Side airbag (passenger) deployed upon impact with a pothole with the front drivers side wheel
I was driving at night,in the rain,when all of a sudden my headlights went out.i had to pull over and see what was going on.i also noticed that my wipers and my fan also stopped working.i turned off the ignition and turned the car back on again, all was fine for about 10 sec., then it went out again.i noticed that when i touched the keys in the ignition that it went back on again, and i held the key forward and held it there, and the headlights, wipers, and the fan started to work again.when i let it go, it stopped working.i had to hold the key in the ignition forward all the way home to have headlights to see my way home.the next day i checked again and knew for sure that the ignition switch was the problem, it needed to be replaced.i looked it up online and found that this problem is very common on volkswagen golf's or gti's and that there wasn't a recall on this dangerous defect.i own a 1998 volkswagen gti.thank you, and i would appreciate it if this problem was addressed to volkswagen and a recall were to be made of this problem.i heard it cost's a lot of money to replace the ignition switch.
