2022 Volkswagen Id.4 Airbags Problems

Your airbag warning light is turning on and off intermittently, displaying an "airbag error" message. Additionally, the charging door cover fell off while you were driving on the freeway. The airbag system needs diagnostic testing to identify the sensor malfunction, and the charging door assembly will need to be replaced or reattached.

After installing the 3.5 software update, your car's airbag warning light came on. You've found that other owners are reporting the same issue, but there's no official recall yet to address it. The fix will likely involve a software update or diagnostic reset from your Volkswagen dealer.

No forward collisions warning prior crash. No emergency braking as the car can't sense the car in front. No post automatic braking after initial impact to prevent second damage like Volkswagen advertised.

In July 2023, the airbag light came on in the dash of the vehicle. Upon inspection by the VW dealer, Sheppard Motors, the dealership indicated that the airbag module failed. They said the repair part was back ordered and were not sure when it will be available. I asked them does this mean the airbag system will not work in an accident? They said yes. I suggested pulling an airbag module from one of the cars in their inventory and using it to repair the car. They said no. They left us drive the car away with the airbag light still on. I researched on the internet finding a airbag module for the car. I informed them of the research and website. They said they called the other VW dealer but the part was not available even though the part was showing as available on the website. I believe driving a vehicle without a functioning airbag system is very dangerous. I don't understand why the manufacture does not have parts available for a new car. I think the safety board needs to investigate this parts availability problem and airbag module failure. How can the vehicle have such a great safety rating if the airbag system does not work?
