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.
Despite a 2015 recall, 2016 Golfs are still being affected by faulty clock spring setups and a lack of some type of cover that is preventing debris from getting inside and breaking them. While driving the car, the airbag warning light went on. I then noticed that none of the control features on the steering wheel worked.. no cruise control, not horn, no system data, etc. Upon further investigation I discovered that the clock spring was the reason for the problem and that this has been an ongoing problem that VW has known about since 2011. Only after an investigation was VW forced into doing a recall in 2015. The problem obviously still exists since there are a number of continued complaints still being filed.
Steering power assist "twitches" while car is in motion. Happens at random times, speeds and steering conditions while driving....enough to jerk the car into the next lane. Might be tied to VW's dsr or dynamic steering recommendation setting in the vehicle computer.
