Clockspring went bad on a 5 year old vehicle. Air bag light is on, horn and steering wheel controls dont work.
The ignition key lock-in and the engine can't be turn off, we have to switch front and back the eye several times before able to turn off the engine and to unlock the key. Rubber melted closed to each side on the body between the tires and the front doors the left side of cabin next to the passages door open unexpectedly
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...
Driving down highway car pulls to the right. Steering is out of line even with alignment adjustments. Car is all over the road. Difficult to drive staright without swerving. Dangerous going around corners. Vehicle had been diagnosed several times. No warranty repairs were made due to costs.
The vehicle was in a major car accident before I purchased the vehicle and the carfax states that the car was involved in am accident with another vehicle which caused severe front damage reported. Multiple airbags deployed. The sub rail frame has been welded together by someone that did not appear to know what they were doing and now the entire frame is cracked again.
