Description of the problem | My steering wheel was affected, no horn, loss of air bags, locked trunk. Was diagnosed with clock spring problem (previously reported). These problems seemed to appear randomly and not all at once. Is under your forced recall, but was allowed to exclude certain vehicles??? Had to fix it for around $500. Not previously reported--on the way home--i no longer had a cruise control. Vw charged me $143. 50 just to diagnose it and tell me it would cost $720. 97 to replace it. I have already replaced the air bag. Also,last year my car started spontaneously locking and relockting my car while driving.. I took it to vw. They said it needed replacing (without diagnosis). They couldn't work me in so i left. The problem just disappeared ??? |
