Air Bag Light On problems of the 2012 Volkswagen Tiguan

My airbag lights are on. Both on the dashboard and on the screen. It says airbags: error.

In December 2015, an issue with the clock spring was repaired. The airbag light came on and the steering wheel functions ceased to work. This was not a vehicle under the recall, but the repair was covered under an extended warranty. Just this week, the part again failed, with a clicking sound from the steering wheel. Again, airbag light on with no controls on steering wheel working. The car nor part is no longer under warranty. The vehicle was being driven when this occurred.

There was no crash or physical damage to my vehicle, airbag system is malfunctioning. For about a week now, "error: airbag" message is shown up on dashboard and the airbag light has turned on. In addition to that, even I buckled up, when I make a right turn seat belt alarm is beeping and seat belt light has turned on while I am driving. I am concerning about this serious safety issue. I am driving my car everyday with potential threat of accident without airbags being deployed.

Clock spring in steering column broke when turning steering wheel. As a result, airbag light has illuminated, indicating an airbag fault. Airbag error also indicated on the dashboard information screen. In addition, all steering wheel buttons have stopped working. Upon researching, this has been a known issue, and also a recall item. In calling the local dealer, I was referred to vw of America for assistance. They looked into my VIN, snd informed me that my vehicle had already been in under recall to have the clock spring replaced (2016), and that they would not cover any further work related to this issue on my vehicle. It is my opinion that Volkswagen, under the original recall, replaced the clock spring with the same, or even a more inferior quality part. Thus leading to an unsafe condition, in an airbag system fault. This recall should be expanded to rectify any 'supposed" prior fixes the vw had done, as so many are having issues after having the recall work done.

I heard a loud clicking sound when turning my steering wheel and since then my airbag light has been on and my horn does not work on my vehicle. I saw the recall for the clock wheel spring in 2015 and they claim it has been fixed, but I have since seen further investigation as to whether or not vw actually fixed the problem. My car was stationary and I was attempting to turn out of a parking spot when this happened. I still hear clicking noises in the steering wheel sometimes when I turn.

Airbag malfunction preventing the horn from working in the steering wheel and indicator light on dash is lit .

Several months to a year after I had the clock spring replaced my car was parked at the airport for 4 days. When I got back the airbag light was on and the horn stopped working. I contacted my local dealer as well as vw America. I was told its no longer covered and it would be over $600 to repair it. I was also told by the dealership that an airbag recall would be coming so don't repair it as they will only reimburse you up to 50%. So here I wait for a recall its been 2 years. . . . . .

My car had two recalls and I brought it in as vw of America recommended and I did have oil change at the same time on 2/19/2016. I went on vacation and when I came back I notice the vehicle drove rougher then before this service. On Wednesday 03/02/2016, I was on the freeway and notice my car lost brake function, I try using emergency brake and try down shift nothing work. I feel bless that I manage to avoid two car accident and it would of been my fault. I manage to hit the curb to stop the vehicle. I shift my car to park and shut the engine right away. Lots of icons indicator was on (airbag, abs, engine. . . ) and I took a video of the dash. I then call my insurance had it towed back to the dealer service. Next morning I was told that it's going to cost me $3k+ to fix all the stuff they telling me the found and claim it has nothing to do with the recalls or oil changed they did, prior to service I had no problem with my vehicle. I have contacted vw America they said they would look into it and have called them a few time now and nothing word on what they going to do about it. I don't feel safe to get back in my vehicle and also not sure they ensure my vehicle is safe to operate plus they asking for $3k+ to address something clearing defective.

The car was totaled in a front end collision with three passengersand none of the airbags deployed. To our knowledge, there was no indicator light showing airbag dysfunction prior to the crash. The information that vw provided about the airbag recall seems incomplete and to understate the seriousness of the issue.
