I was turning and a crack sound came from the steering wheel, turning the car caused the clock spring to break. Airbag light came on, horn doesn't work, no controls on steering wheel work. Known issue but they stopped recalls at 2014 models but should still havr recalls for later years, same issue.
While slowly turning left to park at a gas station I heard a "snap" and found that my airbag light came on and none of the controls on my steering wheel were working. Afterwards I noticed a consistent clicking noise whenever I would turn the wheel. After researching I am confident that this is an issue with the ribbon wire leading down the steering column from the clock spring. Many other Volkswagen models are having the same issue and recalled for this problem. Mine has not yet been recalled and this is a safety issue. This is a 2015 model that I purchased in March of 2018 and the issue occurred 6 months after I purchased the vehicle.
My vehicle only has 42000 miles on it. 6000 miles over warranty. As I was turning I heard a rattling and the airbag light came on, horn doesn't work and steering wheel buttons do not work. Dealership said it's the steering wheel clock spring in the steering wheel. Same issue as 2010-2014 recalls. The part is defected and dealership refuses to pay for it. If I wreck the airbag will not work.
