I didn't know about the recall until now. The dealership where I bought the vehicle did not. Let me know about no recall other than he did all the service himself and come to know nothing was done I'm still waiting on my registration . I was turning into my driveway when I heard a strange clicking noise coming form the steering wheel column. As soon as I heard the clicking sound the airbag indicator light started flashing on my dashboard and the buttons on my steering wheel stopped working. Did some research on the airbag sensor which lead to learning about the clock spring malfunction. Not only I’m I at risk of my airbag not deploying, my horn does not work. The horn malfunction came to knowledge when a car pulled out in front of me causing me to run off the road. I spoke with auto plus dealership about the malfunction recall. I was told since my car is over 155k miles it could not be replaced under the recall extended warranty. I has just purchased my 2023 vw in October of 202. . I have only owned the car for a less than a month. Yes, the car is available to be inspected upon request. But nothing was done. Because he said they found nothing wrong they just reset the light and gave it back to me. As soon as I turned my vehicle back on the light came back on I have not fixed my car I dont have money for parts.
I have had an issue with my transmission since I’ve got it. I got it with only 155,000 miles on it in Nov 2023. When I touch my brakes going slow or pull off from a red light my vehicle will make a sharp noise and shook when I switch gears it will occasionally get stuck and shake when I pull off. I took it to auto plus dealership service a couple times in 2023 where they assured me I had no transmission issue. I had other things like control arms and tires issues that I had fixed. But my car was still doing the same thing. So, I took it to various shops and auto plus dealership service many times throughout the entire year of 2023. Then finally they told me there is a issue with my 02-sense kit and dual mass flywheel as well. During the time they found that issue it was only about 150, 000 miles on my vehicle. Auto plus dealership is known to have transmission issues so I was shocked when I was told about the recall. On the issue since my car had high miles on it and it is a known issue. It is progressively getting worse to where it is becoming a hazard and I can't continue to drive my vehicle. And now the auto plus won't fix all this recall on my vehicle knowing how they sold the vehicle in the 1st place. . .
