ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WIRING HARNESS RUNNING THROUGH THE TRUNK AREA OF THE VEHICLE IS ROUTED IN SUCH A MANNER THAT OPENING AND CLOSING THE TRUNK CAUSES THE INSULATION TO CHAFE, RESULTING IN A SHORT CIRCUIT WHICH CAUSES THE TRUNK TO OPEN WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHTS TO CEASE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

ENGINE
AFTER BEING PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED A SLIPPED TIMING CHAIN. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED THIS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WITH THIS ENGINE DUE TO A FAULTY DESIGN OF THE BELT TENSIONER.

ENGINE
THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER FAILED WHILE DRIVING. LOST POWER AND REQUIRED A TOW. DAMAGED VALVES, WARPED HEAD AND PISTONS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR. THIS APPEARS TO BE PROBLEM FOR THE 2.0 ENGINE AS I'VE READ THAT HAS OCCURRED WITH MANY OTHER OWNER'S. VOLKSWAGEN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE REPAIRS.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA AIRBAGS I HAD THE RECALL REPAIR DONE, SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE HORN STOPPED WORKING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON. VW WANTS TO CHARGE ME JUST TO LOOK AT IT. MY REF # AT VW IS 180415119. FURTHER MORE I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER ON JUNE 14, 2018 AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING OR PULLING OUT FROM A STOPPED POSITION. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT DOES THIS ON A DAILY BASIS. MY DAUGHTER HAD IT STALL OUT ON THE INTERSTATE WHILE GIVING IT GAS TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE SITTING THERE AND CALLED 911. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT PUT HER IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP AND ELECTRICALLY THAT WAS ISSUED A YEAR AGO -- HOWEVER THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX IT THEY SAY. WE HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY PARTS. I HAVE CALLED VW AND THEY SAID THAT IF I TOOK IT TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS THEY MIGHT COULD HELP WITH FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO CODE INDICATING THAT THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM EXISTED. HOWEVER, I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR IS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL SAYS IS HAPPENING. I AM SO FRUSTRATED AND FEEL THAT VW IS PUTTING OUR FAMILY AT RISK ON A DAILY BASIS. WE NEED THIS PART AND REPAIR DONE ON OUR CAR IMMEDIATELY. WAITING OVER A YEAR WHEN A KNOWN PROBLEM EXIST IS JUST NOT RIGHT -- WHEN THIS CAN PUT A LIFE AT RISK. IF THE CAR STALLS OUT PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ANOTHER VEHICLE OR GOING DOWN THE ROAD ON A BUSY INTERSTATE WHEN GIVING IT GAS TO PASS A VEHICLE IS JUST A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. NUMEROUS LIVES COULD BE IMPACTED.

ENGINE
BROKEN TIMING CHAIN/BELT. WE WERE LEAVING A RESTAURANT, WHILE IN THE PARKING MOVING FORWARD THE CAR HESITATED....AND THEN STALLED. I RE-STARTED IT AND IT WAS MAKING FUNNY SOUND. I TURNED IT OFF AND ASK FOR HELP PUSHING IT BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL IMPORT REPAIR SHOP FOR DIAGNOSES, WE WERE REFERRED TO A VW DEALER AND TOLD TO RESEARCH CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE REGARDING TIMING CHAIN/BELT FAILURE.

