Volkswagen Gti 2002 Air Bags Side/window Review #760479

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002 car safety problem was reported on Apr 08, 2002.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . while driving i encountered an uneven spot in the road ( like a pothole) and the airbags on the right side of the car ( side airbag and side curtain) deployed. the problem is that it was not a significant impact to the car. there is no damage to the car other than the airbags now requiring replacement. even the alaignment seems fine although the dealer is checking it out to be sure. i believe the airbag sensor was defective (too sensitive) and should not have deployed the airbag. when the airbags are deployed (for no apparent good reason) it is obviously distracting to the driver and can create a dangerous situation. for me it was downright scary. i thought someone shot at the car. the dealer seems perplexed as to why the bags would have deployed without an impact significant enough to damage the car. now, even though i didn't wreck the car, i and my insurance company are left with the cost of repairs on a component that i believe was defective and caused this whole mess.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):9BWDE61JX24.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002 car safety problem was reported on Dec 10, 2002.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with OTHER . i have a 2002 vw gti 337 that was purchased on 7/2/02. i had 7777 miles when a coilpack went out rendering the car undrivable. volkswagen of america knows that this is a very common problem with their coilpacks and have not issued a recall on them. if my wife were in the car when this happened and she was left stranded on the side of the road, no telling what could have happened. right now vw will only replace the bad coilback but not the other three (4 cyl). so driving the car is this state will only pose another risk for future problems and hazzards. also note that there is a national backorder on these parts and i have yet to get a replacement for the one that went out at 7777 miles. luckly i have a loaner from a friend but without that, my car would be a giant paperweight. please force vwoa to recall these coilpacks. everytime i'm on a road trip i worry about one of the other three going out in the middle of nowhere. and if i was lucky enough to break down near a dealer, the chances of them having a replacement is like me winning the lottery..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 7777 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002 car safety problem was reported on Jan 29, 2002.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE . i bought a new 2002 volkswagen golf gti 1.8t on june 22, 2002. on january 29, 2003 i had to have it towed to the dealership where i had purchased it for the #2 ignition coil failure. at that time, the car only had 10,600 miles on it. now, as i drive down route 93 from nh to mass each day for work, i brace myself for the time that the next coil fails. each time this happens, there is a considerable loss in power, to the point that the car can stall. the car begins to "buck" and stagger, and at highway speeds, this becomes very dangerous. as volkswagen is well aware, this is an epidemic problem with the 1.8t engines in all of their cars. they refuse to replace all 4 coils at once. therefore, it's just a matter of time that this happens again to my car, as well as hundreds of thousands of buyers that have either experienced this problem already or will be. there needs to be a recall on these parts, or at the very least, an investigation on the ignition coils and the loss of safety associated with the comparable loss of power. hopefully, this can be done before someone gets injured or killed..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 10644 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002 car safety problem was reported on June 13, 2003.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . i was driving my 2002 vw gti vr6 on a semi-rough section of the parks highway in alaska at approx. 30-35 mph when the passenger side airbags suddenly deployed. the road was no worse than a maintained gravel road, there was no "crash" or accident, and i didn't hit a pothole. the dealer looked at my otherwise mint condition and undamaged car and said that the computer had "crash data" and possible gravel dings on the undercarriage (which could have occurred at anytime in the past 10 months i have owned this vehicle as i frequently drive on maintained gravel roads). it was the technician's belief that these minor gravel dings on the undercarriage should not have caused the airbags to release and that the airbag replacements would most likely be covered under warranty, but it was vw's ultimate decision. my insurance adjustor said basically the same thing as minor dings to the undercarriage are expected as normal wear and tear and told the dealership that they were stretching it when they came up with a possible explanation. vw headquarters came back and said since there is "crash data" in the computer and the car has small dings on the undercarriage, it was not covered under warranty as it was a crash. i think vw is missing the point by saying that since there is "crash data" in the computer, the airbags are my problem. the real question is should the airbags have deployed under these conditions? the dealer techs say no, my passenger and i say no, and my insurance and their investigator says no. this airbag deployment almost caused an accident and resulted in my passenger being bruised. *nlm.1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 14458 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002 car safety problem was reported on Nov 05, 2002.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with WHEELS:RIM . over 200 2002 vw gti 337 edition owners have also claimed to have similar problems of pitting, black spots, corrosion, roughness, and/or white spots on their wheels as well and have supplied pictures for all to view publicly on online forums to prove their case. as a group we have approached volkswagen of america (vwoa) about the problem using my car as the test car. we all opened case numbers with vwoa expressing our concerns and my wheels were sent to vws testing center in wolfsburg, germany where the wheels were determined not to be defective, leaving many angry and confused enthusiasts out to dry. instead of fixing the problem, vwoa contacted a small percentage of those who had opened case numbers to offer them a $25 gift certificate, good toward vw merchandise or service. this action only served to douse fuel on an already raging fire. once vwoa learned of our reaction to this insult, they decided to stop calling, leaving the rest of us with no response from the manufacturer as promised. we have no choice but to seek legal action in order to remedy this situation. some facts: - 1,500 gti 337 editions were manufactured for the u.s. in 2002 as a limited edition car and 250 for canada - all came equipped with 18x7.5 custom bbs rc wheels in a special vw-only shot peened and clear coated finish design (bbs does not normally clear coat their wheels) - the same wheels are found on the european 337s called the 25th anniversary edition - the brake pads found on the u.s. 337s are not the same as found on the european 25th anniversary editions - more than 200 337 owners have come forth to claim issues with their wheels finish being degraded by their stock brake pads - to our collective knowledge no european 25th anniversary edition has the same issues approximate retail replacement costs:1) vw edition 18x7.5 bbs rc w/center caps= $605.70. set of four = $2,422.80.contact the bbb for more information.