At home while the vehicle was off and stationary, upon removal of the rear bench seat, i discovered severe burn marks under the seat. As well as some coins that have been cemented in place by melted plastic. The burned area appears to be right above the exhaust.

Horn doesn't work and there is no warning light. A vehicle decided to do a u-turn in front of me with no warning. Hit the horn to find it not functioning. There is no warning light to indicate there is an issue. The part that failed is also tied to the airbag system. The part that failed is the clock spring - j527 module as noted in the vw dealer indicating the horn functions but the module needs to be replaced.

It is a safety issue that the vehicle's horn started weakening out and it stopped working. I did some research and found that other people who owned an mk6 (2011-2015) jetta had the same issue across the nation. Please enforce the vw to open a recall for this issue.

Turned on vehicle, went to turn on the stereo, and once i hit the 'power' button, it turned on and then the screen went black, resulting in the complete loss of the head unit, radio, blue tooth, and clock. Fuses were checked in both the fuse box and the stereo itself, and no fuses were blown.

My key will not be allowed to turn the car on. It will go into the ignition, but will not be allowed to turn at all. The car was parked in a parking lot. It had been driven 20 minutes earlier and throughout the day without a problem. A few weeks ago while parked on a city street the car would not turn off.
