Tl the contact owns a 2013 Volkswagen Touareg. The contact stated that the horn failed to work. The contact restarted the vehicle and the steering wheel malfunctioned. Baxter Volkswagen la vista (7108 s 124th cir, la vista, ne 68128, (402) 983-9801) stated that the air bag control module and assembly were corroded, which affected the steering wheel functions, air bags, and horn.

Continuous (orig. Report date 10/3/13) with two unsuccessful service attempts to date (10/12/13) of a reported steering wheel shimmy/shake [at highway speed between 60-65 mph]. This issue remains unchanged from the original report; as issue continues unaffected by road surfaces to incl. Other variables such pre-dawn, daytime and evening road conditions; weather and temperatures. Vehicle still demonstrates a difficulty in tracking straight across multiple lanes (removing any of road 'crown' influence). Had been able to duplicate after the first round of road force balance of all 4 tires (goodyear eagle l2 tires) and a 4 wheel alignment; again at speed between 60-65 mph. Issue has been recorded on video post this first attempted and failed repair.
Upon reaching speeds between 65 and approximately 75 miles per hour the steering wheel would noticeably shake back and forth very obviously, so much so that it worried me there was a major issue with the vehicle.
