First, the airbag warning light came on, then followed by the horn not working and cruise control was lost. I also suspecting the power steering is also gone. This is related to the clock spring failure from my research online. This should have been recall because this is a safety hazard.
The contact owns a 2016 volkswagon Golf. While driving various speeds, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration while being operated in second and third gears. The contact indicated that the vehicle's speed would increase by approximately 35 mph without depressing the accelerator pedal. The failure was intermittent and would often occur after the vehicle had not been driven for several hours. The vehicle was taken to several dealers who indicated that the issue was a characteristic of the vehicle and no failure was found. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.
On manual transmission vehicles cruise control does not deactivate when depressing clutch, changing gear. Once clutch is released cruise automatically re engages. This is a huge safety liability. VW calls it a new feature, this feature has caused a few near misses.. this feature will eventually cause an accident I've been driving manual transmission cars for over 20 years and every time the clutch is depressed cruise turns off and will only re-engage once the button is depressed.
