Description of the problem | I was driving my 2015 vw passat (in excellent condition) i was pulling into a parking space slowly and as i turned the steering wheel i heard a crumpling noise that sounded like it was coming from my steering column. I stopped immediate and suddenly the dash board read "airbag error". I proceeded into the parking space slowly, turned the car off and called my vw dealer. We set an appointment to have it looked at. After about 10 miles of drive time on my way home, all of my other steering wheel components (raido, dash controller, voice controller, had all stopped working. When i got home i did my research and have discovered the airbag error along with the other steering components failing.. Is very common in 2015 passats! I feel this needs to be addressed as a safety recall. What ever is causing the airbag to become malfunctioned needs to be addressed. I have made an appointment with my vw service department. They want $145. 00 to take it apart and assess what went wrong. Will keep you posted. |
