    I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 10-15 MILES A HOUR AND MY RIGHT RIM MIGHT HAVE SLIGHTLY HIT THE CURB AND MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND CURTAINS DEPLOYED.I TOOK IT RIGHT AWAY TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE IS A CRASH CODE AND WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. I CONTACTED VW OF AMERICA MANY TIMES AND THEY SAY TO CLAIM IT THROUGH INSURANCE. THERE IS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE TO MY CAR AT ALL SO I THINK IT A FAULTY CRASH CODE! *AK
