general problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan

Clock spring broken when my wife turned her steering wheel leaving a parking lot. Airbags no longer work, along with anything electronic within steering wheel.

Clock spring in steering wheel is broken. Driver airbag is non-functional, as are the controls on the steering wheel. No driver air bag is a huge safety issue! we immediately "scheduled" an appointment to have this issue repaired. At the appointment, a vw dealer (vw castle downers grove IL) confirmed the issue and noted that this was the subject of a recall (15v483000) with an ongoing & perpetual duty to repair. Despite the recall, the dealer does not have the parts, nor can they provide a date when they might be available (they are "backordered"). We checked with another dealer, and this seems to be a common problem. Also, we did a thorough search online to assess the situation with other drivers/vehicles - this is a common issue! someone (either the dealer or vw) is dragging their feet on this mandatory, potentially life-threatening issue & repair. When will the NHTSA kick vw (or the dealer) in the butt?.

I was turning into a parking spot and heard a loud “snap” coming from my wheel. The “error: airbag” light came on and all electrical on my wheel stopped working. And the horn does not work. I googled it and my year and model has a recall for the clock spring. It says my airbag will not deploy. I have no way to change the computer screen. So I can’t digitally see my speed and I can’t update my tire pressure amongst other things.

Airbag light came on. At the same time we lost all of our steering wheel controls as well as our horn. Some vehicles are covered by a recall but supposedly this yr and model isn't covered for some reason.

Turned the steering wheel, heard a popping noise and then an airbag error appeared. The horn no longer works either. Assumed to be the known clock spring issue for this year/make/model.

This is the second time my Volkswagen Tiguan's spring clock has broken. As a result I have lost access to my airbags and horn. I also can't contact my driver electrical from the steering wheel. I am being told there is no way of knowing when the dealership may be able to get the part. I will be driving in an extremely unsafe care with my one-year old son. This is terrifying.

Airbag and horn doesn't work the clock spring is out there is a recall on other 2014 Volkswagen Tiguans but not this one. It's unsafe to drive with these conditions. The airbag error went off when I started the car.

Unable to complete vehicle inspection . Horn does not work, some electronics malfunction, airbags light is on. Cannot use dashboard related functions I. E. Adjust tire pressure settings, gas tank door lock malfunctions, hands free communication malfunction. This is the 2nd time in a year that the clock spring failed. The manufacturer is not being able to provide the parts due to conflict area manufacturing, perhaps its time to relocate manufacturing. It's been 3 1/2 month and still no eta on parts. Perhaps it's a poorly designed part. Maybe back to the drawing board. I understand the malfunction can set off airbag without a collision.

Clock spring failed in the steering wheel after having the part replaced 2 years ago under a vw warranty. Now that the clock spring failed a second I am told that there is no eta to get the vehicle fixed and there are over 10k people waiting for the part needed to fix the vehicle. The wait is likely over 9 months. With a failed clock spring the airbags do not work. The horn also doesn't work. 2 key safety features are no longer working in my vehicle because of a manufactures defect that is highly known. Vw taking no responsibility and will not expedite parts replacement or offer an alternate vehicle. Because of vw a vehicle that would fail a safety inspection in most states will be on the road. They are not offering a loaner vehicle and are instead allowing cars to be on the road without horns and airbags. This should be a recall and vw should have to pay for damaged vehicles that are unsafe to drive.

When turning the car, I heard a sound in the steering wheel and then lost functioning of the horn and all other steering wheel controls and buttons; the air bag light also came on - indicating the driver's side airbag is not functioning. Based on research believe it is identical problem others that have reported with defective steering wheel clock spring. Cannot find evidence that this vehicle was subject to or repaired under the previous recall on this issue. 1) it is available for inspection 2) safety risk because driver side airbag is now malfunctioning 3) not inspected by dealer or service center yet 4) not inspected by any others 5) no, no other warning lamps, message or symptoms appeared prior to the failure - airbag malfunction light went on at the same time the car lost other electrical functioning in the steering wheel. Unable to view any other messages because button to toggle through info system on dash is not working as well.

One day I noticed that my horn wasn't working. Then a few days later I noticed that I couldn't connect to my phone from the steering wheel. The the airbag light came on. Garage said it is malfunctioning of electrical parts in the steering wheel column.

The clock spring in my vehicle went out. There is a backorder of upwards of 1 yr for part to replace. Vw stated its a known issue. Until the clock spring gets fixed, I have no drivers side airbag, no horn, all lights on dash are on. With them all on, I am not alerted to any issues that may be occurring with any system in my vehicle.

Took car to dealer for air bag light on, no controls in steering wheel worked. Including radio control, tire pressure reset, inspection reset and oil change reset. Faulty clock spring diagnosed. Clock spring was not replaced at date of invoice ,and still waiting on part as of 03/11/2022. Vw number one back ordered part. With no air bag in steering wheel is a safety concern.

Power to the airbag has failed, making the vehicle unsafe to operate. Airbag warning light has been activated. See vw dealers statement of fact with remarks.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 vw Tiguan r-line 2. 0t 4motion. The contact stated while the vehicle was in the stand still the contact approached vehicle and saw his belonging all over the place. The contact attempted to closed all door when the rear passenger side continue to be unlock. The contact attempted with the remote without getting a result, with the inside of the door can lock with override switch but its for temporary used. The contact stated no warn light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to local dealer dick hannah vw of portland located at 12345 e burnside st, portland, or 97233 where it was diagnosed with needing to be replaced locking mechanism. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Clock spring broken, VIN not covered in recall.

The clock spring in the steering column deteriorated and became nonfunctional in a car that is only 3 years old and with only 17000 miles on it. This is not an old car, to spend about $800 to repair a part that is still this new is ridiculous. There are past and current investigations into this exact part with many models, including variations of our own.

Tl-the contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan. The contact stated that every time the vehicle is engaged into reverse the rear back up camera is very dark, therefore limiting the ability to see. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the diagnosis was that the rear back up camera is fine and that a number of customers had come up with the same complaint. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000. Bp.

On April 15, 2014, I was at a gas station waiting to pull into an available pump with the car in drive. The car's engine suddenly shut off completely and the battery light signaled. I was able to put the car in park, turn the key to the off position, and restart the engine. As soon as I restarted the engine, the check engine symbol was illuminated. I drove home after filling up on gas. The following morning, April 16, 2014, I called open road Volkswagen of manhattan and scheduled a service appointment for Monday, April 21, 2014. For the remainder of that week, until Sunday, the car did not shut off and the check engine light was illuminated the majority of the time. There were times when I would drive and the check engine light would not be illuminated. On Sunday, April 20, 2014, I was driving on the ramp to get on the fdr drive from the brooklyn bridge, going approximately 20-40 mph, and the engine shut off completely. In the middle of highway traffic, I was forced to place the car in park, turn on my hazard lights, turn the key to the off position, and restart the engine. During the course of driving to an emergency shoulder, as this was an extremely dangerous situation, the car's engine once again turned off completely while I was driving. After making it to an emergency shoulder area, I contacted Volkswagen roadside assistance and the car was eventually towed. Today, April 21, 2014, I spoke with a service representative at open road Volkswagen of manhattan and was told that the check engine symbol of the vehicle is not on (as I mentioned earlier, sometimes it was on for me and sometimes not) and that the car did not have an issue when driven around the block. Therefore, the service representative is going to take the car for an extended period to see if the issue reproduces. Of course, this is an incredibly dangerous issue and should be fixed.
