Description of the problem | Recall notice #15v48300; date 08/04/2015; air bags; frontal i was backing the car out of my driveway turning my steering wheel when i heard something rattling around in the steering wheel and then i heard a "snap" or "pop" and then an air bag error alert was displayed on the information panel, the air bag light illuminated, and i lost the electronic controls on my steering wheel. The car is currently at the dealership and the quote to repair the issue is around $550. Unfortunately for me, my vin is not included in the recall notice 15v483000 for 2010-2014 passat sedans, so i am called vw to complain and hopefully they can do something to help with the cost of repairs since there are 2010-2014 passat sedans that are affected by the recall, just not mine. |
