Speed Control Springs problem #1

My vehicle had a faulty clock spring in the steering column. This has been a problem for vw since 2011 and they are not covering it under warranty. It happened while driving. The steering column made a cracking noise then started making a grinding noise. At that point the steering button controls stopped working and the airbag light came on.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #2

Vehicle had been parked for several days. Upon pulling out of a parking space, heard a snapping noise from the steering wheel. Immediately received an airbag error warning, horn ceased to function, and all steering wheel controls stopped working.

Cruise Control problem #3

While driving at any speed, decreasing the set speed using cruise control multiple times in succession led to an increase in the set speed.
