The display screen says error: airbag, then it says error: transmission. All the bottons on the streeing wheel do not work curse control, bottons for changing the display to see info about the car, and radio. The car was driving on city streets when the messages first where noticed. I think it has something to do with inside the steering wheel and think it might be the clock spring. The fact that it is saying error: airbag, i am concerned that the airbag will not work, or might just go off for no reason.
I have a 2015 vw golf sportwagen with about 47k miles. 9 months ago i had my clock spring go bad in my vehicle, which rendered my airbag to be disabled. The replacement was covered under the 3yr/36k mike warranty that comes with the car new (this is a tdi model, so the in-service date is may 2018 -car has approx. 32k miles on it at the time of repair). Today (march 2021), i had my clock spring go bad again, which disabled my airbag, again. Vw tells me that my model specifically isn't covered under an existing extended warranty that has been issued to resolve this problem. This is a widespread problem with almost all models of vw from 2010-2018 and the nhtsa is well aware. My model of clock spring, although used in many of these other models that are coverage by this extended warranty, is not covered by vw. I'm not driving with no airbags until i can afford to replace out of pocket. This is a known issue and should cover all models which use that same clock spring that is the problem.
Loud snapping sound while turning, airbag warning light illuminated, lost all electrical functions of steering wheel, including horn & airbag.vehicle was in motion.had vehicle examined, codes pulled, determined it was failure of the clock spring mechanism.
Clock spring failed at 52,000 miles--affecting both the airbag and horn.vw refused to reimburse me for the repair, despite their clock spring recall on multiple vw models, that was initiated by nhtsa investigation.

This car was purchased as a certified vehicle after receiving the emissions fix. After less than 10,000 miles and only one year of ownership, all my dashboard warning lights came on (including airbag error) and the floor mats were soaked when i started my car after a severe rain storm.i was told the sunroof drains were plugged and caused the electrical issues.the drain being plugged with debris is considered an external factor and therefore the repairs are not covered by the warranty of this certified car.the owner's manual indicates that maintenance on the sun roof drains is recommended at 40,000 miles.as noted, the car was below the 40,000 mark but had sat idle for over a year between the time it was bought back from the original customer to when it was sold as a certified vehicle.

Vw installed a radio spec for another model car in my vehicle the replacement part is a new part number this problem created a rolling screen on my display very distracting while driving i asked vw costumer care to replace the wrong part installed at there factory vw refused to cover the cost ,this is a safety issue when your main display in the car is flashing and the screen is rolling and will lead to accidents i believe vw should have fixed this as a urgent safety matter thats it is distracting their drivers
Problem noticed december 12th when one by one all the warning lights came on including the air bag, the stabilization system, the headlight system and others. Then when i stopped at a red light, the car would not shift out of 1st gear. I ended up having to have my vehicle towed back home. The next day a mechanic scanned it and said there was a problem in the emitions system which disabled the car by making it not able to drive.i then had it towed to the nearest vw dealer who told me that the whole problem, including the failure of the safety systems, was caused by a leak in the sunroof. Water ran down the a-piller and shorted some wiring. They gave me a print out where vw admits that this is the result of a production defect but they said that if the defect was not found before the warranty ran out that vw would not allow it to be fixed unless i paid them over $1,0000. As it is, i had to pay them $240 to take the trim off of the a-piller and dry the wiring out. This made the car run normally for the time being but now i am afraid that it will happen again.
Information screen / radio, stop working properly back up back up cmera screen doesn't work.
The push start button not working need press multiple time just to start the car also apply when i need turn the car off . I need press push and start multiple time just to turn off the car.
Gearshift surround has foil plating over plastic. Plating flakes off at entry point to storage cubby causing razor cuts in hand and fingers. This can happen whether driving or stationary.

Weā€™re having the same shift lever micro switch problem that has already been recalled on tons of vwā€™s in 2019. The caris a rollaway risk and refuses to start as a result
I own a 2015 vw golf sportwagen with a little over 46,000 miles.the left front wheel bearing has gone bad and was diagnosed and replace (oem only) by a vw specialty garage. I was also informed and can hear, the right front bearing going bad as well.it all stated with a low hum which changed pitch with the speed of the car. Over time it got louder and louder until i finally took it in to a diagnosis.i researched the internet and found many gen 3 late model golfs with the same problem. Defective wheel bearings. Wheel bearings should not fail with only 40,000 miles on the car.i still have the original tires! vw claims its not covered under the power train warranty, but this is a front wheel drive car and the axles go thru this bearing!please investigate.
This is a 2015 tdi golf that sat on the dealer car lot for more than two years. We bought it spring 2018. Minimal maintenance done on vehicle when car was purchased.in fact, we bought three.tires had flat spots, and had to all be replaced. My daughter's car developed soft brakes. Mine as well, and not stopping well.her car failed to stop, resulting in a crash...this needs to be checked out that the brake flush and fluid are replaced earlier than the "recommended" 30,000 mile maintenance. Before others are injured.please
Today with only 16000 miles the power brakes stopped working and required that i use the ebrake and use both feet on the brake pedal, the engine was still running i suspect there is a brake booster problem

