Description of the problem	The airbag sensor light came on while driving at 65mph. I took to the dealership where i purchased and they sent the car over to the vw dealership. Vw dealership contacted me and said that the driver side seatbelt, airbag igniter was defective and needed a driver side airbag unit to the tune of 881. 79. I have an extended warranty however nothing related to the airbag or safety is covered. Since this is a safety concern i wonder why vw doesn't stand by their products and warranty.
