Description of the problem | Clock spring recall. Was fixed in 2016 but is again broken and vw refuses to reimburse the dealer or cover the cost of the repair. Due to this recalled part not being repaired properly, my airbag light is on, i do not have a horn, cruise control, not have the ability to use my steering wheel controls. This, i feel is also relevant to the airbag recall. I cannot sell my car with this issue, nor do i have the $ to fix it. It is dangerous to drive it, as it already has an airbag not working, the airbag light on and no horn. I have contacted both the dealership and vw and they refuse to cover the cost of this recalled part. |
