I was in 3 different accidents that involved hard impacts that did NOT deploy any of the airbags.  I strongly feel this was a dealer/volkswagen manufactor vehicle malfunction that should of been replaced or investigated. Unfortunately, I had to cope with the mechanic and service manager going over strange codes that appeared just abnormal and that they reset everything. I   have many receipts showing alarming concern to volkswagan employees that at routine maintenance checks a number of request were made (even under manufactor's warrrenty) by the owner/me stating great concern of the engine light always coming on. I made this aware each and every time i went into the vz dealership and spoke with the owner directly indicating that there had to be something wrong the way the engine performs, smells like something burning, and shacks. I was just so upset that out of any car i have owned that had  such low miles and proven  engine maintance upkeep has caused such improper functioning. For example, the car was involved into 3 separate impact crashes and did not once eject an airbag. I was unprotected and  placed in negligence for my families, and mine lifes safety.
