Steering wheel began making a clicking noise every time i would turn the wheel either right or left. then the volume and skip buttons stopped working on the steering wheel, left side only, the right side control buttons are working just fine. a couple of days later, the airbag light came on the dashboard and my steering wheel is still clicking when i turn the wheel. doesn't matter if i'm on the freeway or in a residential area, it clicks no matter what and the airbag light has not gone off since.
Clicking noise from steering wheel while turning. error airbag message later appeared along with airbag notification light. functions in steering wheel cease to work including the horn. noticed in motion on a neighborhood street.
The car was shut down by keyless ignition and the fob was removed when i entered a building. after 15 minutes it rolled away and hit a sculpture and rolled over. i as the driver failed to place the transmission in park or someone tampered with the car as someone was spotted in the car after it flipped over. my complaint is that when the car is shut down i believe it should have immobilized regardless of the shifter as i shut off the engine exited the vehicle. keyless ignition safety in relation to rollaways in this model is not sufficient.
Vehicle had been parked for several days. upon pulling out of a parking space, heard a snapping noise from the steering wheel. immediately received an airbag error warning, horn ceased to function, and all steering wheel controls stopped working.
My vehicle had a faulty clock spring in the steering column. this has been a problem for vw since 2011 and they are not covering it under warranty. it happened while driving. the steering column made a cracking noise then started making a grinding noise. at that point the steering button controls stopped working and the airbag light came on.
Safety issue! leased the vehicle in january. two incidents when all vehicle lights turn off while driving in the dark. happens when in motion and when it is dark or foggy out. have brought in to volkswagen dealer 2 times for repair and happened again for the third time while driving in the dark. when this occurs the wipers also go off automatically yet it is not raining. then when the vehicle is parked, the headlights stay on and will not turn off and kills the battery.
The emergency flashers or hazard lights are inoperative. also wipers turn on by itself ocassionaly.
