Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING MY CAR TO WORK IN HOUSTON TEXAS ON INTERSTATE 59 SOUTH MY DRIVERSIDE WINDOW AIRBAG DEPLOYED AS WELL AS THE SEAT AIRBAG. AFTER GETTING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD MY CAR CRANKED BACK UP AND I GOT OUT TO INSPECT IF THERE WAS ANY DAMAGES. I FOUND NO DAMAGES ON THE CAR AND THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I AM LUCKY I DID NOT SWERVE OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE WRECK. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE 2002 JETTA SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY OCCURRENCES OF THIS HAPPENING. *TR
