Description of the problem | While driving my 2013 vw passat, the airbag light came on, on the dashboard and started beeping. When i pulled into my garage, i noticed that the horn no longer worked and none of the steering wheel functions work anymore. I have only 56,718 miles on the car and the vw dealer says it is not covered under a recall and i would have to pay out of pocket for the repair because my warranty deductible is $500. This is a safety issue and vw should be required to repair these airbag issues, not us, the consumer. This is not something we (the consumers) are causing, this is a vw quality issue. |
