Feb 2018 vw replaced the airbags and clock spring. Approximately one year later, the airbag lights came on together with the abs and tire pressure lights. I have no power to the steering wheel, no horn etc. My steering is getting tighter and tighter to turn. I'm sure this poses some sort of a safety risk especially when this is the only vehicle I have. I wish vw would correctly identify the problem and issue a nationwide remedy to cure this defect. The sooner the better since vw has known about this since 2011. All of this happened overnight while my car was parked. I got into it to go to work and this is what happened. Please help your consumers to cure this defect and not put a band-aid on it.
