And this time i'm out of the warranty. you think i should write a letter to VWoA? theres no way i'm going to pay for this. it's ridiculous.
After the 4th time the Airbag light went off, my dealer had enough of it and ordered a whole new wiring harness for my car. I can say that the new harness looks more robust. More sturdy looking and lots of protection around it as well. Never had a Airbag Fault Light since then. Try ask your dealer if they can replace it for free cause its your fucking 7th time...thats bullshit
i just got one fixed in my wifes jetta yesterday and the horn also stopped working now its fixed though.
Lemon law applies here I believe. 3 times and it kicks in. It is in your owners manual. Has to be by law. Good luck 07mkvgti. I am not a lawyer though...
you would think they would've done this already. how many miles have you driven, approximately, since you had it replaced?
yea this happened to me. all the controls on the steering wheel and the lights in the buttons all went out. but they fixed that. i can't believe that its the seventh time. this is ridiculous...
I bought my car used at 10k. The airbag fault happened in this interval. 13k, 15k, 19k, and finally 21k. I'm close to the 30K mark and it has never bothered me since they changed the whole wiring harness. I also tested it by moving the seat back and forth about 50 times, after the wiring harness was replaced. Nothing happened. I'm very happy that they changed the damn thing. Stupid VW...they should fucking recall all the vehicles for this airbag fault light and the CAM FOLLOWER. GRRRRR
OP: if you want I can take a picture of the wiring harness. Take a picture of yours so we can see if we have different harness. Just the outside view of the harness is fine, no need for us to take the seat apart. If I remember correctly, my last harness was a thin piece of shit that flew everywhere when I moved my seat, and it was tied by zip ties. This new I have looks more robust and doesn't move as much.
well i don't know if the harness is the problem. where is it located. on the passenger side, is it that removable plastic panel? under there? it has to be the driver seat this time cause it came on when i was the only one in the car.
yea this happened to me. all the controls on the steering wheel and the lights in the buttons all went out. but they fixed that. i can't believe that its the seventh time. this is ridiculous...
