 Description of the problemAir bag light continues to come on. Started when first purchased. 64 miles 2-24-05 and said that 2 wires were repaired invoice 913036. Invoice 962683 on 8-14-07 light was on again with a description of driver/pass side airbags and replace pass side wiring 1660 wv03 (recall) mileage 37233. 5-24-2010 inv 663865 air bag light on again, went to foreign auto shop in wenatchee to have checked out. Driver side air bag has igniter problem with intermittent signal loss. 7-6-2010 mileage 60364 air bag light on again invoice 663865. Invoice states that they did not hear from vw on help for air bag light, no further work at this time although they did reset the light and not put it on the invoice. When queried on what had happened or why it was reset they would give no indication or whether the air bags would work or not. This is becoming worrisome as i have heard that when the light comes on the airbag system doesn't function. I know that if this was a seat belt the problem would have been fixed long ago but since it is a airbag it isn't their problem. Are not the airbags in a car designed to work with the seat belts in preventing injuries and are they not also a integral part of the safety design of the vehicle. If so since we have had problems since we bought the car is it so hard to it fixed as it has been documented that we had the problem since we purchased this car.
