This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The Power Steering keeps failing while driving. It is available for inspection, ASAP. This is a very dangerous hazard to lose the ability to steer the vehicle at any speed. I have not taken to my mechanic, yet. I have read all sorts of problems with steering since the Takata Air Bag Replacement Recall. Ever since the AirBag Replacement, many of my warning lights have been illuminated. The Dealer told me it is due to the Sensors on my Tires. I see they were previously recalled and now I have a problem with them, too. Right before the Steering Fails, I hear a gone and the Red Steering Wheel Light illuminates. I am then forced to slowly get off the road, barely able to turn the wheel, turn off the vehicle and re-start the engine to get the Power Steering to Re-Set itself. It is happening more and more often. Just went to Doctor appt Friday and it happened five (5) times going to and from Doctor (14 mile round trip). I see Dealers are telling people it is a Clock Spring and they are charing up to $ 6,800. to repair. My car only has 56,000. miles on it !!!
I brought this car about 3months ago andrive one day ABS error so took to mechanic he hooked to machine say rear wheel driver side wheel sensor so got that changed then it gave more code say computer not communicating an also the other sensors out an tcs plus steering asst. So I went online to find out this is a common problem that VW can't even fix.but there still allowed to sale them with out a fix so now I have to guess if I have brakes or tcs an forgot the park brake has a code as well so will anybody fix this problem or do more people have to die in crash or waste money taken it to volkwagan an not get it fix to funny an lights on parked or drive can't clear codes thanks
I took my car to gunther Volkswagen of fort lauderdale 1660 S state rd 7, fort lauderdale, fl 33317 (954) 420-7374. They refused to change the takata airbag I was told that they could not connect their equipment. I was told that I need to pay for them to do diagnostics on my car. They wouldn't even check the problem without paying. I told them that I could not afford any repairs and this was a recall. They would not even look at my car without paying. So I have been driving with the same airbag. I cannot afford these repairs so there's nothing I can do about this airbag situation. I already called the Volkswagen of America and they are no help. If anything can be done I would greatly appreciated it.
Takata recali I asked boardwalk Volkswagen(1 bair island rd, redwood city, ca 94063) to help me to address takata recall. However, they just say they do not have related parts, and do not response me again. It seems that they won't help to address the takata recall, which is a very severe recall. I feel very disappointed about their responses.

There was a recall on the steering wheel clock spring on the Volkswagen Cc. Instead of replacing the clock spring in my car, there was a temporary 'rubber bamd' placed on the steering wheel clock. The following week, the entire steering wheel clock broke and the air bag light came on. I cannot use any of the functions on my steering wheel. The dealership claims that the problem was fixed according to the recall and it's nothing they can do about it.

Takata recall: Volkswagen claims to have fixed the clock spring and air bag in car however the air bag light is on and the clock spring is broken. I cannot use the horn or any buttons on the steering wheel. The electrical system does not work properly without the controls on the steering wheel.
VW clock spring recall investigation driving down the road at 35-40 mph and the car beeps with "error: Airbag" then the steering wheel made a weird noise. The horn and controls on the steering wheel are not working. I took it to the vic bailey VW dealership and they said it was the clock spring that needed to be replaced. I know there is an investigation into the previous recall and I believe that my car was affected but not included in the recall.
Stepping on the accelerator does not always product motion. Dangerous situation when more acceleration is needed such as on an entrance ramp or passing other vehicles or having to accelerate to avoid a crash. This has been a constant since we purchased this car (new) in 2012. The dealer service department told us this a sport vehicle and there is not a problem with the car as long as we accelerate harder. The recall parts are still not available according to VW of orland park il.
Takata recall - there are 3 recalls on my type of car. I have experience one of the serious symptoms of the recall. Please read all. Driver frontal airbag inflator could potentially rupture (due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute high humidity and temperature cycling). 2nd vehicle has had interruption of electrical power, which caused a drained battery and no start condition. [ on certain vehicles, there could be an interruption in electrical power to the fuel pump control module. This could result in the fuel pump running continuously, resulting in a drained battery and/or a no start condition, or cause a loss of motive power while the vehicle is in motion]3.air or other fibers may contaminate the airbag clock spring (a spiral wound, flat cable that keeps the airbag powered while the steering wheel is being turned). This contamination may tear the cable and result in a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal airbag
