Warning Light On problems of the 2012 Volkswagen Passat

Takata recall. I took my vehicle into vw in 3/2016 for the recall. At that time none of the controls on my steering wheel were working and the air bag warning light was on. I was advised they put a cover over the clock spring and also replaced the clock spring. Fast forward to 2018 and theres an issue with the clock spring needing to be replaced again. The driver airbag warning light is on agaon, steering wheel controls dont working and to add to that now a clicking sound when the steering wheel is turned. Vvw says im outside warranty on recalled parts and I'm the one that will be out of pocket on the $700 repair.

On 01/10/18 I took my vehicle in for some recalls. On 05/22/18, I heard noise coming from the steering column, the airbag warning light illuminated on the dashboard and all of the steering-mounted controls failed. This occurred while I was driving, and can hear the noises most when turning. Based on my research and talk with other vw drivers, it appears to be the clock spring (which had a recall on it, and was supposed to have been fixed). I understand there is no active recall on this issue, however, does this not indicate the recall performed failed? that being said, I dont feel safe driving around in a vehicle that says my airbag wont deploy if I am in an accident.

Had a clockspring failure in 2012 Passat, causing air bag warning light, and failure of all steering wheel controls. Have noted recall for this item for cars produced just prior to mine based on VIN sequence. Vw apparently did not correct the issue in production because I have had the exact issue covered in the recall, yet my car is not covered. Cost was over $600 for repair. The recall should be expanded based on these failures and what I have seen on repeat failures after the recall was done on many cars. It should be obvious that their initial fix is not a true fix for the issue.

Twice the clock spring has broken and had to be replaced. My vehicle was not identified under the 2015 clock spring recall. I bought the vehicle new, first replacement at approx 60,000 miles in December 2014, second replacement at 119,000 miles today. The vehicle is less than 6 years old. 5 times (including clock spring repair) I have taken the vehicle in for repair due to warning light indicators.

Takata recall. I had the airbag repair done under the original recall. The repair failed causing the air bag warning light to illuminate and all of the device controls on the steering wheel to stop working, so I brought it to the vw dealer to have it repaired and was told that it was not covered by the original recall and the repair cost me over $500. I did contact vw directly as did the service representative at the dealership that did the repair. . . We were both told that the repair was not covered.

Takata recall: I phoned vw customer care on 08/10/2016 requesting a recall letter but never received it. I reported this to jonathan bradley/hallmark vw used car salesman. I reported to gossett vw service agent jeff who said my recall date was 09/30/2017. 08/25/2017 airbag warning light flashed this one time. The low tire indicator came on 09/13/2017 so I drove to gossett to have my tires inflated. The technician did not re-set the indicator in the glove compartment per jennifer osbourn/servide agent as it was locked. When I drove the car again on 09/16/17 the abs, traction control, seat belt pretensior & low tire indicator light illuminated. Got appointment on 09/22/17 to have their work inspected. I also asked for authorization to repair the takata airbag. On 09/22/17 gossett refused to touch the car unless I paid them $140. 00 diagnostic fee. Following the diagnostic I was told it would cost another $140. 00 to clean dirt from the short to the passenger seat sensor. No problems existed prior to the 09/13/ visit to inflate the tires. Total paid was $340. 41. Following this visit the re-set is inoperable, the low tire indicator, seat belt, airbag and traction control lights come on and off each time the vehicle is turned on and flash in and out during driving. The esp/abs light in the middle panel on the dash comes on, the fuel filler flap door is malfunctioning in the reverse order for this year vehicle, error airbag and error esp/abs warnings come on. On 09/22/17 my vehicle was returned with broken off part # vw 8e038813348e>abs< front passenger floor. Reported via mail toal gossett/ceo, vw customer care live chat, telephone to jennifer osborn/service agent, dwayne hill/service manager gossett germantown. Tuesday, 10/17/I received a call from jason tripp but have not been able to make contact with him to date.

Takata recall. Purchased a 2012 vw Passat on 08/07/2015. Was not aware of the recall until the salesman made a follow-up courtesy call to me on 08/08/2016. He was advised I never received a letter. I phoned vw customer care, verified my address and requested a letter from them after renewing my registration but never received a recall letter to this day. August 25, 2017 the airbag warning light came on. September 13, 2017 the low tire indicator light came on. I took my vehicle to gossett vw, had the tires inflated and when I drove the vehicle two days later the abs/traction control/tire pressure/ and seatbelt lights were continually flashing. I spoke to an advocate via chat on vw's seb site. She authorized the airbag repair on 09/22/2017. I paid approximately $341. 00 to resolve the problem with the warning lights but to date, 09/27/2017 the problem persists. The dealership did not respond to my complaint and the file was closed on 09/25/2017. I phoned customer care earlier today, Wednesday, 09/27/2017 and reopened the case. My vehicle only had 38,415 miles on it. The repair report according to service agent j. O. Claimed they found a short to the passenger occupant sensor causing the abs light, tire light, and traction light. Correction: repaired short and cleaned right rear speed sensor and bearing. On 09/22, the bottom driver takata airbag was performed. Not only are the same lights alarming each time I turn on the vehicle, but this morning the esp error light flashed. Vw customer care was advised and reopened the complaint. Following the service visit I discovered a broken part with vw # 8e0. 881. 348. E on the right floor mat of the car. This is alarming. I was advised an advocate from vw corporate should be calling me in response to this horrific ordeal. These incidences occurred 2 weeks after the certified pre- owned warranty expired. Never had any problems with the vehicle before this. I am a senior citizen who is extremely alarmed with this matter.
