Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 30 MPH WHEN MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN DEPLOYED. MY SEATBELT RESTRICTED SO HARD, I COULD HARDLY BREATHE ANYMORE. NOTHING HAD HIT MY CAR AND I HAD NOT GONE OVER ANY POTHOLES OR BUMPS. VW SAID THAT IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR MY AIRBAGS OR THE DAMAGE DONE TO MY HEADLINER AND DRIVER SEAT. I NO LONGER HAVE A FUNCTIONING SEATBELT EITHER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR AMERICA. NOT ONLY DID THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY WITH NO ACCIDENT, I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING IN MY OWN VEHICLE. WHAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT TONIGHT WITHOUT THE PROPER PROTECTION A CAR IS GUARANTEED TO HAVE? IF I WAS KILLED OR MY KIDS WERE KILLED, WOULD VW DO SOMETHING THEN? *TR
