The clock spring on my car's steering has failed twice now in a 4 year period. Vw refuses to acknowledge it's a problem and claims my model is not impacted by other recalls for that part. This last time the clock spring failed, the ribbon came undone and prevented me from turning the steering wheeling, nearly causing a wreck. After forcefully jerking the steering wheel, the ribbon came loose and I was able to turn. This is a safety issue since the loss of steering can result in a wreck.
