Description of the problem | My vehicle has been just fine up until saturday morning,12/1/2018 at approximately 10:30. As i was making a right turn i heard clicking coming from my steering wheel. Mind you i would here this clicking hear and there but figured maybe my steering column was getting rusty not know it was more serious until now. After i parked my car i received and air bag error. My car was apart of the takata airbag inflator recall and i got that fixed at the dealer april 2017. When i called the vw dealer near my residence, the service advisor ask i bring my car in to diagnose however from the sounds of it, appears to be a spiral clock spring issue. Of course being a female i had concerns and ask several questions goong back to the airbag replacement to see if it all tied in together. The advisor advised since the recall was a year and half ago this is a different issue but again would diagnose the vehicle first. Here |
