Typical airbag symptoms owners report

Airbags fail to deploy during moderate-speed frontal or rear-end collisions, even when the vehicle sustains significant front-end damage.
Airbags do not deploy in low-speed crashes (5 to 10 mph), leaving occupants unrestrained despite vehicle damage.
Some owners report seat and curtain airbags deploying correctly in side-impact crashes, while frontal airbags in similar-severity crashes on other vehicles did not.
Owners describe the warning indicator illuminating after a crash instead of the airbags deploying, with no prior dashboard warning.
One owner tied a non-deployment event to the Takata recall process, saying VW's diagnostic check found the airbag functioned as intended despite the complaint.
