2014 Volkswagen Jetta GLI. Part number 5K0953569AL air bag clock spring failed leaving air bag and horn unusable. Dealerships say this is the most back ordered Volkswagen part. Many wait lists have several thousand people waiting with no end in sight. No one can provide a ship date. These cars cannot legally be on the road and cannot be sold back to a dealership because they won-€™t pass inspection. This part has been involved in a recall previously with the same issues, but not all affected cars are covered under the recall. I am personally unable to find a solution and my car has been unusable and unsafe. When I realized how normal and not unique my exact situation was, I felt the need to report this problem on behalf of the tens of thousands of people who are without safe vehicles, including myself. I am hoping that the recall can be extended to these other cars desk with the exact same clock spring issues so that we can be provided with solutions that can get our cars back on the road safely. Thank you for your time.

Air bags failed to deploy on my 2014 volkswagen jetta. I hit a Guardrail head on at 50-60 mph pushing it 8 feet back. I sustained a large laceration on my forehead eventually needing 6 staples and 6 stitches to close it up. My passenger got abbrastions to her head from hitting the window. Which is now cracked and broken throughout. The air bag light came on my dashboard but no air bags were ever deployed. Having just bought this vehicle 6 months ago from a dealership and them verifying that everything was in working order has me wondering what to do about this? $18,000 for a trip to the E.R that night. Needless to say I'm pretty disappointed and know that if the airbags would have properly went off it would have made things Alot easier!!

Every single light on the dash is turned on even though there's no problem, and the speedometer meter doesn't move. I got the issue fixed by an independent mechanic who said the computer only needed to be reset, but the VW dealership insists that I still have a big issue that can effect the usage of my brakes, airbags, everything, and wants to charge me $3500 for a non-problem. Since the sensors are all on, I don't know when to fill up oil or gas, and I won't be alerted if I have a flat tire or there's an issue with the engine. They also mentioned that since the sensors are dead it may not deploy my airbag system. I've been told it's not worth fixing, my car only has 49,537 miles and is in good condition; this is absurd.

If I drive with the car the brake-warning light, ABS light and airbag light turns on. It alarms. I brought it to dealer and they asked germany but they couldn't figure out what wrong is. I am afraid to drive with these lights. They reset the computer but it happens after 20 miles again.

I was in a car accident that caused significant damage but the air bags did not deploy. My estimation is the driver who hit me was going 40-45 mph.

Airbag light came on and steering wheel controls stopped working immediately after signal presented.

- Fort Walton Beach, FL, USA

A few weeks ago, I reversed (at an angle) into a parking spot and the steering wheel started making a clicking sound. The sound ensued when making any turns with the vehicle. One day, while parking, the steering wheel clicked and there was a snap sound. Upon re-entering my vehicle, the airbag error light came on and all steering-mounted controls were disabled. After further research, this issue is related the to the clock spring issue (recall) for Volkswagen vehicles. However, the model and year (Jetta hybrid, 2014) of my car is not listed under the recall list. I have spoken with my local VW dealer, and they have basically told me the issue is not covered under the clock spring extended warranted VW issued.

Driver airbag light illuminated on dashboard while car was in motion on highway in pouring rain weather. Car horn is also currently not working/able to be used in event of emergency or warning. Airbag light would come on for about 6 seconds and then go off repeatedly then finally stayed on for good. Appears to be a clock spring issue from research that may not have been initially covered and completed in 2015 manufacturer recall. VIN is also not included in current takata airbag recall either.... no previous issues to note prior to symptoms beginning...

Stationary, in motion, and when turning--airbag light is on, horn doesn't work, cruise control switch doesn't work and steering wheel buttons do not work. Purchased this vehicle from a Toyota dealership two months ago--with only 30K miles. At 34K miles when this problem occurred.
