Vehicle had been parked for several days. Upon pulling out of a parking space, heard a snapping noise from the steering wheel. Immediately received an airbag error warning, horn ceased to function, and all steering wheel controls stopped working.

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.

Safety issue! leased the vehicle in January. Two incidents when all vehicle lights turn off while driving in the dark. Happens when in motion and when it is dark or foggy out. Have brought in to Volkswagen dealer 2 times for repair and happened again for the third time while driving in the dark. When this occurs the wipers also go off automatically yet it is not raining. Then when the vehicle is parked, the headlights stay on and will not turn off and kills the battery.
