2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen Air bags Problems

“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.”

“I have a 2015 vw Golf Sportwagen with about 47k miles. 9 months ago I had my clock spring go bad in my vehicle, which rendered my airbag to be disabled. The replacement was covered under the 3yr/36k mike warranty that comes with the car new (this is a tdi model, so the in-service date is may 2018 -car has approx. 32k miles on it at the time of repair). Today (march 2021), I had my clock spring go bad again, which disabled my airbag, again. Vw tells me that my model specifically isn't covered under an existing extended warranty that has been issued to resolve this problem. …”

“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.”

“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 NHTSA investigation.”

“I backed up my car and upon turning the wheel I heard some crackling from the steering wheel. The airbag and transmission error lights came on and I lost functionality of all the buttons on the steering wheel and the horn. Based on research, this is a clock spring that has been recalled for other model years.”
