TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL ALMOST A YEAR AGO, AND JUST CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO PROJECTED DATE FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS, IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING VERY DANGEROUS TO BE LEFT UNREPAIRED WHILE DRIVING.

ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,700.

TAKATA RECALL/EMISSIONS RECALL - VW HELLO, MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I OWN A 2013 VW GOLF TDI. I AM VERY CONCERNED AT THE AIRBAG RECALL BECAUSE I DRIVE OVER 150 MILES/DAY JUST TO AND FROM WORK. ON TOP OF THAT, I ALSO DRIVE YOUNG CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE ON A DAILY BASIS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE UNTIL THE AIRBAG SITUATION CAN BE RESOLVED. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR, AND AS A LOYAL CUSTOMER, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. I CANNOT DRIVE AROUND A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL ME DUE TO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND I CANNOT PUT OTHERS WHO RIDE IN MY VEHICLE AT RISK. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. ON TOP OF THIS ISSUE, THE EMISSIONS RECALL IS STILL UNRESOLVED. I AM VERY UPSET AT ALL OF THE ISSUES THAT I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE AND IT IS UNACCEPTABLE! PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE. THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED AT 130,000 MILES COSTING $5000 TO REPLACE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND 4 INJECTORS. THIS IS A DIESEL ENGINE, SO 130,000 HIGHWAY MILES IS NOTHING. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DIESEL POWERED CARS AND TRUCKS IN THE PAST THAT HAVE GONE PASSED 300K MILES BEFORE A MAJOR REPAIR WAS NEEDED. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A "ECONOMY CAR" AS PER WHAT THE SALESMAN STATED. I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY OTHER VEHICLE THAT COST'S $5000 TO REPLACE A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. $5000 IS 1/3 THE VALUE OF THE CAR. THE CAR STALLED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. RECOMMENDED MAINT ON THE CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN DONE AT THE CORRECT TIME AND MILES. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS CASE'S ON THE TDI FORUM THAT MANY OTHER VW TDI OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME EVEN TWICE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND NOT TO MENTION BUT A SERIOUS MISLEADING OF THE PUBLIC IN WHAT A ECONOMY CAR" SHOULD BE. SO WITH ALL THIS BEING SAID NOW, I HAVE TO ADD THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS "ECONOMY CAR" ANY LONGER AS THAT I CANT TRUST IT TO BE SAFE AND RELIABLE TO DRIVE. RECENTLY, I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE THIS CAR IN THE VARIOUS NEW CAR DEALERS ON A MORE SIMPLIFIED SAFE VEHICLE TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALERS HAVE ALL TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD TAKE THE CAR IN ON TRADE, BUT WOULD GIVE ME ONLY AT THE MOST $1000 ON A TRADE BECAUSE THEY STATED THEY CAN NOT SELL IT AS USED WITH THE DIESELGATE BLACK CLOUD ON THIS CAR. SO I AM ON THE HOOK TO VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT IMO IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND THAT HAS NO RESALE VALUE DUE TO VW OF AMERICA CHEATING ON THE VEHICLE EMISSIONS SYSTEM.

