Air bag light came on twice. The first time front and side driver side airbags were replaced, costing $1200. The second time the light came on VW was contacted and they agreed to pay for the repair, $300 for a wiring harness under the steering wheel. Please advise, this is a problem that should happen considering the car was not involved in any type of accident. Service manager at Volkswagen compared air bag to a "light bulb." Saying that like light bulbs airbags also burn out after a while, a rather pompous statement to make.
