Description of the problem | Got an error message that the passenger seat airbag on my car was staying off at all time. I took my car to the local vw dealer. They performed a diagnostic on my car and told me that the child set recognition unit (j706) is defective and need to be replaced. Since my car is over three years old the warranty will not cover it. I would have to pay $633. 79 to replace it. My brother has a vw tiguan and the same thing happened to his car. After doing some research online i found out that lots of vw owner were having the same issue. Failure of the child set recognition unit. This is a major safety issue that needs to be investigated. Vw should replace those defective units free of charge. |
