Consumer Description

I DRIVE A 2002 VW JETTA, WITH 11000 PLUS MILES ON THE CAR. MY SIDE AND PASSENGER CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT A CRASH. THERE WAS SPONTANEOUS DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS. VW OF AMERICA SENT AN ENGINEER WHO FOUND NO DAMAGE TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS, JUST AS I HAD REPORTED. THE VW DEALERSHIP ALSO FOUND NO EVIDENCE FOR THIS. NOW, WITHOUT ANY EXPLANATION, NOR GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL NOT RE OCCUR, VW EXPECTS ME TO DRIVE THIS VEHILCE AND RISK MY OWN SAFETY AND POSSIBLY THE SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD. *LA
