks wiring in the harness. The dealer wants $600 to fix this. I do not have that kind of money! I am on ssdi.
