general problems of the 2012 Volkswagen Golf

Heated seats get extremely hot. Smell of burning. Possible to catch fire or burn people vw patrick Volkswagen auburn MA confirmed that electrical inspection to rule out seat recall no. No recall has been submitted yet when I first bought the car in 2025.

My vehicle struck a car from behind moving about 35 mph. Air bags did not deploy and I had a proceeding next injury. Why did the airbags not deploy? I have read that "a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag will prevent the air bag from deploying in the event of a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury" for 2011-2014 Golf. I would like confirmation that this was supposed to happen, no airbag deployment. My car was totaled.

Air bag clockspring.

My local Volkswagen dealership stated there is a recall on certain vw models for the clock-spring located inside the steering column. My vehicle has been making a terrible noise when I turn the wheel in either direction, which vw attributes to the clock-spring. They told me the 2012 Golf tdi model is not covered under the recall but apparently this clock-spring problem impacts other models. They warned the problem will get worse and eventually impact the steering, airbag, turn signals, horn, and other electrical components inside the steering wheel. They quoted the cost to replace the clock-spring is $890. So my question is can the recall be broadened to include 2012 Golf tdis as well?.

Takata recall I spoke with vw customer care and they said there is no fix currently available due to a lack of parts. Furthermore, they said they are not providing an alternative to driving my defective car and they will not disable the faulty air bag. So I'm left driving a car that may kill me. I find this unacceptable.

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Golf. The contact stated that NHTSA campaign number: 16v078000 (air bags) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair. The contact received the recall notification in April of 2016. The manufacturer stated that the parts were not available. The VIN was unknown. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Takata recall - received notice over 18 months ago that the passenger airbag needs to be replaced but have not received information that a new airbag is available. What is taking so long? this issue needs to be addressed for the passengers in my car.

This car was involved in a vehicle crash. Impact was to the driver's side primarily to the door and front end. Despite the severity of the impact, no air bags deployed from the driver's side or the steering wheel. I sustained an injury to the shoulder and am concerned about the safety of the vehicle.
