| Description of the problem | Although vw has had recalls in multiple of its 2010-2014 vehicles with the exact same issue i'm having currently there is no recall on my 2014 volkswagen tiguan. I was parallel parking and i turned my wheel one way and heard a "tick-tick-tick" sound in the steering wheel column. When i turned the wheel the opposite way to finish parking it did not tick. After that i had no power in my steering wheel controls, alongside the airbag light turning on notifying me they were no longer working and my horn does not work when attempting to use while driving or inside the car. When outside the car and i hit the lock button the horn works notifying me it has been locked. I was nearly rammed into after another car tried merging into my lane and i wasn't able to honk my horn as warning to them. Considering the recent recalls from volkswagen i don't believe this issue is something i should have to pay for when it is the exact same problem for which the current recalls have been issued. |
