Consumer Description

THERE IS A SENSOR THAT IS CONNECTED TO MY AIRBAG IN MY CAR THAT HAS GONE OUT 4 TIMES AND COUNTING. THIS "SENSOR" MAKES THE AIRBAG USELESS. WITHIN A YEAR TO 16 MONTHS OF FIXING THE PROBLEM, IT HAS REOCCURED EACH TIME. VOLKSWAGEN REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE PARTS OR WARRANTY THEM PAST A YEAR. THE PART IS CLEARLY FAULTY AND ENDANGERS PEOPLES LIVES. THIS IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO WEAR AND TEAR REPLACEMENT ON A YEARLY BASIS. ESPECIALLY WITH A PRICETAG OF AROUND $650 PER FIX. WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE, THIS SHOULD CLEARLY BE A RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW IT ISN'T.
