I took my vehicle in to vw of chattanooga in august to get the airbag recall taken care of and now my surprise my "clock spring" is now not working. i called vw of chattanooga and described that the controls on the steering wheel was not working, there is a clicking sound when turning the wheel and discussed my safety concerns. i mentioned to vw of chattanooga that i was concerned that the airbag will just blow up and he said it just will not deploy in the event of an emergency. so i'm like now what do i do, i have a vehicle i cannot drive and the last ones to mess with it was them! they asked if the airbag light came on why didn't i bring back in? i said because i have been on military orders for awhile. they also said initially it was covered under warranty and now they are saying it will cost $732 to get it fixed! i called vw care and they just said my car was out of warranty and it maybe a worksman issue but the dealership will have to work with you ...
Volkswagen replaced my vehicle steering wheel "clockspring" under a previous safety recall. my car has now recently suffered from a failed steering wheel "clockspring". my drivers side front airbag is now incapacitated, my horn no longer works and my steering wheel controls do not work. this occurred upon my making a full left hand turn, upon making the turn, i heard cracking sounds come from my steering wheel and all of the sudden, i got an airbag error warning light (i still do), my horn did not work (still does not) and my steering wheel controls did not work (still don't). this should be a second recall to cover this issue because the "clockspring" was formally recalled for the exact reasons that i (and apparently a lot of other auto owners) now suffer from and the supposed replaced clockspring is causing the same safety issues. volkswagen is currently not taking responsibility for installing faulty "clocksprings" or negligent auto design for this issue. a new safety recall for this should be issued
Takata inflator maybe. in 2015 my vehicle was tboned by another vehicle, to where the impact even caused my car to spin, yet no airbag was deployed, even the police at the scene were wondering why my airbags did not go off... fast forward to yrs later my car reads airbag error.
While driving my 2013 vw passat, the airbag light came on, on the dashboard and started beeping. when i pulled into my garage, i noticed that the horn no longer worked and none of the steering wheel functions work anymore. i have only 56,718 miles on the car and the vw dealer says it is not covered under a recall and i would have to pay out of pocket for the repair because my warranty deductible is $500. this is a safety issue and vw should be required to repair these airbag issues, not us, the consumer. this is not something we (the consumers) are causing, this is a vw quality issue.
My vehicle was making a ticking sound when turning, then out of nowhere a error message came up that said error airbag, and the air bag light came on. i looked up to see if it was a recall, since i bought the vehicle used, it is for the clockspring, when i used the vin search it did not so as an active recall for my vehicle.
Everything on my steering wheel stopped working( buttons, horn, etc.) passenger airbag light is on as well. does not work when the car is moving or stationary.
Takata recall air bag light is on when i started vehicle up.
Clock spring is not working after takata recall implemented. no controls on steering wheel work. horn does not work. airbag would likely not inflate. airbag light is on. this occured while the car was not moving.
Recall performed regarding airbag clock spring which involved installing a shroud over the the clock spring and less then 12 months later, the airbag clock spring failed. volkswagen is refusing to pay for the cost of the repair because they say that they have already performed the recall. the front drivers side airbag, steering wheel controls and horn are no longer working in the vehicle. there is also an airbag light illuminated with a airbag error in the informational display. this is a safety concern. the vehicle was in motion and the steering wheel was in use when the failure occurred.
My steering wheel started making a soft clicking noise when turning on 9/24/2018 vehicle has 68,000 miles on it. on 10/30 while the vehicle was in motion makin ga slight turn in the bend of a road on the highway, the airbag alert light came on and indicated there was an air bag error and the wheel command controls stopped working.
While slightly turning the steering wheel when backing out of a parking space, air bag light came. there is no communication from the steering wheel controls leaving the horn in-operational.garvey volkswagon assessed vehicle and concluded it is due to the clock spring failing internally. when temperature drops below freezing, locks will not unlatch. the door handle will not move and the doors can not be opened until the latches unfreeze.
My 2013 vw passat has 56,000 miles. i replaced at 33,000 on 12/29/2016 at a vw dealer that is no longer in business, based on their diagnostic, the clock spring and airbag harness in the steering wheel. it costed me $610. fast forward on 09/16/2018 it turns out that i have the same problem, no controls in the wheel at all and airbag light on. the only symptom was a crunch sound in the steering wheel while turning and the airbag light came on right away. a vw dealership stated that it is unusual for a clock spring to go bad that quickly, there's some cars that don't need a clock spring replacement at all and mine needs a second one already at 56,000. through a phone call volkswagen of america stated that won't stay behind the problem. i strongly feel that it's a defective/malfunction part that affects my wife's and my children's safety since they are primarily using the car. currently we're driving the car without any front airbag protection! please investigate this and have the ones who's fault it is fix the problem! thank you!
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 volkswagen passat. the contact took the vehicle to napleton volkswagen springfield (3145 s campbell ave, springfield, mo 65807, (417) 886-6000) to be repaired per an unknown recall. the repair was completed; however, the clock spring eventually failed. the same dealer repaired the vehicle again at the contact's expense and stated that the initial repair only replaced the covering for the air bags. the manufacturer refused to reimburse the contact since he had the vehicle's oil changed outside of the dealer and showed "no loyalty" to volkswagen. the failure mileage was 110,000.
Clock spring recall - volkswagen not honoring the recall for my vin #. steering wheel started to click last night upon turning while driving, and now the airbag light is out. took it into the dealership today and they said it will be a $700 repair for the clock spring. even with the airbag light out, one of the service guys told me they have dealt with a lot of these and said it was probably safe to drive. when i asked about the recall 69l2, they said my car was not covered in the recall.
