I purchased my 2010 VW Cc used in May 11, 2013 at 35,000 miles--it had two previous owners. Ever since that time, the steering wheel clock spring has been making a chafing noise whenever the steering wheel is turned. More recently, the noise has become louder, and I hope that the ribbon cable within it will not tear and cause an airbag deployment when not in an accident, or a non-deployment when in an accident. I have not bothered to take it to a VW dealer due to the car being out of the 3-year/36,000 warranty and due to excessive prices charged by dealerships. Luckily, the airbag warning light has not yet illuminated. I received a recall notice indicating that a remedy is not yet available. This is unacceptable. The notice also mentioned that hair and/or fibers are to blame--I don't see this as being possible, as hair would rarely fall that far forward of the driver's head, and the previous two owners and I are males with short-cut hair.
