My airbag warning light keeps randomly coming on and off. My breaks are making a constant grinding and screeching noise that alternate on the driver and passenger side randomly and at times fail to break properly. The dealer has stated that nothing is wrong with my breaks or rotors
There is a recall on my airbags in my vehicle. Volkswagen dealership states they do not have the remedy to this issue currently and do not know when it will be available. They also would not offer a rental car for the safety risk. This is putting my life and any other passengers at a high safety risk!
