While driving at any speed, decreasing the set speed using cruise control multiple times in succession led to an increase in the set speed.

Vehicle had been parked for several days. Upon pulling out of a parking space, heard a snapping noise from the steering wheel. Immediately received an airbag error warning, horn ceased to function, and all steering wheel controls stopped working.

My vehicle had a faulty clock spring in the steering column. This has been a problem for VW since 2011 and they are not covering it under warranty. It happened while driving. The steering column made a cracking noise then started making a grinding noise. At that point the steering button controls stopped working and the airbag light came on.
