Description of the problem | I completed safety recall (15v-483 ) back to 01/2016. However, i started to hear noise from the steering wheel when making turns. I went to a nearby dealership and found out that the noise is due to the clock spring. The dealer filed a claim with volkswagen and they rejected the claim since it was a month after completing the recall action and they only provide 2 years warranty for that. I did a research online and found that many people had the same problem even after completing the recall action. I saw that an investigation (rq 17-009) has been opened back to 11/2017. |
