The clock spring on this vehicle has failed which controls the driver side airbag, horn and all other buttons on the steering wheel. Apparently, there are almost 5,000 people waiting for this part to fix their car which most are under extended warranties since vw knows they have an issue with this part. I have made numerous calls trying to get this part and there is no end in sight as to when my vw dealer can expect it to get my car fixed. I find this unacceptable, and it sounds like vw is not even manufacturing this part and it could be months or even years before this is resolved. I will not drive my car without a horn or airbag. I am sure many people are driving around with this issue.
