Your steering wheel has had to be replaced once before due to a sensor problem at 38,000 miles, and now the same issue has returned between 80,000 and 90,000 miles. This affects your forward collision avoidance system functionality. The repair will likely involve replacing the steering wheel and its internal sensors again.

Your brake pads and rotors are wearing out very quickly — they needed replacement just 11-15 months after the dealership installed new ones, even though your vehicle only had about 10,900 miles at that time. When you reported this to the dealership, they refused to fix it because your car was out of warranty, and Volkswagen denied your claim. Premature brake wear like this is a safety concern and may indicate a underlying issue with your braking system that needs investigation.

Your car's drive assist system is displaying a 'drive assist not available' message and beeping loudly every 5 minutes while you're driving. Your dealer believes the steering wheel may need to be replaced, which is currently on back order. This appears to be a known issue affecting multiple owners of this model.
