Consumer Description

I JUST PURCHASED IN OCTOBER A JETTA GLS 2001 CAR FROM THE VW DEALERSHIP IN COLLEGE PARK MARYLAND. LAST MONTH WHILE I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, I HIT THE CURB WITH MY TIRE BUT NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO MY CAR WAS DONE NOR ANOTHER CAR INVOLVED. TO MY ALARM, MY AIRBAG ON MY RIGHT FRONT SEAT SIDE DEPLOYED. I TOOK THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID AIRBAGS DON'T GO OFF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT ECT. THEY WOULD NOT HEAR MY COMPLAINT NOR HELP ME. NOW I WITNESSED ON THE FOX NEWS THAT THESE JETTA MAKE/MODELS HAVE FALSE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND 109 CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED. I WANT TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST AND ALSO I WANT TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT AN OUTRAGE. THE DEALERSHIP NEEDS TO FIX MY CAR. IN FACT, I HAVE A 3 YR WARRANTY ON MY CAR BUT THE VW DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO GO THROUGH MY INSURANCE OR PAY $1900 FOR THEM TO FIX IT. *JB
