Description of the problem	The electronics in the steering wheel started going out, finally nothing on the steering wheel to do with electronics will work, no airbag no horn no cruise control no stereo buttons no other controls this problem is related to the clock spring, and so i took it to a dealer . The dealer said it had already had the recall done , they put a cover over the electronic clock spring, they said back when that this would fix the problem , well it doesn't fix the problem , it may delay it , until the car is out of warranty . My daughter drives this car, without an airbag now because vw and pignataro vw refuse to properly deal wit the problem. The cover does not work , the clock spring will break , and the airbag light will come on . Leaving the occupant open to injury or death in head on collition.
