Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Air bag light and symbol light is on with an internal code stored. Uncertain if air bag will deploy; possible electrical problem. Contacted volkswagen after finding several hundred + people complaining of similar problem. I was informed that a service notice was sent out; however i did not receive forementioned notice nor any prior or subsequent recall notices or bulletins from volkswagen. Apparently the service bulletin expired jan 2013 and they refused to repair "obvious systemic problem associated with all 2006 model year volkswagens". People are still having problems and the estimated repair cost noted from several posts indicate that it is an $1800+ repair, there should have been and needs to be a recall on all 2006 volkswagen air bag fault light issues to make certain that air bag will deploy if vehicle is in an accident. Vw representative told me that the air bag "may" or "may not" deploy. How many how many injuries or fatalities have to occur before you make them take action? My son drives this occasionally and i am concerned about his safety. No parent should have to bury a child. I am the second owner of the vehicle and it had and still has extremely low mileage and has never been in an accident or sustained damage of any type. Just type in 2006 vw or volkswagen gti air bag light or vw air bag fault or vw air bag fail light in any web browser and you will see just how large of a problem this has been and still is.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
