Consumer Description

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON DASBOARD BECAME ILLUMINATED. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT VW'S NEED SUPPLEMENTAL WIRING HARNESS INSTALLED IN STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE CONNECTION AS SHIPPPED FROM THE FACTORY. DEALER SAYS "MOST" VW NEW JETTAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND CHARGED $90 TO INSTALL NEW CONNECTOR. IF THIS IS TRUE SHOULDN'T VW HAVE TO RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY SYSTEM? NLM
