Air Bag Light On problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat

The airbag light stayed on and the horn stopped working.

Steering clock spring was reportedly fixed as part of the recall but has failed again. Airbag light is on. Horn does not work. Steering wheel controls do not work. Cruise control is not working. Vw will not repair the recall work done without charge. Seatbelt tensioner is also now reportedly affected.

While turning the steering wheel, I started hearing a clicking noise. Shortly after the horn or controls are not working and airbag light is on.

I had turned my car on and noticed my airbag light had come on and all my controls and horn had stopped working. This is a major safety issue. I took it into a repair shop and they showed me a recall that happened in 2015. The recall said the airbag clock spring may fail and that this could effect all controls, including the horn. (NHTSA campaign number: 15v483000) they asked me to look into this before fixing. So, I called the Volkswagen service center to check, and unfortunately my car was not covered under this recall, even though it says 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat the cost of this happening to my car is over $800. 00. Nothing I did to make this happen, it just happened. I am baffled that this was a recall in the past and only covered a certain amount of vins. Clearly, my car and others (based off of the other complaints I have read) are having this same safety issue that Volkswagen is liable for but not taking it into account. I am very upset knowing they will not cover this cost. What is the point of having a recall if they only fix a fraction of the cars? very disappointed.

The problem I'm having with my 2014 Passat is that one day out the blue my airbag light came on. I parked and turn of the car thinking that would solve the problem. When I started my car back up, the airbag is still on and now the horn and also the buttons on the steering wheel isn't working anymore. I have not hit anything or had any accidents period. I see many complaints from vw owners about the same issue. . . . But I don't see any recalls about this problem. This is a big issue for me because I live in illinois and my car horn doesn't work.

Yesterday, as I was turning out of my driveway, I heard an unusual clicking noise coming from my steering wheel. I drove to work (approx 2 miles from my home) and parked car. When I started my car 8 hours later, my dash screen read "error airbag" and the airbag light was on. The clicking noise is still present but doesn't occur every time I turn the wheel. . . Only sometimes. This morning,(error light still illuminated) as I was pulling out of my driveway, I noticed my control functions on steering wheel were no longer working. I am terrified that my airbag will deploy. My vehicle has not been involved in any accidents and I am the only owner of the vehicle. My vehicle is not part of the takata recall but the issues I am having seem very similar.

Air bag light on for driver airbag and made everything on steering wheel stop working.

Airbag light stays illuminated. None of the steering wheel electricsl works, including the horn.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Passat. While the contact attempted to turn the steering wheel in a parking lot, a clicking noise was heard and the air bag indicator illuminated. A week later, the horn seized. The vehicle was taken to Volkswagen of murrieta (951-249-7072, located at 41300 date st, murrieta, CA 92562) where it was determined that there was no recall.

All of the controls on the steering wheel have stopped working and the airbag light is on. This is when the vehicle is stationary and moving. Vehicle has very low mileage.

Takata recall- had the recall fixed. Clock spring is broken again- airbag light is back on and steering wheel controls are no longer working. Vw says "tough luck" it's not covered a second time even though this fix didn't even last a year. Car is currently in the shop for a host of other issues surrounding the emissions recall and sensors that aren't working yet again.

The airbag light has come on, horn no longer works and the controls on the steering wheel do not work. From what I can tell it is a failure of the clock spring. Took it into dealer for recall on vehicle and was told they do not have the parts or instructions yet to fix it.

The horn, airbag on drivers side, and bluetooth. All the components in the steering wheel stopped working. The airbag light came on in the dashboard, and the rest stopped working after a few days of light clicking noise from the steering wheel when turning. I had to take it for repair 3/13/18.

Clock spring broke in the car, 2014 model with 53k miles on it. Wife was just driving one day hear a snap and noticed the air bag light was on and horn and other button on steering wheel were not working.

In August of 2017, my airbag light came on and my horn stopped working. There was also a clicking sound when turning the steering wheel. I took the vehicle to Volkswagen and was informed that the clock spring had failed and needed to be replaced. After conducting some research, I found that other 2014 Passats had been recalled for the same exact issue. My VIN was not covered under the recall, and so I had to pay out of pocket for a new clock spring. I believe that the Volkswagen recall was not broad enough to cover all vehicles affected. I reported this to the NHTSA at the time of the incident. However, about 6 months later, my vehicle began having the same issues. I was informed that the second clock spring had failed and needed to be replaced. Because the part was new, Volkswagen covered the repairs. I did not report this second occurrence of clock spring failure at the time. I am reporting the re-occurrence of the clock spring failure now, as I still hope the initial recall will be expanded and that I will get refunded from replacing it the first time. I hope this additional information can help with any ongoing investigations. I am providing documentation of both instances of clock spring failure in my 2014 Passat.

Turned car on to pull out of a parking spot in a parking lot, hear loud crack, airbag light came on, now steering wheel buttons don't work, horn doesn't work, and I hear something rattling around in my steering wheel and it makes noise when I turn.

I was turning right at a speed of 30 when I heard a loud pop sound and the air bag light went on and all components on steering wheel stopped working. The horn does not work either. I brought car to vw dealer the same day and they ran a diagnostic test and said I need a new clockspring. I have heard many Passats have this issue but my cars VIN was not on the recall list. It's a safety hazard. Now I have a car with a broken clockspring. Amongst many other vw owners. Please help us.

Airbag light came on while turning the steering wheel. I looked up a similar issue on NHTSA website (15v483000 campaign) with a steering wheel clock spring issue for multiple vw vehicles. It listed 'some' 2014 Passat's as being affected. I took it to the dealer who stated that my VIN was not listed as being effected, however it has to given it is the same make/model as this NHTSA campaign. Please consider reviewing and expanding this recall. Vehicle is less than 3 years old and it is clearly the same issue.

I was turning my steering wheel to park and heard a noise in the steering wheel that sounded like a wire stretching. Air bag light came on dashboard. Vehicle taken to vw dealer. Dealer states 'airbag clock spring' broken. A NHTSA recall exists for 2014 vw Passat, yet my vehicle is not included in it? NHTSA website states recall closed, yet my 2014 Passat has a defective clockspring. How can this be? dealer now wants $700 to repair and my life is in danger. Please reopen this recall of the 2014 vw clockspring issue since it is not complete and is putting lives at risk.

Upon pulling out of a parking space and turning the steering wheel there was a cracking noise and then the airbag light went off with an airbag warning. At which point all mechanisms within the steering wheel stopped working. I called my local dealer only to be informed that my VIN was not affected by the air bag clock spring failure and I would have to pay to have it diagnosed and fixed. There is currently a recall report receipt date: Aug 04, 2015 NHTSA campaign number: 15v483000 component(s): air bags NHTSA action number: pe15010 air bag clockspring failure: for this exact same issue affecting the Passat 2010,2012-2014 mine is also a 2014 and is not covered because my VIN was supposedly not affected.
