Air Bag Light On Problems of Volkswagen CC

As I was making a u-turn I could hear a noice from my steeling wheel and immediately the airbag light came on and read "error: airbag". I couldn't help but panic thinking of all the possibilities that can happen. I noticed the buttons on the steering wheel weren't working and later realizing my horn didnt work either. I called the nearest dealership and they automatically wanted to charge me for a diagnosis. They insisted that they had already worked on an airbag recall (69y5) my car had and that the diagnosis found "numerous codes. " one of them was code vag00588 -driver airbag igniter upper limit exceeded telling me they need to install a new steeling wheel clock spring. Debris like fibers and hairs interfered with the wires causing the wires to break internally and resulting in a loss of electrical connection to the drivers frontal airbag. Meaning it will prevent the airbag from deploying in the event of a crash. They quoted me a price of $971. 77 for repairs plus the $160. 00 for the diagnosis. I was furious and refused to spend more money on repairs. I have always taken care of everything my car needs. I've spent so much money on it already. But this is where I draw the line, I'm not spending another grand+ on it when this is clearly a manufacturing defect. I am a commuter. I commute long distances to and from work everyday, so having a faulty airbag, non responding horn or steering wheel controls is extremely scary. Interestingly, vw recalled certain 2010-2014 vehicles with exactly the same issue. Recall code:69l2 Volkswagen needs to take responsibility, recall 2015 vw Cc and correct this defect free of charge. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed without delay. I rely on this car everyday so this issue gets me more and more upset each and everyday.

I started to hear a weird noise when turning. A couple of days later the airbag light came on and the horn and buttons on the steering wheel stopped working. It's very dangerous to drive without a horn and it's scary to know that your airbag won't deploy in a crash. This happened at 50,000 miles.

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.

After a recall on airbag was done, two weeks later I took the car in because a airbag light came on. Was told its control module for pods all, which costs $2,357. 68. This module controls the airbags whether or not they go off in an accident. Well mine went out without ever being in an accident. The car only has 76k miles and vw told me it has nothing to do with the other airbag recall and that part is only covered until 36k miles. This super expensive safety issue should be looked at not be put upon a customer.

There was a recall on the steering wheel clock spring on the Volkswagen Cc. Instead of replacing the clock spring in my car, there was a temporary �rubber bamd� placed on the steering wheel clock. The following week, the entire steering wheel clock broke and the air bag light came on. I cannot use any of the functions on my steering wheel. The dealership claims that the problem was fixed according to the recall and it's nothing they can do about it.

Air bag light is on after 6 months of taking the car to the dealer to repair the issue after the recall. Went back to dealer and they want to charge me to fix the issue.

I had my clock spring replaced last year due to the recall, then my airbag light went on and my steering wheal started doing a clicking sound when I steer to the left or right all control panels on my steering wheel stopped functioning including the horn. I called Volkswagen and they said that they would charge me $150 to access the car, I told them about clock spring and they said that I would have to pay to get that fixed. I really don't find this fair that I have to pay to get something fixed that originally wasn't done correctly I think that they should take more responsibility for their workmanship. Also my seatbelt claps docent work I called them to see if this is something that they would fix being a safety issue and they said no. I think that all car companies should be responsible for seatbelt and airbag issues on a car. Not everyone has the money to replace seatbelt clasp and many people live day by day on there paycheck.

There was a recall in 2015 involving a clock spring in the steering wheel. Recall description: hair or other fibers may contaminate the airbag clock spring (a spiral wound, flat cable that keeps the airbag powered while the steering wheel is being turned). This contamination may tear the cable and result in a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal airbag. A loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal airbag will prevent the airbag from deploying in the event of a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury. On February 29, 2016, vw did a recall repair by installing a cover over the clock spring. On November 22, 2017, I was driving and when I made a turn, I heard a pop in my steering wheel. My airbag light immediately came on along with an airbag error. I lost the use of my horn and the controls on my steering wheel, along with my airbag deployment. I made an appointment to have this seen about. I was told that I had to replace the clock spring for a fee of $877. 88. I questioned this because it was a recall issue and was told that the repair was covered for 12 months/12,000 miles (which ever came first) and it was out of warranty. First of all, the clock spring was not replaced, a cover was put on it. How do I not know that there were fibers in the clock spring before the cover was put on? I feel that vw took an easy way out of fixing a problem that could have serious issues later, which I am now experiencing.

Hello, I have a 2010 vw Cc. My airbag light has come on and my horn and steering wheel controls don't work. Volkswagen does have a recall for the "clockspring" which would fix all this but my VIN is not covered under this recall even though some of the same cars and same year are covered. I called them and they said I would have to go get it fixed at a dealership and I would maybe get a refund. Since then my steering wheel light has came on and it is very hard to turn. I can't believe they wouldn't cover this. I would think airbag and horn are huge safety concerns and they already know that this parts fails. When I called Volkswagen customer service they lady could not help me at all other then saying there is another recall for the airbag but they don't have a fix yet so there's nothing they can do. I at least would like my airbag and horn to work, right? also, I asked to speak to a manager twice and both times I was put on a 10 minute hold only for her to come back and say "my manager told me to tell you" both times. No help at all. I truly hate Volkswagen and their customer service. Any help or direction would be much appreciated. Thank you - benjamin r.
