I was driving on the expressway when a car on the shoulder pulled out without seeing me. I went to honk my horn and it didn't work. I luckily swerved into the next lane without hitting the car in the next lane. I found out it's not just my horn but the cock spring needs replacing. Nothing on my steering wheel works now and my airbag warning light stays on.
Airbag warning light came on. Diagnosed by vw as a problem with the "steering wheel clock spring". Although press release included recall information for this part and problem, on this make and model, vw declined to include my vehicle in its recall. Since this vehicle was purchased for my 17 year old new driver and safety, I had no choice but to pay over $360 to replace the defective airbag part. Vw said they would reimburse me if the vehicle did end up in the recall at a later date.
Turned vehicle on, air bag warning light came on and won't go off. Taken to vw dealer and they said something about a module that would have to be repaired and they're not responsible for that. No accident has occurred that would cause the airbag to deploy or cause the light to go on. It certainly is an issue that vw should repair. Car only has a little over 40,000 miles.
