Both rear coil springs failed. One broke at the top and bottom and one broke at the bottom. The incident date is the date that it was found. I don’t know how long they have been this way.

The clock spring fails. Causing the airbag light to illuminate. The car is a 2015 and the first clock spring failed in January 2021, with around 155,00 miles (estimate). Second one failed this week with 162,000 miles. I know the car is old, but the part that gets power to the airbag should last more than 2 years. Volkswagen extended the warranty of the part, but we were outside for both repairs now. The dealer tells me this part is fixed on a regular basis to the point he was surprised he was able to get the part. I feel like for the part that supplies power to the airbag, an extended warranty is not sufficient. (For the information below, I was in a parking lot when the clock spring broke, so speed was irrelevant, np accident occurred)

The contact owns a 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen. The contact stated that upon parking the vehicle, the tire pressure warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the rear end of the vehicle was very low. Additionally, her children informed her that their buttocks hurt whenever the vehicle would hit a bump while driving. The contact was able to continue to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the failure as a bilateral rear coil spring fracture. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 19V188000 (Suspension). The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

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.
