Air Bag Light On problems of the 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan

Steering wheel made clicking noise, suddenly the airbag light came on and no steering wheel controls would work while driving down the highway. Looked up that it could be the recall on the clock spring stating debris could get into the area and cause a failure. Spoke with vw of America, states the vehicle is only covered up to 120,000 (my mileage at time of call to vw was 135k). Given this is a known issue for these vehicles and the investigation even needed to be re-opened in 2018, you think the company would care about the safety of their customers as I am now driving a vehicle with an airbag that won't deploy upon impact (possibly fatal).

I was driving my Volkswagen 2013 Tiguan down I-95 with my toddler daughter n the car when all of a sudden the steering wheel jerked very hard almost crashing us into another car. When I pulled over to safety the steering wheel light was on the dash lighting up along with a light that says epc. I did not feel safe driving the vehicle so I called a tow to come pick us up. About a few weeks later I was told my Volkswagen that they did not see the problem after coming there multiple times and having to pay the diagnostic fee each time that there was no issue because the light will go on and off. I told it to another shop where I paid 1,200 to replace the whole steering wheel. After that was fixed another problem just pops up out of the blue which is the airbag light. My horn no longer is working nor is my cruise control which is dangerous. So I can no longer drive this car with my children inside because I do not feel safe.

Had the clock spring break on our 2013 vw Tiguan - made a grindingish noise when making a standard turn and the airbag light came up on the dashboard. Steering wheel electronics (horn and controls) stopped working.

Tl - the contact owns a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan. The contact stated that after she got the battery replaced at the dealer (ancira Volkswagen san antonio 6125 bandera rd, san antonio TX 78238) the air bags warning indicator illuminated and the horn does not work. The contact stated her vehicle exhibited the same symptoms at NHTSA campaign number: 15v483000 (air bags). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. It is unknown if the manufacturer was notified of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000. Jc.

Clockspring in the steering column has failed causing air bag light to come on and on one instance the blinkers did not work. A minor cracking first was heard in vehicle during turning. Eventually a turn was made and the airbag light came on and no controls on the steering wheel worked.

My steering wheel clicks while turning, air bag light is on, horn and steering controls don't work. I contacted the dealership who told me this was a common issue and the recall to fix it had been done in 2015 by the previous owner. I was told I would have to pay to fix it this time. So vw gets to claim to fix the problem by supposedly putting a new clock spring in, that fails in the same time frame as the previous defective clock spring. This is ridiculous. Will never buy a vw again.

Airbag light came on. It was the exact issue described in vw recall notice recall number 15v483000 recall date 08/04/2015 component air bags:frontal the recall notice said ifthe airbag light is on and the steering wheel clock spring requires replacement, dealers will install a new steering wheel clock spring. In March of 2016 vw said they performed the recall work by cleaning the clock spring, not replacing it. The issue for me is vw should have replaced the clock spring as described in the recall notice.

The electronics in the steering wheel started going out, finally nothing on the steering wheel to do with electronics will work, no airbag no horn no cruise control no stereo buttons no other controls this problem is related to the clock spring, and so I took it to a dealer . The dealer said it had already had the recall done , they put a cover over the electronic clock spring, they said back when that this would fix the problem , well it doesn't fix the problem , it may delay it , until the car is out of warranty . My daughter drives this car, without an airbag now because vw and pignataro vw refuse to properly deal wit the problem. The cover does not work , the clock spring will break , and the airbag light will come on . Leaving the occupant open to injury or death in head on collition. This is a sham that the company will not fix the problem . They said it had been fixed so they are no longer liable . It is not fixed !!!! people are going to , or are dying because of this !!!.

One day I was driving and heard this clicking noise in my steering wheel whenever I turned. It progressively got worse throughout the day and about 4 hours later from when I initially heard it, my airbag light came on. I called my dealership and they told me it was my clock spring and that there was a recall for this a few years ago however my VIN was not one that was noted under that recall. I have no power to my steering wheel touch controls and my horn does not work which has been very scary as I have no way to alert those around me when they swerve into my lane-which has happened multiple times.

In 2015 there was a recall for clock springs in the 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan which I own and other of their vehicles. My previous owner got it replaced then and I bought the car in 2016. I heard a clicking noise and then my airbag light came on and the controls on the steering wheels stopped working and my horn stopped working also. Being that my car has $46000 miles and I have extended 100,000 mile warranty. . . I went to vw to complain as clearly this recall didn't do anything because it hasn't been even that long for it to be breaking again. They denied to cover it because it had been fixed previously when the recall happened. This clearly is an issue that wasn't resolved with the recall as I googled what this was when I first heard the noise and there are sooooo many people complaining of the same issue after it was fixed the first time around. This is a $500 job that I'm going to have to pay now and it's frustrating because I truly feel this is a defect in the car and should be covered.

My airbag light come up and my horn is not working.

Not sure if this involves the takata recall or not. While was executing a righthand turn on a city street, I heard a snap/click from inside the steering wheel. Immediately, the airbag light turned on and I discovered the next day that the horn and steering wheel controls had stopped functioning. After doing some research, I discovered that 2013 Tiguans were included in the steering wheel clock spring recall in 2015, so I checked to see if my car's VIN was included. It wasn't, so I reached out to vw customer care and told them that my car was exhibiting the same issues that were outlined in the recall notice. They initially told me that my vehicle wasn't included because it didn't receive the faulty factory parts, then later changed their story to say that my vehicle already had been repaired in response to the recall. When I explained that the repair hadn't prevented the safety hazards, they told me that the recall repair is out of warranty so I would need to pay for the repair myself.

Our Volkswagen Tiguan 2013 was recalled last year for a faulty airbag clock spring which, if it went out, caused a loss of the drivers front airbag and also use of the horn. Our airbag and horn fully went out at that time, and we took the car in and had the clock spring replaced under the recall. Now, just more than a year later, the exact same thing has happened -- the airbag light has come on indicating that the airbags are out, the horn does not work nor do any of the electric controls on the steering wheel. We called our local vw dealer in stamford CT about this-- they have said they will charge us for a diagnostic and the repair since the car is currently not recalled, even though this is the exact same problem that was addressed under the recall last year. In addition, the first available appointment they are offering us is 30 Aug -- two and a half weeks from today. They have said we could also bring the car in now, but that it will take them a week or more to get to it.
