Air Bag Light On problems of the 2015 Volkswagen Passat

Part of takata air bag. Air bag lights on in dash. Vehicle listed for airbag recall. But not when itype in VIN. Received air bag settlement letter but when I go to register, recall only goes to 2010 vw Passat. As stated 2015 Passat is listed for air bag recall.

Takata recall. I tried to do factory recall airbag, but my airbag module is not working. The dealer doesn't/cannot do anything about it. Airbag indicator sometimes blinks and sometimes doesn’t. My Volkswagen Passat is 2015.

Update June 2019 - now my car has 53,000 miles. My replaced clock spring has failed again. No horn, or steering wheel controls and the airbag light is on. This is 8 months/10 miles after I had it replaced. This is a safety issue. I am requesting that dot NHTSA investigate a safety issue with clock spring part on my 2015 vw Passat, which controls both the air bags and the horn. I purchased the car new in sept 2015. I started my car with 42,500 miles and the airbag light came on and stayed on. The vehicle was stationary in a flat parking lot the first time I noticed the air bag light. When I drove the vehicle and turned the steering wheel there were clicking noises coming from the steering wheel area. When I got home, I googled a couple possible causes and scheduled the vehicle in to a mechanic. Before I could get vehicle in for service, the horn and other steering wheel controls went out. I was left without airbags and a horn on a vehicle that I drive daily. The mechanic determined that the clock spring needs to be replaced.

Clock spring failure!!! clock spring failure!!! clock spring failure!!! while moving and executing a right turn a crunching noise was heard from the center of the steering wheel. The airbag light immediately came on. Also, the horn & all steering wheel buttons/controls failed. This car was purchased a week prior from carvana. 49,300 miles on the odo. Too late to return it. The clock spring failure means that the airbag system is not active until the part is replaced, installed, and the system is reset. A quick read thru of these numerous complaints from model year 2015 show these failures of a safety-critical part over the last 18 months are now occurng with increasing frequency. It is quite obvious to me that vwoa/chattanooga installed the same defective part, from the same supplier, that fails after about 2. 5-3 years in service. This problem is no different than that of the thousands of identical failures in vw Passat model years 2012, 2013, & 2014 leading to a recall of the defective component. Immediate action is required by dot to readdress and recall this previously recalled part. Vw dealers are currently charging 2015 Passat owners between $500 and $800 to install a $35 part. If their Passat is older than 2015, the part is installed gratis as part of that recall. . Vw will not act until prompted/ordered to do so. Something is rotten in wolfsburg again! let's quickly act before more are harmed/killed because an airbag system failed to operate when parameters dictated it should have deployed.

Loss of airbags, power brakes, power steering, transmission shifting functions, engine hesitation. Indicator lights on dash flash or stay on steady include: coil, steering wheel, air bag, abs, image of car skidding, brakes, and tire inflation. The speedometer does not work and the fuel gauge just keeps sweeping. The rev limiter does not work either. The auto start feature is non functional and the push button to stop the motor from running must be pressed twice instead of once. Car had this discrepancy on 30 Jan 2019, 06 Feb 2019, and now 27 Feb 2019. The dealers keep working on a grounding nut but the problem keeps persisting. Problem has always accursed immediately after starting the car, not while driving.

Airbag light on, steering controls (on steering wheel, radio, horn) no longer functioning.

Steering wheel started making a clicking sound and controls and horn on the steering wheel no longer function. The air bag light came on immediately. Car started havint this issue when first started and backing out of a parking space.

I was parked on flat ground while starting my car this morning and noticed the air bag light on the dash board stayed light. Then I noticed the stereo control on the steering wheel was not light and did not work. At work I did some research and found that it could be the clock spring. When I got home from work I tested my horn to find that my horn does not work. My vehicle has 47773 miles and I bought it new. I'm almost positive it is the clock spring after all the research I have done. I feel vw should extend the recall past 2014 because it seems obvious that the issue continued into 2015 models.

This first was notice when car was parked and started to drive on the highway steering wheel makes a clicking noise when its is turned. At the same time as the noise started the air bag light can on and stays on. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Vw said it is a wiring problem from the airbag modulal to the sensor instead of a direct fix they did a overlay of the circuit wires. This has now failed.

Steering wheel began clicking when being turned. Air bag light came on. Horn and steering wheel controls are not working. Appears to be a failed clock spring.

The vehicle was in park in a flat lot when I first noticed that my airbag light was on, as well as my steering wheel controls for the stereo did not work. Upon driving the vehicle, I noticed a clicking coming from the steering column when turning. I spoke with a local mechanic who told me about the previous vw recalls for clock springs, and that I was having that same issue, but mine would not be covered by the recall.

At around 47,000 miles I began hearing a clicking noise when turning my steering wheel. After a day or two of this my airbag light came on. I lost function of my horn and found that out while traveling at highway speeds when some one was merging into my lane without checking to see if it was clear. I also lost all steering wheel mounted controls. I purchased the vehicle used about 27 days prior so I returned to the dealer and was informed I was responsible for the repairs. They did trouble shoot the issue and let me know that the clock spring was defective.

There is a weird noise when I turn the steering wheel and the controls on the steering wheel do not work. The airbag light is on.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that the air bag indicator illuminated and remained lit. The contact also stated that the horn did not work. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and referred the contact to NHTSA. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

Around the 60,000 mile mark, the airbag light came on, and the horn, as well as the steering wheel controls, stopped working. Went to the dealership, where they figured it was the clockspring, which would cost nearly $700 to replace. Vw has prevously issued recalls for other models because of this very issue.

The contact owns a 2015 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the clock spring failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

Volkswagen Passat recall my husband and I bought a 2015 Volkswagen Passat in January of 2016. It was the newest car we have ever purchased as a young professional couple with two small children. Well at 36,750 miles in March of 2017, the steering wheel began to click and the airbag light came on. I was no longer able to use the horn, the radio or the phone from the steering wheel. I called the dealer where we purchased the car and he said it sounded like a clockspring and that we did have a warranty for 3 years or up to 36,000 miles and since we were so close, we needed to call the Volkswagen dealer. I called new motors in erie, PA. I talked to a very nice mechanic that agreed that it sounded like that was indeed the issue. He informed me that Volkswagen had recalled that particular part on the 2012-14 models but had yet to recall it on our 2015 model that we had. He also said that although we were very close to the 36,000-mile warranty, it was out of his hands to fix it under warranty and to call corporate to give him the go ahead to do so since it did seem like this is the right call since we were so close to the warranty and it is a consistent problem in these models. My husband and I both talked to Volkswagen corporate several times since March of 2017 to only have them treat us poorly and tell us that it isn't their concern. My airbags and horn currently aren't working because of it. I had the erie Volkswagen dealer officially diagnose the car issues in June of 2017 and it was in fact a faulty clockspring. Again Volkswagen refused to cover the repair cost of over $1000. 00. This part has been recalled on numerous Volkswagen models. The car was stationary when it happened. I turned it on one morning to find the horn not working, controllers on the steering wheel and airbag light on.
