Tiguan

  • 60,000 miles
The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan. While driving approximately 40 mph, the clockspring malfunctioned. The failure caused the air bag warning indicator to illuminate and the steering wheel's gauge cluster became inoperative. The contact stated that a clicking noise was heard from the steering wheel while turning, and that the sound became increasingly worse with each turn. The contact, an independent mechanic, disassembled the steering wheel and found that the ribbon cable had fractured inside of the steering wheel's clockspring component. Winner Volkswagen (1387 North dupont hwy, dover, de, 19901) was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was out of warranty. The manufacturer was also made aware of the failure.
