2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Clock spring failed at 52,000 miles--affecting both the airbag and horn. Vw refused to reimburse me for the repair, despite their clock spring recall on multiple vw models, that was initiated by the federal safety agency investigation.
The display screen says error: airbag, then it says error: transmission. All the bottons on the streeing wheel do not work curse control, bottons for changing the display to see info about the car, and radio. The car was driving on city streets when the messages first where noticed. I think it has something to do with inside the steering wheel and think it might be the clock spring. The fact that it is saying error: airbag, I am concerned that the airbag will not work, or might just go off for no reason.
Loud snapping sound while turning, airbag warning light illuminated, lost all electrical functions of steering wheel, including horn & airbag. Vehicle was in motion. Had vehicle examined, codes pulled, determined it was failure of the clock spring mechanism.
