Description of the problem	When pulling out of my driveway, i heard a tearing sound coming from my steering wheel. Following the noise, my airbag warning light came on. The airbag is deactivated per the owners manual and will not function properly in an accident. I realized later on in my drive that the controls on the steering wheel and the horn also do not work. It is quite dangerous to drive as another driver that day swerved into my lane without checking and i had no method of alerting the driver because my horn doesnt work nor do i have the protection of an airbag. I got my car diagnosed with vw and they confirmed that the clock spring has malfunctioned and needs to be replaced. This is the same issue that caused vw to recall hundreds of thousands of vehicles up to i believe the 2012 model year. This recall was subsequently investigated by the nhtsa up to i believe model year 2014 but i do not know the results of that investigation, clearly vw has not addressed this prevailing issue or properly encompassed all affected vehicles as my model is 2016 and it is still happening.