*ak .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 1000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002 car safety problem was reported on Sept 01, 2002.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with WHEELS:RIM . i own a 2002 vw gti 337. this was a special edition vw that was produced. there were 1500 made for the usa and 250 made for canada. there were a number of special features included from the factory in this vehicle. two of those special features were 18inch bbs rc rims, as well as upgraded brakes. this is where the problem lies.the rims came with the car have a special look to them. its called ball-peened which then is clear coated over top to protect the rims many companys c;ear coat rims as a way to give them a shiny finish and to protect from wear and tear better. this is where the problem arises. the rims that were put on the car are pitting and getting very rough like a sandpaper feeling to them as well as in certain spots some sort of whit spots. the composition of the brake pads seem to be eating thru the finish of the wheels which leaves you with the rough feeling ans well as black brake dust specs embedded in the rim. as a car enthusiast my car is washed at least once per week by hand it has never been to an automated car was either. now i live in the northeast so the argument about salt sand and are winters could be brought up as the reason the rims have turned out this way. however my car is put into storage before the winter and is not taken out until spring time there for never seeing any harsh climates or chemicals. i wash the rims by hand with only soap and water. my car has only 5800 miles on it but the rims have the look and texture of one that has had a much longer life. ther are approximately 200+ people with the same problems right now that are having identical problems that i am having. i know of this many people because of the site vwvortex.com on that website there are a series of forums, under the volkswagen forum head is a sub forum called 337/20th anniversary which in that forum there is a thread titled vw wants to know about owners who are having issues with bbs rims. *ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2700 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002 car safety problem was reported on Aug 10, 2005.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . spontaneous airbag deployment 8-10-05 i was driving alone down a boulevard at 35 mph when i heard a loud noise like a gunshot from my right side. the side curtain airbags had deployed on the passenger side leaving me with an ear ache, as well as interior full of smoke and debris. worst of all, the engine stopped running. i coasted about 200 feet then turned onto a side street. i'm fortunate that i did not come into contact with any other vehicles or pedestrians. i did not hit a pothole, rut, curb or anything else. i was driving down a well-traveled smooth road in denver (south broadway). the airbags just deployed for no apparent reason. after gathering my wits and airing out the car, i restarted it and drove directly to my local vw service facility. the next day, my service advisor said the mechanic saw evidence of an impact on the side of the frame. i explained that the car was on smooth pavement when this happened. i also mentioned that 18 months ago i had hit a square-edged rut in the road that caused some rim damage to the front-right wheel and also caused a tire impact separation (bubble). perhaps this is the impact mark that the mechanic detected. i gave this statement to vwoa at my advisor's request. i explained that this is a safety problem and should be covered under warranty as the car is less than 4 years old and under 50,000 miles. my local service advisor called me back to say that a supervisor will determine how to proceed with repairs. evidently, this is not automatically a warranty item. vwoa needs to step up and fully investigate this matter and take preventive actions immediately. there are several vw owners in my immediate family. we are all very concerned about the airbag safety of this vehicle even after repairs are completed. *nm .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 45000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002 car safety problem was reported on Dec 30, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with AIR BAGS . as i was driving home from visiting my parents in louisiana over the holidays. i was getting onto 45/75 going north from interstate 30w here in dallas, tx. as i cross over the lanes, i hear a really loud pop. there was a large flash and the car filled with smoke. i was really surprised, which caused me to swerve to miss another car. i had no idea what went wrong. my first assumptions were that either i blew a tire or that someone had shot a firearm at my vehicle. i pulled over downtown and inspected the vehicle. there was absolutely nothing wrong with the exterior of my vehicle (tires were fine and i did not hit anything). for some reason my passenger side upper front and rear air bags deployed as did the side air bag in the seat. i have no idea why this happened and have never had any issues with the airbags. i am very happy and fortunate that i did not have a passenger in my car at the time and that i did not get into an accident. i am reporting this to vwoa. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 62000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002 car safety problem was reported on Jan 17, 2007.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2002, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW . i was driving on the highway in my 2002 volkswagen gti when suddenly the side and curtain airbags deployed for no reason at all. i did not hit a pothole, rock, or any object of any kind. the engine then shut off but i managed to safely move my car to the right lane. as a result of the airbag deployment i suffered minor burns and a sore back. i called volkswagen of america and they immediately began telling me it was not their fault and that i must have hit something. they advised me to bring the gti into the nearest dealership to check for damage. the dealership inspected the car and found no damage. the technician told me there was no reason for the airbags to have deployed. he then sent that information to volkswagen of america. two day later they called me to ask me to once again bring the car into the dealership so that a representative could inspect the car. i will be bringing the car in tomorrow. i have researched this problem on the internet and found that this is a problem that has been reported over 400,000 times. it does not seem that volkswagen is going to pay to fix the problem since my car is no longer under warranty. i am now pursuing a class action suit against volkswagen of america. i am absolutely stunned that volkswagen of america can get away with not taking responsibility for their manufacture defects. i will never own another vw again, and i will do all that i can to discourage anybody i know from purchasing a volkswagen. these claims need to be taken seriously, and something needs to be done about it before serious injury, or even death, occurs. *jb.1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 86000 miles.