When stationary, driver's front door handle sticks or jams, making entry or exit difficult at times. We have had this repaired at the dealership before, but is apparently reoccurring. This hinders entry & exit and could very well make quick entry or exit more problematic in urgent or emergency situations. One such urgent situation is trying to get into or out of our vehicle when parked along a busy city street before traffic arrives. I don't know what specific part is involved, outside that the door handle appears to be the issue. This appears to happen in any weather.
Leaking sunroof - volkswagen will not warranty. Purchased my vehicle 2 year ago as a brand new vehicle. This vw golf sportwagen was part of the diesel emission recall and i purchased it after they released the vehicles as a brand new vehicle. Less than 200 miles on the vehicle. Had a headliner stain from water leakage. Vehicle sat in a lot for 2 years unmoved near trees which likely caused the leak. Dealership replaced headliner. 1 year later i noticed a large stain in the back near rear hatch. Researched issue and may with same mk7 body having same issues. Took back to a dealer and they said leak was due to "outside influence". Vw of america told me they will not warranty headliner due to outside circumstances. I do not park under trees and the "outside influence" is faulty drain lines and damages occurred at the dealership. Vw will not warranty leak. Vehicle has been in a dealer 4 times since may 2017 for the same issue with no resolve other than " we can not duplicate the issue" while there is obviously a leak! i feel completely stabbed in the back by vw and can not believe this has not been a recall with so many people having the same issue, and vw buying back alltracks for the same problem (same mk7 body) very disappointed in spending so much money on a broken vehicle.. Love the car, do not love water inside my car.
The contact owns a 2015 volkswagen golf sportwagen. While driving unknown speeds, the rear driver and passenger doors opened without warning. The vehicle was taken to vic bailey volkswagen (2671 redville rd, spartanburg, sc 29301). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 22,836.
March 10, 2019beginning on 12/08/2016, my vw has been to service for a leaking sunroof 4 times (the car was less than 3.5 years old!).the water has filled the spare tire/subwoofer well full, dripped through the lighting and electrical switches of the roof,drained into the dash and shifter as well as my lap while driving. And it presents so much moisture in the car the windows will not defog with the a/c on.vw maintenance departments always blame me for debris clogging the roof drains.i've since been informed of two tsbs on this roof addressing the flawed engineering. All the dealerships have done is cleared my drain hoses and on the 4th return, presented a $1,600 bill for removing and replacing my drains.i refused the repair and have duct taped my roof to prevent further water damage until this matter is formally resolved.vw customer care has refused to pay for this service claiming it is a maintenance issue.given where i live, the california central valley, during the first three years of owning this vehicle, we rarely had rain.approximately every 8 months the car has been taken to a vw dealership to address the leaking roof.

Just in front of the shifter and behind the center storage console, metallic trim on plastic peeled up leaving a razor sharp edge. I did not see this defect. As i pulled my keys out of the console, the smallest finger on my right hand was badly sliced, causing quite a lot of bleeding. Had i been driving at the time, this could have caused an accident because of the surprise, pain, amount of blood and the distraction caused by those things. Fortunately, i had just parked at my home and was able to run inside and stanch the blood flow.

Trim at compartment / shifter boot is peeling and aluminum coating will have a razor sharp edge which sliced my hand open

The brushed aluminum trim around the gearshift selector peels up leaving a razor sharp edge , this has cut my hand on more than on occasion as i reached into the storage compartment below the infotainment center. This has happened while driving on the highway and on city streets. The gearshift trim was replaced @35,000 miles
The push start button not working need press multiple time just to start the car also apply when i need turn the car off . I need press push and start multiple time just to turn off the car.
The vehicle infotainment system has become unusable (screen distortion) affecting tire pressure monitor, backup camera, traction control settings (preventing emissions inspection), service notifications and other vehicle systems only accessible through this unit. Dealer offered little assistance. System has theft protection making the dealer the only method of repair. Dealer refused to unlock a used component that could fix the problem.
