The left rear wheel speed sensor malfunctioned resulting in false warnings of air bag, stabilization control, abs system, and tire pressure failures. a replacement part is on back order and/or unavailable. this will result in disregard of any of the above warnings in the future even if they are genuine. this problem occurs randomly at any speed.
The clock spring on my car went bad after 46,000 miles. makes airbag unuseable and steering column controls do not work either
Despite a 2015 recall, 2016 golfs are still being affected by faulty clock spring setups and a lack of some type of cover that is preventing debris from getting inside and breaking them. while driving the car, the airbag warning light went on. i then noticed that none of the control features on the steering wheel worked.. no cruise control, not horn, no system data, etc. upon further investigation i discovered that the clock spring was the reason for the problem and that this has been an ongoing problem that vw has known about since 2011. only after an investigation was vw forced into doing a recall in 2015. the problem obviously still exists since there are a number of continued complaints still being filed.
