2014 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. Part number 5K0953569AL air bag clock spring failed leaving air bag and horn unusable. Dealerships say this is the most back ordered Volkswagen part. Many wait lists have several thousand people waiting with no end in sight. No one can provide a ship date. These cars cannot legally be on the road and cannot be sold back to a dealership because they won-??t pass inspection. This part has been involved in a recall previously with the same issues, but not all affected cars are covered under the recall. I am personally unable to find a solution and my car has been unusable and unsafe. When I realized how normal and not unique my exact situation was, I felt the need to report this problem on behalf of the tens of thousands of people who are without safe vehicles, including myself. I am hoping that the recall can be extended to these other cars desk with the exact same clock spring issues so that we can be provided with solutions that can get our cars back on the road safely. Thank you for your time.

Purchase (2 ) 2014 VW Jetta. The ignition cilinder stop working 6 months after buying the car. After numerous times at the dealer with the second Jetta and telling them something is wrong. The dealer kept on telling me their is no recall and I would have to replace it at my expense. This is a common problem since looking at this matter on the net.. at times this key problem is a hassard because it can make the electronics of the car fail. Does some have to die for this to be a recall and protect the consumers? please look into the matter and make VW own up to what is the right thing to keep people on the road and not six foot under. Key stop working while car is running, electronic frailer, you can turn keys to any position, can turn the car on, I was on vacation on a ferry and could not move the car cb the key could not be turned for anything.

A few weeks ago, I reversed (at an angle) into a parking spot and the steering wheel started making a clicking sound. The sound ensued when making any turns with the vehicle. One day, while parking, the steering wheel clicked and there was a snap sound. Upon re-entering my vehicle, the airbag error light came on and all steering-mounted controls were disabled. After further research, this issue is related the to the clock spring issue (recall) for Volkswagen vehicles. However, the model and year (Jetta hybrid, 2014) of my car is not listed under the recall list. I have spoken with my local VW dealer, and they have basically told me the issue is not covered under the clock spring extended warranted VW issued.

Driver airbag light illuminated on dashboard while car was in motion on highway in pouring rain weather. Car horn is also currently not working/able to be used in event of emergency or warning. Airbag light would come on for about 6 seconds and then go off repeatedly then finally stayed on for good. Appears to be a clock spring issue from research that may not have been initially covered and completed in 2015 manufacturer recall. VIN is also not included in current takata airbag recall either.... no previous issues to note prior to symptoms beginning...
