ENGINE
THE CAM SHAFT ADJUSTER BOLT BECAME LOOSE AND FELL OFF. CAUSING CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS A COMMON FAILURE FOR MY MODEL YEAR AFTER SOME RESEARCH, BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING ABOUT IT FROM VOLKSWAGEN. I WAS DRIVING ON A 70 MILE PER HOUR HIGHWAY WHEN MY ENGINE FAILED. LOSING ALL POWER (BRAKES, POWER STEERING, ETC.) WITH NO WARNING. NEWER MODEL YEARS DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY REDESIGNED THE PART. HAD THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I COULD HAVE GOT IT FIXED BEFORE I ENDANGERED MY LIFE AND MY ENGINE. 2006 VW BEETLE 2.5L BPS ENGINE. *TR

I FIGURED OUT TO TAKE FOOT OF GAS PEDAL AND REAPPLY AND IT WOULD FIX THE DECELERATION ISSUE.NEXT, MY CAR WOULD BANG INTO 3RD GEAR SO HARD I THOUGHT I WAS REAR ENDED.IT WOULD OCCUR 15 MINUTES INTO DRIVING IT.GOT A LETTER ,VALVE BODY RECALL,AND I CALLED VW,TOLD ME IT WAS TRANSMISSION AND WOULD COST 5600. I TOLD THEM I RESEARCHED THESE SYMPTOMS AND CLEARLY STATES VALVE BODY. 2 WEEKS OF CALLING AND WAITING,DEALERSHIP REPAIRED VALVE BODY.LESS THAN A YEAR,3RD DOING SOMETHING FUNNY TOOK TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND STATED 3 RD GEAR IS BAD AND SO IS VALVE BODY.CALLED DEALERSHIP BC ITS STILL UNDER WARRANTY TRIED TO SAY I COULDN'T GET A NEW ONE BC I DIDN'T GO TO THEIR MECHANIC.THE TRANSMISSION GUY CALLED THE PARTS MANAGER AND STATED ITS NOT THE JOB THAT'S WARRANTIED BUT THE PART AND AFTER WAITING 4 DAYS, GOT A NEW VALVE BODY.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
MY 2006 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE HAS HAD 4 FAILURES OF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO VOLKSWAGEN CERTIFIED DEALERSHIPS, THE PART THAT KEEPS FAILING IS A SENSOR IN THE SEATBELT. WHEN THIS SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS RENDERED USELESS. IT GOES OFF RANDOMLY, WITH NO TRAUMA OR INCIDENT TO THE VEHICLE. THE PART COSTS MORE THAN $600 TO FIX. I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED IN 2008, 2010, 2013 AND NOW THE SAME PART HAS FAILED AGAIN. EACH TIME IT WENT OUT IT WAS WITHIN A YEAR OF THE PREVIOUS FAILURE, ALTHOUGH UNTIL RECENTLY I DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS DISABLED - I WAITED TO TAKE IT IN BECAUSE OF THE INCONVENIENCE. THE LIGHT ALSO RANDOMLY TURNS OFF ONE OUT OF EVERY 10-15 DRIVES. THE VOLKSWAGEN REGIONAL CASE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT - DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE PART IS CLEARLY FAULTY AND HAS CONTINUOUSLY FAILED DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN OR ANY FACTORS I COULD CONTROL - THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT AND EXPECT ME TO PAY THE COST FOR THE YEARLY/BI-YEARLY FAILURE BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 102,000 MILES ON IT. THE FAILURE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE AND THE SAME PROBLEM WAS FIXED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THE CAR HAD LOWER MILEAGE. (PLUS, I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000) THIS PART CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF POSTINGS FROM OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE SUFFERING FROM THE SAME ISSUE AND VOLKSWAGEN IS STICKING THE CONSUMER WITH THE BILL FOR THEIR SHODDY WORKMANSHIP. WHEN I ASKED "IF I PAY TO FIX IT NOW, WILL YOU BE COVERING THE REST OF THE REPLACEMENTS IT WILL OBVIOUSLY NEED DOWN THE LINE?" THE ANSWER WAS A "NO." IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED BY SOME BODY WITH AUTHORITY OVER THIS COMPANY. THE VEHICLE IS NOT MEETING BASIC SAFETY STANDARDS. I MAINTAIN THE PARTS OF MY VEHICLE EACH YEAR THAT I AM REQUIRED TO - VOLKSWAGEN NEEDS TO DO THEIR PART TO MAKE THEIR VEHICLES WORK PROPERLY. *TR

TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFTS BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD. THE GAS PEDAL ALSO FAILS TO RESPOND AT CERTAIN TIMES LEADING TO HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION AND ALSO WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED, AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN DESCRIBED BY VARIOUS OWNERS AND VW HAS YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH HEADLIGHTS TURN THEMSELVES OFF WHILE DRIVING, LEADING TO DISTRESSING CONDITIONS AT NIGHT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, CONTINUING TODAY.THE HEADLIGHTS MUST BE MANIPULATE FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT TO 'RE-LOCK' THEM INTO POSITION FOR THEM TO WORK AGAIN. VW OFFERED TO SELL NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES, BUT OFFERED NO REASON FOR THEM TURNING THEMSELVES OFF EXCEPT TO SAY THAT THEY SEE THIS ISSUE A LOT. I HAVE ALSO HAD TREMENDOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS, BOTH FRONT AND BACK WINDOWS NOT OPERATING AND NOT FULLY MOVING UP TO THE STOP POSITION. AGAIN, VOLKSWAGEN SAYS THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE WINDOWS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY. THESE HAVE BEEN ONGOING PROBLEMS, FIRST ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NOT REPLACE, AND LATER AFTER WARRANTY THE DEALER OFFERED TO SELL NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND WINDOW CONTROLLERS TO ME TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHY WOULDN'T THEY REPLACE THEM WHEN THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING AND THE HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. *TR

VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND A POTENTIAL LIABILITY TO DRIVE DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND PURCHASED THE CERTIFIED VEHICLE THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED VW DEALER. VW FAILED TO NOTIFY ME OF AN AVAILABLE EXTENDED WARRANTY OF A RECOGNIZED ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO VW BUT THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY REPAIRS AND NOTIFIED ME ON THE LETTER THAT "IT IS OUR HOPE THE PREVIOUS OWNERS PASS THE INFORMATION TO YOU". THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE AND I AM APPALLED BY THEIR DECISION. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR

SINCE THE BEGINNING WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED I NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND TOLD THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES THEY ALWAYS ADVISED THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS IT STUCK HARD UNTIL IT REACHED 4TH GEAR IT RAN OK. ALL DURING THE TIME UNTIL PRESENT DATE THE TRANNY SLIPPED I WAS FINALLY TOLD IN EARLY 2012 THE TRANNY WAS GONE AND IT WOULD COST 6000K TO REPLACE THE WARRANTY HAD JUST ELAPSED. BUT DURING THE TIME PRIOR IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR STANDARD SERVICING INCLUDING DIAGNOSTICS AND I ALWAYS NOTIFIED THEM OF THE TRANSMISSION AND WAS TOLD NO PROBLEMS. TODAY I WAS ADVISED THAT THE ORIGINAL HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF AN AUTO TRANS VALVE BODY ISSUE, BUT WAS TOLD I WAS NO LONGER ELIGIBLE. THE CAR IS AT ABOUT 114060 MILES. I WOULD LIKE HELP IN GETTING VW AMERICA TO REPLACE THIS VALVE BODY BECAUSE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEMS ON THESE CARS PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION. WHEN ORIGINALLY PURCHASED I HAD EVEN PAID AN EXTRA 3000K FOR THE PLATINUM WARRANTY. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME TO HAVE VW AMERICA AT THE VERY LEAST CHANGE OUT THIS AUTO TRANS VALVE BODY THIS QUITE POSSIBLY COULD BE THE MAIN PROBLEM, AT THE TIME WHEN I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE 6000K I COULD NOT AFFORD THE COST SO I OPTED TO TAKE THE CAR OFF THE ROADS AND SET MYSELF BACK IN THE WHOLE BY BUYING ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH PAYMENTS, IN THE MEANTIME ALL THIS TIME I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THAT TRANS VALVE BODY PROBLEMS THESE CARS WERE HAVING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY ASSISTANCE YOU CAN OFFER. *TR

WE PURCHASED A USED, ONE OWNER, 2006 VW BEETLE CONVERTIBLE (45,000 MILES) FOR OUR DAUGHTER IN COLLEGE, FOUR MONTHS AGO. SINCE THEN SHE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS CONSTANTLY. SHE DROVE IT HOME OVER EASTER BREAK AND I HAD MY HUSBAND DETAIL THE CAR TO SEE IF HE COULD FIND OUT WHAT WAS CAUSING THE ODOR. WHEN WE TOOK THE FLOOR MATS OUT THEY WREAKED OF TOXIC NOSE BURNING CRAYONS. I THREW THE OLD MATS OUT, SPRAYED THE CARPETS WITH A NONTOXIC CLEANER AND LEFT THE HOOD DOWN IN THE GARAGE FOR 3 DAYS. THE SMELL DIDN'T GO AWAY. THIS WEEK-END SHE DROVE HOME AND BY THE TIME SHE CAME IN THE DOOR SHE WREAKED OF CRAYONS, HAD A STOMACH AND HEAD ACHE SO BAD SHE HAD TO GO TO BED. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR HER. I BROUGHT IN ALL OF HER LUGGAGE AND IT SMELLED JUST AS BAD. WE REMOVED THE NEW MATS BECAUSE THE SMELLED AS BAD AS THE OLD ONES. I PHONED THE DEALERSHIP IN SAVANNAH AND THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE SMELL. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT, YET WHEN I CALLED VW THEY SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD TO CONTACT THE HILTON HEAD DEALERSHIP AND PAY A $115.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WHEN I PHONE THEM THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE COULD LOOK AT IT BUT HE'D NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE AND THE BEST THING WOULD BE TO BUY HER A NEW CAR. I'M SORRY, THIS IS A COLLEGE KID AND $10,000 IS PLENTY TO PAY FOR A CAR. I'M NOT LOOKING TO CAUSE PROBLEM OR GET ANY HANDOUTS BUT THIS IS OUR ONLY CHILD AND HER HEALTH IS IMPORTANT TO ME. SHE LOVES THE CAR AND DOESN'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT SO WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE CAN REMEDY THE PROBLEM WITHOUT PAYING AN ARM AND A LEG. HAVE YOU HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS.? THANK YOU *TR
