2017 Volkswagen GOLF ALLTRACK - STEERING Failure Complaint (#b0c960)

2017 Volkswagen GOLF ALLTRACK

  • Date of Incident: Nov-14, 2023
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-29, 2024
  • Failed components: STEERING

The clock spring assembly on my vehicle failed. In may 2023 volkswagen of america issued an extended warranty coverage notice for the part. After doing some research and determining the part failure, i called my local vw dealer to report the problem. They told me they would be happy to schedule an appointment to look at my vehicle but they could not schedule my vehicle for service for at least a month. Considering this issue to be an extreme safely issue and realizing i did not want to drive around in my vehicle for over a month without air bag protection, i had my vehicle repaired at an independent service facility. I have had several communications with vw of america (attached) and they refuse to reimburse me for this repair.
