Two problems related to horn assembly have been reported for the 2016 Volkswagen Golf. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2016 Volkswagen Golf based on all problems reported for the 2016 Golf.
All steering wheel controls inoperative. This includes airbag, horn, cruise control, radio controls, etc.
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.
