Tiguan

  • 48,500 miles
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.
