Recall still not complete and no date from Volkswagen on when the repairs will be done. I have been working with vw for 3 weeks to arrange getting a loaner car (no date of when this will be available either).

Manufacturer recall number 69eg NHTSA recall number 24v834 this recall was announced in October and I have been calling the dealership every month since then to have it repaired. They've said the part is on backorder with no estimate on when it will come in. It's been almost a year and I am anxious every time I drive my car that my airbag could explode resulting in injury. If a recall can result in death, shouldn't it be repaired in under a year? it's heat sensitive and it gets over 100 degrees where I live, which is even hotter in the vehicle.

Airbag light is on dashboard indicating system is not operating.

My vehicle was part of the emissions scandal that I knew nothing about when I purchased it. I was not told. I have had it in over 15 times at the dealership with ongoing problems that they say they fixed but isn't and because of its other problems have occurred. The vehicle gets hot, and I am afraid to drive it out of fear of it exploding. It is a diesel and has stalled on me while driving after jerking on its own. Other issues are lights going out such as break lights, fog lights and doors locking up and not locking. Glow plugs, fan going out and now problems with the coolant system getting hot. I have taken it to Volkswagen tracy where I bought it several times, but they only charge me more in diagnostic fees and repairs. I noticed when driving on the highway people stay far at a distance in back of me than normal. Now with a recall on the airbags after it gets hot, I am afraid to drive it out of fear of serious injury or death to me and my family. Date is approximate and I have over 50 pages of repair invoices.

While making a u turn the clock spring broke, the air bag light came on and the steering wheel controls no longer function. This is the third time it has broken in this vehicle.

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 clockspring 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 Volkswagen manufacturer about the malfunction recall. I was told since my car is over 120k miles it could not be replaced under the 10 year recall extended warranty. I purchased my 2013 vw cc in October of 2022. I have only owned the car for one year. Yes, the car is available to be inspected upon request.

My instrument cluster stopped working yday. I could hear something inside or behind the steering wheel when I turned it. Obviously my clock spring has failed. I am pretty sure my car had a recall on this in the past. I haven’t had another ride to little rock to take my car for repairs. I can not afford to fix this. The part alone is over 400$. I understand it is very dangerous to drive. I have no other way to get anywhere. I need this part replaced if possible at all by volkswagon. There were 6 recalls on my car last time I checked. This being one of them. It is very dangerous to drive for me and everyone on the roadways. Please help. Thank you.

The clock spring broke again only four years from being repaired with the last recall.

While I was driving I notice my steering wheel making a crumbling of plastic noise when I made any kind of turn . A few days later my airbag error lamp started to blink. I parked and restarted my engine then the airbag became solid . My dash read “airbag error” . I notice all my steering wheel buttons do not work . Came home and neither does my horn . My car has never been in accident , but I feel it’s a safety hazard . I’m basically driving mute and I’m sure my airbag will not deploy in case of accident . Also, vw does have a recall on the clock spring but was never completed due to not hearing back from manufacturer . That was a few years back and do not understand how recalls work , but a recall was started for a reason and not completed. Is that even possible? this a serious safety issue if I’m in an accident without an airbag . Also the horn will not work in case to warn other drivers of a possible fatal hazard.

While driving airbag error flashed on dash and the airbag light-lamp came on . Also my steering wheel horn and buttons do not work . I had no past indication . I am driving with no horn and most likely no airbag deployment in case of accident. No inspection yet. Actually at risk if driven to the dealership.

The front seat passenger side air bag sensor switch is out. This is a common problem on the vw, Audi's and similar. The failure of the airbag switch puts the passenger at risk. No good reason that the switchs should go out so soon in the models.

Unsure how this problem arose, but suddenly the airbag error light appeared and non of the controls on the steering wheel work. This also includes the horn, and airbag. From googling it appears there was a recall for the 2013 vw Passat for a faulty clock spring in the steering wheel which can cause the airbag light to appear and be faulty.

Records indicate clock spring recall service was performed at some time in the past. Same exact problem recurred last week. Clearly the recall service did not remedy the problem.

Vw has a back order of over 7,000 clock springs with no time table for delivery. No relief provided by vw. Drive vehicle at your own risk.

The airbag light came on, the horn won't work, and none of the steering wheel controls work. I think it is the clockspring failure that wasn't fixed right.

My horn doesn’t work airbags don’t work car cut off 2 times on highway.

My vehicle was involved in a crash where vehicle 1 (v1) ran a red light and my vehicle struck v1 along the rear passenger side door, causing my vehicle to spin 180 degrees. The front end of my vehicle was torn off and no airbags deployed, causing injury to the driver of my vehicle. The driver sustained a concussion and whip lash. My vehicle was traveling under 10mph and v1 was approximately 40-50mph. There were no recall repairs listed for my vehicle, but there was a recall in the past for the airbags. I do believe the airbag recall was repaired by a dealership. My vehicle had no warning/indicator lights on the instrument panel showing any problems with the vehicle or the airbags.

The steering wheel is making a clicking noise and the airbag error light came on. The horn and steering wheel control buttons no longer work. My car was fixed in the last airbag recall but will now need a new clock spring. It hasn’t been fixed yet but the airbags will not deploy if anything occurs.

Recall still from 2015!!! clock spring defect need to have fixed ASAP!!! dealer says have to replace ourselves really???? it’s a manufacturer recall.

The contact owns a 2013 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated the that while the vehicle was idling, there was an abnormal clicking sound detected. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated and the horn became inoperable. The contact called the local dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 236,000. The VIN was not available.

My vw Passat has no turn signals, horn, bright lights, wipers just all steering column and steering wheel controls don’t work. Have even heard airbag don’t work. Vw shop in st. Peter’s missouri said my clock spring is broke but part is back ordered. They said come get the car it is drivable until unknown time part will come in. My car might drive but it is illegal and unsafe to drive without wipers in rain and no turn signals. Unsafe to not have horn, bright lights, or air bag.

The clockspring was repaired June 14 2018, my airbag light turned on when I was backing up my vehicle and none of the steering wheel control buttons operate.

* driver air bag, horn, all controls in steering wheel. * not having a horn or working air bag * yes, defective clock switch has been confirmed-this was a recall, was replaced and failed again * no- dealer/recall repair center only * no, air bag light came on and that was it. At that moment nothing worked this occurred in March 2022. I was told it would take 1-2 months to get the part. The part is still unavailable. Called vm customer care-they instructed me to call the dealer. The dealer has no control over parts coming from vw. Now driving 8 months without an airbag or horn. All controls in the steering wheel are inoperable. Most are convenience items. Air bag and horn are safety issues.

The clock spring was diagnosed to be faulty in February '22 and a new part was ordered and not in yet. This has made the airbag, wipers and horn stop working. This is a failure that affects thousands of vws and they have no idea when the new parts will be available. This auto is my only transportation!.
