Exterior Lighting · at 33,872 miles · reported Apr 21, 2019
When I was driving I parked got something to eat and when I got back in the car I heard this weird noise and I put it in reverse and the reverse lights wouldn't work
Structure · at 33,900 miles · reported Sep 24, 2018
Leaking panoramic sunroof causes moisture and mold on the interior of the vehicle. Happened in the rain when parked and driving.
Air Bags · at 39,200 miles · reported Jul 31, 2018
At 39k miles, while backing out of a parking spot, a clicking noise emitted from the steering column, then warning light came on for the airbag and transmission with the car's display saying not to drive it. Some research and testing reveal the problem is that the connection between the steering wheel (Including airbag, horn, and all controls mounted there) and the car has been severed. A part called the 'clock spring' has failed under normal use. This issue has occurred on thousands of similar vws and the NHTSA has or had an investigation into this very issue, but only 2010-2014 model year…
Air Bags · at 53,000 miles · reported Jul 26, 2018
While the car was in motion, all electrical component buttons connected to the steering wheel, including the horn stopped working and the air bag sensor light went on , along with transmission sensor error. I took the car to the dealer and they identified the clockspring in the steering column needed to be replaced.
Seat Belts · at 48,000 miles · reported Dec 4, 2017
I own a 2015 and my back seatbelt has failed. It will not latch. I called the dealership and they stated it would be $120 charge just to diagnose and see what is wrong before replacing or fixing the seatbelt. After that charge he couldn't say if it would be under warranty or the cost to fix it. I AM notifying you of this failure and cost because this seems like something that should be evaluated for no cost due to the high concern for safety. I feel volkswagen is putting money before safety. The dealership I contacted was larry miller in lakewood co.
