Electronic Stability Control problem #1

Horn, steering wheel buttons, power steering and driver side airbag are not working as a result of a faulty clock spring.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

All lights came on at same time, no notable reason given for issue. Just told costs associated aren't under warranty or recalls.

Electronic Stability Control problem #3

Recently my 2015 vw Passat stalled while stopped at a red light. Dealer advised that it was giving codes for a malfunctioning air intake absolute pressure sensor. After it was replaced under warranty, the engine continued to run very rough and seemed to be sluggish. On taking it back to the dealer I have been advised that the code for the absolute pressure sensor has reappeared and vw suspects that it is an engine electrical harness problem which is due for replacement. Additionally, the esc light lit up on the dashboard one evening and stayed on for about an hour and went away after the engine had been turned off for about an hour. Based on other complaints I read, there appears to be a pattern in such malfunctions - either electrical or computer-related. If the car were to stall or go out of control in full traffic, it could lead to a potentially life-threatening situation.
