VISIBILITY/WIPER
UPON CLOSING CONVERTIBLE TOP WHILE STATIONARY ON THE SHOULDER OF A DIVIDED ROADWAY, DRIVER'S WINDOW JAMMED HALFWAY AND BECAME INOPERABLE. VW DEALER AND VW REGIONAL OFFICE CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN WINDOW REGULATORS, AFFECTING ABILITY TO SEE PROPERLY OUT OF VEHICLE. VW PERSONNEL SAID THEY HAD ACTUALLY EXTENDED A WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN DEFECT -- PROVIDING 100,000 MILES OF COVERAGE. HOWEVER, UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, THEY STATED THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED IN 2014 AND WOULD NO LONGER BE HONORED DESPITE THEIR ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS FORCED ME TO HAVE THE DEFECT REPAIRED AT EXTREMELY HIGH COST AND MY OWN EXPENSE. THE INVOICE IS ATTACHED, AND I HAVE KEPT THE RUINED PARTS FOR FURTHER DOCUMENTATION IF NEEDED.

RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE FROM VW. CALLED LOCAL DEALER WAS REFERRED TO VW AMERICA. VW IS DOING NOTHING FOR CUSTOMERS AS NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A DO NOT DRIVE ORDER. HOW MANY DEATHS WILL IT TAKE TO FORCE VW INTO DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR CONSUMERS OR FOR NHTSA TO ISSUE A DO NOT DRIVE ORDER?. IF MY WIFE DRIVES HER CAR, AND IS INJURED, I WILL BE HOLDING VW AND THE NHTSA RESPONSIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED LETTER IN THE MAIL RE: SAFETY RECALLED. CONTATCTED VW TO REQUEST 1. TERMINATION OF LEASE OR 2. THAT THE FIX THE CAR IMMEDIATELY OR 3. PROVIDE ME WITH AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE TO DRIVE IN THE INTERRIM AND THE OVERALL RESULT IS THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL AT ALL. I AM VERY DISSATISIFIED WITH THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING THIS AND I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH MYSELF OR FAMILY MEMBERS IN IT, AS THE LETTER THEY SENT INDICATES THIS SITUATION "MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS". I PAY A LOT OF MONEY TO LEASE THIS VEHICLE AND I WOULD EXPECT A CERTAIN LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM AND CONCERN FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CONSUMER, ESPECIALLY BY A CAR MANUFACTURER. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE PERSONAL WELL BEING AND SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AND AM REQUESTING ASSISTANCE TO DEAL WITH THIS MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED VW TODAY AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO REMOVE MY VEHICLE FROM SERVICE AND PROVIDE A RENTAL OR LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MY CAR IS REPAIRED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. HONDA HAS PROVIDED LOANER VEHICLES. WHAT MAKES VW ANY DIFFERENT. AS OUR PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORT, THIS VW SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE BY THE US GOVERNMENT. THIS CAR IS A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP TO MY FAMILY!!

POWER TRAIN
THE CAR INITIALLY EXPERIENCED HARD SHIFTING SINCE THE FIRST WEEK WE PURCHASED IT. THE DEALER FOUND NO FAULTS. THE CAR EVENTUALLY HAD A LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING DUE TO A FAULTY MECHATRONICS UNIT. DURING THE FAILURE MODE, THE CAR ENGINE LOST ALL POWER WHICH RESULTED IN A LOSS OF SPEED AND INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURES HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. PREVIOUS VW EOS MODEL YEARS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS UNIT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON MARCH 18, 2016 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AND SHUTTER AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE. IT WOULD ALSO NOT ACCELERATE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND CHECK FOR A FLAT. I DID NOT HAVE A FLAT. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE FOUR FUEL INJECTORS WAS FAULTY. THEY INFORMED ME THAT VOLKSWAGEN WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH FUEL INJECTORS AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE ALL FOUR OF THE FUEL INJECTORS SINCE THEY WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH THEM, BUT THEY WOULD NOT DO SO. THE DEALER ONLY REPLACED ONE OF THE FUEL INJECTORS. I CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER CARE ON MARCH 21, 2016 AND I WAS TOLD THAT VW HAD ISSUED A WARRANTY EXTENSION ON FUEL INJECTORS AND THEY WERE NOW COVERED FOR 10 YEARS/120,000 MILES. I ASKED IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE THREE ORIGINAL FUEL INJECTORS, SINCE I AM NOW CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO THAT SINCE THEY WERE OPERATING PROPERLY. I POINTED OUT THAT IT WOULD BE SAFER TO BE PROACTIVE AND REPLACE THE THREE ORIGINAL FUEL INJECTORS SINCE THEY WERE INSTALLED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ONE THAT WAS REPLACED AND COULD VERY WELL FAIL IN THE FUTURE. VW TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT DO SO. I AM THEREFORE CONTACTING YOU TO SEE IF YOU COULD INTERVENE ON MY BEHALF AND HAVE VW REPLACE THE THREE ORIGINAL FUEL INJECTORS. THANK YOU CC: VW CUSTOMER CARE 3800 WEST HAMLIN RD AUBURN HILLS, MI 48326 *TR
