Airbag clockspring broke again after volkwagen replaced it. Now getting charged a second time for the clockspring that a volkwagen dealership replaced less than a year ago. It has only been 25,000 miles since we paid the $500 to get it replaced the first time, since my VIN number was skipped in the recall. All I was doing to cause the clockspring to break was turning into my drive.

Airbag cover is separating from the center of the steering wheel and the horn randomly goes off. Consulted with local auto parts store and was advised that the vehicle is not safe to drive because airbag could go off at any time. Volkswagen states that because VIN is not included in takata recall that they will not consider any action. Vehicle horn has activated both while stationary and while vehicle was on roadway.

1.faulty clock spring resulting in no working horn or airbag 2. call stalls and won't start intermittently. Dealer can't find issues but I think it's related to the faulty fuel pump recall

Takata recall- had the recall fixed. Clock spring is broken again- airbag light is back on and steering wheel controls are no longer working. VW says "tough luck" it's not covered a second time even though this fix didn't even last a year. Car is currently in the shop for a host of other issues surrounding the emissions recall and sensors that aren't working yet again.

Clockspring went bad, no airbags or horn. I was driving while this happened.

The clockspring in my steering wheel has failed and a warning message is displayed when starting the car and also the airbag warning light remains on. In addition, due to the clockspring failure the steering wheel mounting controls do not work. I am concerned about the safety of this airbag situation. I did contact Volkswagen group of America and the have communicated that they would not repair the vehicle as it is not under warranty or part of a recall (case number 180447041). I did learn that there was a similar recall for the same make, model vehicle that I have (recall # 15V-483), however, my specific vehicle serial number is not included. All indications show that this is a known issue and defect and I would expect this should be fixed do to the history and risk of this issue with the clockspring/airbag.

The airbag light has come on, horn no longer works and the controls on the steering wheel do not work. From what I can tell it is a failure of the clock spring. Took it into dealer for recall on vehicle and was told they do not have the parts or instructions yet to fix it.

Takata recall, I verified there was a recall April of 2017 and immediately I called my VW dealer to schedule the maintenance. I was put on a wait list. I called back September 2017 and was advised that I was 10th down on the list and that they were waiting for the parts. I called back again 03/16/2018 and was advised I was still on the list and that they just ordered parts, there was a 4 day wait to get them, and then they work from the top of the list down. It's been over 2 years since the recall was issued and I have yet to receive service. I drive my vehicle daily to and from work, school, and daycare with my children. To this date I have not had an accident involving my airbags.

The horn, airbag on drivers side, and bluetooth. All the components in the steering wheel stopped working. The airbag light came on in the dashboard, and the rest stopped working after a few days of light clicking noise from the steering wheel when turning. I had to take it for repair 3/13/18.

Takata inflator replaced, 2 months later, while driving, and turning the corner at low speed, on a city street, into my subdivision at approximately 3-5 miles per hour, during a snow storm. The air bag light illuminates, hear crunching sound coming from steering column, immediately following, I have no horn or steering wheel control buttons. I now hear the same crunching sound coming from the steering column every time I turn the wheel. Called dealer, advised it sounds like the clock switch which commonly fails and would cost around $900 to repair and was not under warranty, since I had 40K at the time of incident. I was advised that my air bag will not work without repair.

I am a dod civilian posted overseas in South Korea. I took my vehicle into get serviced at the Volkswagen service station in seongnam (autoplatz bundang, seoul, South Korea with a copy of my recall and I even translated what needed serviced. They even had the guarantee to service recall advertisement posted on their desk. However, they told me that they are unable to replace my takota air bags, despite the recall. They said they had issues with importing the airbags and were unable to service my vehicle at that time. They told me call back in March and check back then to see if they had any airbags then. However, I am due to ship my vehicle in February and will move back to the us in March 2018. I complained and said that I will report them as a certified VW service station that is refusing to service my recall. They apologized and said sorry that they could not replace my airbags at that time and I'd have to call back later. I asked if I could schedule a time to come back to do it then, once they had airbags, and they said no. That I would just have to keep calling to check.

The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Passat. While driving approximately 20 mph, another vehicle drifted into the contact's lane. As a result, the contact crashed into a cement divider. The air bags deployed and a white, powdery substance flew into the eyes of the contact and his wife, followed by metal fragments. The contact also stated that the passenger side air bag caught fire. The contact extinguished the fire. The contact's wife sustained injuries to the hip and stomach, which did not require medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a body shop where it was diagnosed that a new transmission, front driver's side wheel arm, and air bag needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was then taken to joe machens Volkswagen (1200 vandiver dr, columbia, mo 65202, (855) 301-6700), but the nature of the diagnostic and repairs could not be provided.

I was turning right at a speed of 30 when I heard a loud pop sound and the air bag light went on and all components on steering wheel stopped working. The horn does not work either. I brought car to VW dealer the same day and they ran a diagnostic test and said I need a new clockspring. I have heard many Passats have this issue but my cars VIN was not on the recall list. It's a safety hazard. Now I have a car with a broken clockspring. Amongst many other VW owners. Please help

Takata recall I received a notice about the recall last year and contacted the nearest VW dealership in redwood city (www.boardwalkvolkswagen.com) on 12/11/17. They told me they'd put me on a waitlist for the replacement parts. I've called every week since then to see if the parts have finally arrived but it's been over a month now (1/15/18) and there's still no updates or concrete timeline for fixing the issue.

I have a 2014 VW Passat-car went in for a recall for airbags. (VW is saying that it is not takata recall) at the time my car was taken in, there were no problems with it. Had the recall completed and maybe weeks later my clock spring goes out (took a right turn, heard a click, and the "seatbelt airbag malfunction" light turned on) all the controls on my steering wheel go out, including the horn. I take it it to VW in scottsdale shortly after this happened and they told me that it is not related, not covered, and that my car was not part of the takata recall..(on their website it states 2012-2014 Passat included in the reacall) the service manager I spoke with said that he has never heard of the clock spring going out on its own. Little fishy how nothing is wrong with my car, I get the recall done, and weeks after my clock spring goes out (which is related to the airbag!) and told me it would be about $875 to fix! my car has only 58,000 miles on it.
