My vehicle was stationary and turned off. i went to get in the car start it and leave however when i tried to start the car it immediately started to ding over and over with the a message "error: driver airbag". it also would not let the car start. i had the battery tested its fine and the starter isn't even 6 months old nor the alternator. all the electronics in the car turn on lights, radio, windows up and down, etc. it says to start put my foot on the brake as well which i obviously did and it still says the same error message. it happened 2 times 1st on 12/31/2019 but then started out of nowhere and worked fine for a few days and then happened again 1/04/20, however this time the problem persists.

Driving the car (which was purchased 6 months ago from our local honda dealership) honked the horn on the car coming home from picking up the kids from school. driving through local streets and all of a sudden the air bag sign came on. now when i turn car on it states airbag defect and none of the controls work on the steering wheel. the car is my wife's car and she drive my two little boys in it daily. the airbag defect warning is concerning especially reading other owner's complaints in regards to this issues.

The car had an air bag recall fixed and a few weeks later the air bag light came on and the horn won't work. now the dealership wants the customer to pay for repairs stating that it is the clock spring that is broken. this problem is a direct result of the air bag repair.

I took my car to gunther volkswagen of fort lauderdale 1660 s state rd 7, fort lauderdale, fl 33317 (954) 420-7374. they refused to change the takata airbag i was told that they could not connect their equipment . i was told that i need to pay for them to do diagnostics on my car. they wouldn't even check the problem without paying. i told them that i could not afford any repairs and this was a recall. they would not even look at my car without paying. so i have been driving with the same airbag. i cannot afford these repairs so there's nothing i can do about this airbag situation. i already called the volkswagen of america and they are no help. if anything can be done i would greatly appreciated it.

Takata recall vw has no part--they have no timeline for the part--the are refusing a loaner until they have the part (which makes no sense). they refuse to comment on whether the car should be driven. i should not have to choose between my family's safety and spending more money--they need to provide a loaner! *tr

What happens is exactly what is described in other models and years of the same model. failure of the steering power and airbag failure due to failure of clockspring. this is a new car and it would be quite a coincidence to have this same issue with the same manufacturer and not have it be causally related based on the same defect which caused a similar recall. the airbag sensor light wen ton, horn wouldn't work, electrical components on wheel won't work. bringing for replacement of clockspring (same as in other recall).

Takata recali i asked boardwalk volkswagen(1 bair island rd, redwood city, ca 94063) to help me to address takata recall. however, they just say they do not have related parts, and do not response me again. it seems that they won't help to address the takata recall, which is a very severe recall. i feel very disappointed about their responses.
