What EOS owners report
Recent air bags complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
I have contacted vw and brought vehicle in for airbag module light. Code 01218 due to passenger seat airbag. Was told it wasn’t repairable. Isn’t this a safety issue? I thought all airbags were covered under the life of the vehicle?
TOOK VEHICLE IN TODAY TO TRACY VOLKSWAGEN IN TRACY CALIFORNIA TO FIX MY AIRBAG LIGHT THAT CAME ON FOR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT AIRBAG. THEY SAID THERE WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE CAUSE VOLKSWAGEN DISCONTINUED THE PART. SO THEY SAID TO ME THAT ECS TUNING HAS THE PART AVAILABLE AND THEY COULD INSTALL…
AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. 1218 CODE REGARDING PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IGNITER. DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH MY KIDS SITTING I THE FRONT SEAT WITH THIS SAFETY LIGHT ON.
