general problems of the 2010 Volkswagen Passat

I purchased a used vehicle but have found out the oxygen sensor is feeding false error codes to the main obc causing leaks into driver compartment causing engine to stall while auto in motion and most importantly causing steering wheel to lock, have spoken with vwoa but they have no direct influence with vw or dealerships even if a warranty issue because all parties are independent contractors and all they are able to do is try and help. My name has not been transferred to registration because of smog requirements so you may call me [xxx] my telephone number is [xxx] my case# with vwoa is [xxx], I myself have learned to deal with defects but should this matter be more widespread which I cannot find out because the last case regarding the sensors was sealed in an agreement made by the California arb, epa and vw and Audi through a settlement signed in December 2021. Once again my hands are tied from taking much more action but I believe your department whether is able to enforce this matter or not should at least investigate and issue warnings to advise people of what can happen so if they can even at own cost seek appropriate repairs before more damages accrued. Also if this sensor is effecting more models and manufacturers an appropriate temporary fix should be seeker since no long term solutions are available at this time information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My vehicle was involved in the airbag recall. After it was repaired, the clockspring failed and the "airbag error" light came on. This vehicle isn't part of the earlier clockspring recall, but it should be.

My vehicle was a part of the clockspring recall for vw in 2015. The airbag light is now on and all steering wheel electrical controls are no longer working. Mechanic says it is a failure of the clockspring in the steering wheel.

The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Passat. When the steering wheel was turned, the horn inadvertently sounded. The vehicle had to be turned off and restarted to disengage the horn. The contact stated that the failure began after the vehicle was serviced on January 25, 2016 for NHTSA campaign number: 15v483000 (air bags). The vehicle was not taken back to the dealer (Audi boise, 8400 west franklin road boise, idaho 83709, (208) 377-5400) for diagnostic testing or repairs; however, the contact removed the horn relay. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 52,000.
