Description of the problem | I was parked on flat ground while starting my car this morning and noticed the air bag light on the dash board stayed light. Then i noticed the stereo control on the steering wheel was not light and did not work. At work i did some research and found that it could be the clock spring. When i got home from work i tested my horn to find that my horn does not work. My vehicle has 47773 miles and i bought it new. I'm almost positive it is the clock spring after all the research i have done. I feel vw should extend the recall past 2014 because it seems obvious that the issue continued into 2015 models. |