ENGINE
WHEN TURNING CORNERS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD FLASH ON AND ENGINE WOULD SOMETIMES MISFIRE. I TOOK IT IN TO THE VW DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT FOR THE SECOND TIME. THEY PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS AND THEN WENT TO PULL THE VEHICLE OUT OF SHOP AND IT WOULD NOT START. THEY DETERMINED THE TIMING CHAIN SLIPPED. THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. THE DEALERSHIP MUST DISMANTLE THE ENGINE TO DETERMINE ROOT CAUSE AND PRICE FOR PROPER REPAIRS, WHICH THEY ARE ESTIMATING AS $2,000 TO $5,000 - WHICH IS MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. WE TOOK GREAT CARE OF THIS CAR INCLUDING SERVICING AS RECOMMENDED. IT HAD 150K MILES, BUT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR MANY MORE MILES. VW SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A BULLETIN FOR SERVICING THIS KNOWN ISSUE AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FORCED TO BUY A NEW VEHICLE, MOREOVER, THEY SHOULD HAVE ISSUED A RECALL AS THIS COULD BE FATAL IF IT WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE HAD COMLETE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE IN MOTION, I LET IT ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT IT OFF BY TAKING THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. AFTER RESTARTING IT IT SEEMED TO RUN FINE, I WAS ONLY 5 MINUETS AWAY FROM HOME. SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MY WAY TO WORK IN MORNING RUSH HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY , SAME SITUATION ACCRUED. AFTER WAITING A MINUTE TO RESTART IT WORKED FINE. AFTER THIS HAPPENED ON A DAILY BASIS I TIMED HOW LONG MY CAR WOULD RUN BEFORE IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN, IT RAN FOR 14 MIN AND WOULD LOOSE ALL MOTIVE POWER, ALL OTHER POWER WORKED FINE,LIKE LIGHTS, RADIO AND SO ON. I THEN WENT ON THE VOLKSWAGEN WEBSITE AND RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM, COMING TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS IN MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENED, ON HIGHWAY, SIDE ROADS. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET HIT OR COME TO A COMLETE STOP IN THE CENTER OF AN INTERSECTION!!! I TOOK MY CAR TO A VW REPEALER AND EXPLAINED MY FINDING AND GAVE THEM THE RECALL NUMBER 20AE, THEY FIXED IT BY REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP CONTROLL MODULE, DUE TO THE MODULE BEING BAD I ALSO HAD TO GET NEW FUEL PUMP.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
POLICE OFFICER PULLED OVER MY VEHICLE DUE TO SPEEDING WHILE MY SPEEDOMETER READ THE EXACT SPEED LIMIT. MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE FLUCTUATES IN SPEED (MOVES UP AND DOWN RANDOMLY) EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. ALSO SAME PROBLEM FOR THE TACHOMETER. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE ITEM AND CAN CAUSE AND OR ACCUMULATE TO A CAR ACCIDENT AND OR DEATH. I HAVE READ ON COUNTLESS FORUMS OF VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS STATING THEIR NEWER VOLKSWAGEN MODELS HAVE INCORRECT SPEED READINGS I HAVE EVEN CHECKED WITH A HANDHELD GPS SYSTEM AND IT DID NOT READ WHAT WAS DISPLAYED ON MY SPEEDOMENTER.

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE HAD 2 RECALL NOT RESOLVED WITH VOLKSWAGEN. ONE OF THEM IS 20AE FUEL PUMP MODULE RECALL, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSED LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE IN MOTION. I HAD THIS SYMPTOMS 5 TIMES IN A WEEK, WHEN I DRIVE ON THE STREET THE CAR JUST STALLED. VOLKSWAGEN'S DEALER TOLD ME THE REPAIR IS UNAVAILABLE. THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATION HOW LONG I NEED TO WAIT BEFORE THE REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE. I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE RISK TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY CAR. BUT ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION IN NOT PROVIDED BY VOLKSWAGEN.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE TRAVELLING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED, MY ENGINE CUT OUT AND LEFT ME WITH NO POWER. I WAS TRAVELLING UP A HILL SO THERE WAS A DRAMATIC DECREASE IN SPEED, CAUSING OTHERS TO SWERVE AROUND ME AS I MADE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT OCCURED, BUT I FEEL LIKE I WAS LUCKY. I WAS TOWED TO A VW DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE HAD MELTED. NOT ONLY DID THIS CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO STALL, BUT BECAUSE THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE IS LOCATED ABOVE THE FUEL PUMP AND TANK, I WAS LUCKY THE VEHICLE DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE. I LET THE DEALERSHIP KNOW THAT THE FPCM WAS UNDER A RECALL FOR BEHAVIOR LIKE I EXPERIENCED, BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW, AND FORCED ME TO PAY $998.25 TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE AND THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, WHICH WAS DAMAGED WHEN THE FPCM MELTED. I'VE LOOKED UP THE TIMING ON THIS RECALL AND THEY SAY THAT A FIX HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED DUE TO A SHORTAGE OF PARTS OR UNKNOWN FIX. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE, AS THE FPCM THAT WAS PLACED IN MY VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS FIXED IS A NEW REVISION WHICH ISN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. IT SEEMS THAT THEY DO HAVE THE PARTS, WHY HAS IT TAKEN OVER 8 MONTHS FROM THE RECALL NOTICE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MOVE IT TO A BETTER LOCATION? THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE EXCALATED AND A FIX NEEDS TO BE ISSUED PROMPTLY. NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE AN ISSUE WITH VEHICLES STALLING ON THE ROAD, BUT THE POTENTIAL OF A VIOLENT FIRE IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGH.
