“My vehicle start with the problem at 33kmiles. Now I'm at 37kmiles and it's happening daily. After starting the vehicle and putting it on drive, the brake will not work properly and started making a screeching noise. All of the warning lights on the dashboard lit up, the message center shows error with airbag, ABS brake, vehicle stabilization...etc. I am afraid for my life, this vehicle is not safe to drive. I would stop and turn off the engine and restart the vehicle, sometimes that reset the lights and other times that does not help. …”

“Vehicle trunk light indicator shows that vehicle trunk is open. Intermittently turns off then comes back on. Trunk interior light stays on. This will drain car battery if light isn't unplugged leaving people stranded. This seems like it is a faulty design on behalf of Volkswagen. Volkswagen should perform an action and remedy for the vw CC owners affected by this problem.”

“The airbag light went off in the instrument cluster. I hear what sounds like a disconnected cable rubbing against the steering wheel whenever I try to make a turn. All buttons in the steering wheel are non functional after the incident. Really concerned if the airbag won’t deploy and cause fatal or deadly injuries in case of crash. I don’t feel safe driving it in this condition.”

NHTSA complaint #11462892, filed 2022-04

“The clockspring on my vehicle is out. I know this has been a MAJOR issue and recalls with my make and model of cars (Volkswagens). It is not fair that all models and makes are not included in the clockspring recall. This is a major safety issue with the airbag and horn not working.”
