Car involved in front end accident and the passenger side airbag deployed but the driver side did not and personal injury was the result, the car was turning left on city streetand was struck in right front
Upon low speed impact, 5 mph, both front airbags expanded causing minor burns and 'cuts' on passenger in front seat. Since accident on 03-25-01, the dealer has yet to receive the needed replacement air bags-today's date, 04-16-01. In speaking with vwoa's engineering & parts depts, they said do not usually stock item in us and that the airbags responded "correctly" in deceleration mode. Besides the cost of replacing the airbags, the damage to the vw was minimal (scratch on lt ft. Fender & the need to replace the lt. Ft. Side marker). Is there a problem w/these airbags? should they have gone off @ such a low speed? if so, they could have gone off in hitting a parking garage 'pylon', no? please inform me asap on why vwoa does not have parts in us! thank you, [xxx].

Vehicle leaks gas. Gas leak is coming from engine area of vehicle. Alsovavle gasket was replaced which did not correct problem. Delaers then noted that problem could not be found.
From the time i bought the car the gas mileage was grossly low so everytime i took it in for scheduled service i would have them check out the fuel system nothing was ever done and the gas mileage has never gotten better now i have approx. 42,000mi on the vehicle and still horrible gas mileage and no power ii thought it was catalytic converter which is covered under the fed emmissions warranty but when i took it to the dealer they said it was the oxygen sensors which are connected to the catalytic converter i have done some research on these o2 sensors and everything i have read leads me to believe that they were faulty from time of purchase!
