2016 Volkswagen Passat

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON SURFACE STREETS AND WHEN MAKING TURNS I STARTED TO HEAR CLICKING NOISES. NEXT TIME I TURNED ON MY CAR AND WENT TO PULL OUT, AN AIRBAG WARNING APPEARED AS WELL AS THE SYMBOL, AND I LOST ALL USE OF MY STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS AS WELL AS MY HORN. IT SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY CLOCK SPRING WHICH IS A REPORTED PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED BUT NOT WITH MY 2016. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE ISSUES THAT I HAVE TO REPAIR OUT OF POCKET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT OVERHEARD AND ABNORMAL NOISE AS THE OIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS APPROACHING A HILL AND ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE PASSENGER'S SIDE BRAKE PADS AND ROTOR WERE REPLACED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN TO HILEY VOLKSWAGEN OF HUNTSVILLE (6944 HIGHWAY 72 W, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35806, (256) 882-0200) WERE THE OIL WAS CHANGED AND AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE ANY FAILURE CODES. THE OIL WAS CHANGED EVERY 3 MONTHS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR MORE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V705000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

I HAVE HAD 2 DIAGNOSTICS DONE ON THIS CAR AT 69 THOUSAND MILES EPC LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN AND NOW THE FUEL SYSTEM IS MESSED UP, FUEL INJECTORS ALL 4 I WAS TOLD IS BAD,THE DEALERSHIP PRINCIPLE VW TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS BUT WANT TO CHARGE ALMOST 3,000 DOLLARS FOR THIS PROBLEM. NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT MEANTION THE RECALL I WAS TOLD ABOUT IT

WHILE DRIVING AND TRYING TO STOP IT APPEARS THAT BRAKES/ABS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. ABS, TPMS, TRACTION CONTROL, SRS WARNING LIGHTS HAVE COME ON FOR THE SECOND TIME IN JUST A FEW MONTHS SPAN. DEALER SAID IT WAS FAULTY ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSORS BOTH TIMES (BOTH REAR). IT APPEARS THAT IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11265312. *TR

WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER TURNING ENGINE OFF; THE ISSUE DISAPPEARS IF THE ENGINE IS STARTED THEN TURNED OFF; FAN LIKE NOISE COMES FROM UNDER THE RIGHT-REAR WHEEL WHILE THE FUEL PUMP RUNS WITH THE ENGINE OFF; THIS ISSUE IS SIMILAR TO RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V509000, OR VW RECALL NUMBER 20AE; BATTERY DRAINED AND THEN ENGINE WAS NOT ABLE TO START; *TR
