Consumer Description

PASSENGER SIDE AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED UPON DRIVING OVER A POTHOLE. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR THE INTERIOR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE DEPLOYMENT UNDER THE LIMITED NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY. A MEMORANDUM FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY NOTES THAT BOTH THEY AND AN EMPLOYEE OF VW HAVE SEEN THIS OCCUR WITH OTHER VW JETTAS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY ALSO SEEMS TO BE OF THE OPINION THAT THE SENSORS ARE TOO SENSITIVE AS IT "DETECTED" A CRASH WHEN THERE WAS NEITHER A CRASH NOR AN ACCIDENT.*AK
