I called a place that specializes in vw and they suggested I call vw dealer instead because it was a safety issue and highly likely a recall. I called vw and they stated it was not a recall but part of an "extended warranty", which my car does not qualify for due to the miles on the car. After some research, it seems this is a very common issue with vw, and they are asking for $160 to simply diagnose the problem, even though it is clear to them what the issue is, and not new to them. It is not due to the age or mileage on the car, but a safety miss from their end.

Takata recall / clock spring, why is every other model in this year covered accept for the Tiguan? I am a single mom and can not afford this part.

There is no horn or airbag or steering controls. This is extremely dangerous. Please help me!.
Air bag recall - air bag light came on and steering wheel controls do not work including horn. Took car in and dealer showed there is a recall for this specific issue/model but not for my specific VIN.
Although vw has had recalls in multiple of its 2010-2014 vehicles with the exact same issue I'm having currently there is no recall on my 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan. I was parallel parking and I turned my wheel one way and heard a "tick-tick-tick" sound in the steering wheel column. When I turned the wheel the opposite way to finish parking it did not tick. After that I had no power in my steering wheel controls, alongside the airbag light turning on notifying me they were no longer working and my horn does not work when attempting to use while driving or inside the car. When outside the car and I hit the lock button the horn works notifying me it has been locked. I was nearly rammed into after another car tried merging into my lane and I wasn't able to honk my horn as warning to them. Considering the recent recalls from Volkswagen I don't believe this issue is something I should have to pay for when it is the exact same problem for which the current recalls have been issued.
Airbag light came on, being a vw dealer technician, scanned vehicle found faults for drivers airbag igniter above permissible limit, also noticed crunching noise when turning, uploaded my VIN to vw's online portal found no open recalls, while searching technical bulletins found recall 69l7 pertaining to my exact problem, all the faults and symptoms stated in the recall instructions were my exact problems. First I called vw customer care and there was nothing they can d because my VIN was not part of the recall, as working for a dealership I attempted to have it warrantied goodwill, I had a repair order made, and I diagnosed it to being a faulty clock spring. After log was uploaded to vw, my warranty administrator told me that the claim had been denied. This is a safety issue and the part to fix the vehicle is 300 dollars with me repairing it. My girlfriend drives the vehicle daily and has a 3 year old child. I will not let her drive the vehicle because the entire airbag system is off as well as not having a horn, this is a serious safety concern and vw refuses to claim responsibility and to warranty the repair when the issue is known in other vehicles.