I DO NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE THIS CAR DUE TO THE AIRBAG RECALL HAS NO REMEDY AT THIS TIME, ITS BEEN 1.5 YEARS SINCE THE TAKATA AIRBAG FIASCO. AIR BAGS ARE REQUIRED ON ALL VEHICLES BEING SOLD NEW OR USED. THIS AIRBAG MIGHT KILL ME, THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. WHY HASN'T THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MANDATED THESE VEHICLES BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD DUE TO IT IS AN UNSAFE PRODUCT TO OPERATE AND THERE IS NO FIX IN SIGHT?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
ON 5 AUG 2015, AT APPROXIMATELY 9:00 PM, MY 2013 VW GOLF TDI SUDDENLY DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE IN LEXINGTON, KY. I NARROWLY ESCAPED BEING HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER IN THE REAR END WHEN THE CAR DIED. I HAD PREVIOUSLY PUT $20 WORTH OF DIESEL FUEL IN THE CAR EARLIER THAT MORNING SO THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES AFTER FUELING BEFORE THE CAR SUDDENLY DIED. AFTER THE CAR DIED, IT WOULD NOT RESTART SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL VW DEALER IN LEXINGTON, KY. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT MORNING (6 AUG) AND DROPPED OFF THE KEY AND EXPLAINED TO THE ASSISTANT SERVICE MANAGER (MERRITT) WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPT BACK AROUND 3:30 LATER THAT DAY TO CHECK ON THE STATUS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (HPFP) HAD FAILED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE STILL DIAGNOSING THE CAR TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE AND WHAT PARTS WERE GOING TO NEED REPLACED. SINCE THE HPFP IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THE VW DIESEL MODELS, HE RECOMMENDED THAT I CALL CORPORATE VW OF AMERICA AND OPEN A NEW CASE WHICH I DID AND PROVIDED THE CASE NUMBER BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. YESTERDAY (7 AUG), I GOT WORD FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE ENTIRE FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM HAD METAL SHAVINGS IN IT AND THAT ALL MAJOR PARTS WERE GOING TO NEED REPLACED, FUEL PUMP, INJECTORS, FUEL LINES, ETC AND THAT THE ESTIMATED BILL HAS GOING TO BE BETWEEN 5-7 THOUSAND DOLLARS. VW OF AMERICA ALSO CONTACTED ME YESTERDAY AND LET ME KNOW THAT THEY HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE LEXINGTON DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW BY MONDAY, 10 AUG IF THEY WOULD COVER THE PARTS AND LABOR PAST THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION DATE SINCE THE HPFP FAILURE IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE VOLKSWAGEN TDI MODELS. I WILL UPDATE THIS AS I RECEIVE NEW INFORMATION. I AM RETIRED MILITARY AND A CURRENT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE REAR BRAKES (MAINLY DRIVER SIDE) ON MY 2013 SPORTWAGON TDI, ARE STICKING BAD.. MILEAGE HAS DROPPED 10 MPG-ISH, AND THEY ARE REALLY EMITTING QUITE A BIT OF HEAT.. SO OBVIOUSLY THE BRAKES ARE STICKING, BUT I CANT FIND THE REASON... I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY COULD TAKE A LOOK. AND THEY SAID THAT IT JUST NEEDS NEW PADS AND THE CALIPER SLIDERS GREASED. SO I HAD THEM ALL REPLACED. IT SEEMED TO BE BETTER GETTING NORMAL MILEAGE AND LESS HEAT AND NOW A COUPLE DAYS LATER ITS BACK TO STICKING. TOOK THE CENTER CONSOLE APART TO SEE IF THERE WAS A BIAS IN THE CABLES SHOWING A STUICKY CABLE OR SOMETHING AND I COULD SEE THEY WERE DEAD EVEN... WENT AWAY FOR SOME TIME AND NOW ITS BACK AGAIN..

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE THE CAR JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS FOR PEOPLE COULD GO AROUND ME SO I COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET TO SAFETY. AS SOON AS THE CAR DIED I TRIED TO TURN THE KEY TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. ONCE I DID THAT A BUNCH OF LIGHTS CAME ON AND GOT A CLICKING SOUND ONCE I TURNED THE KEY. I THEN QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE. COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO CROSS A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION. I TOLD DEALER AND THEY WROTE IT UP BUT FOUND NOTHING. *JS

DRIVING IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC AT AROUND 35-40 MPH. PRIOR,TO THIS INCIDENT, CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND TROUBLE FREE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND ACCELERATING WHEN I REALIZED THAT MY CAR WOULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 40MPH. I PULLED THE CAR OVER AT THE NEXT EXIT AND THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. IT WOULD NOT LET ME GO PAST THE SLOWEST SPEED THAT I HAD REACHED WHILE EXITING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND IT WOULD NO LONGER START. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP WHERE IT TOOK NEARLY A WEEK TO GET THE CAR FIXED. THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE FUEL LINES; THE FUEL PUMP AND ALL LINES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD MY CAR FOR LESS THAN A YEAR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AND THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 15000 MILES ON IT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT "SOMETIMES THESE THINGS HAPPEN" AND THAT I WAS FORTUNATE IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY (+$5K WORTH OF DAMAGE). THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT IT, OR PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. MY CAR IS A VOLKSWAGEN GOLD TDI (DIESEL). *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
OUR VW GOLF CAME WITH CONTINENTAL CONTIPRO CONTACT TIRES. WITH LESS THAN 9300 MILES ON THE CAR, WE HAD A CATASTROPHIC TIRE FAILURE. AS WE ENTERED THE FREEWAY ON RAMP, OUR TIRE INDICATOR LIT UP TELLING US TO CHECK THE TIRES. LESS THAN THREE MINUTES LATER, IN A HIGH SPEED ZONE LIMITED TO ONE LANE BECAUSE OF CONSTRUCTION, WITH NO SHOULDER, OUR FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE COMPLETELY SEPARATED, LEAVING US WITH LIMITED CONTROL OVER THE CAR AND FEW OPTIONS TO AVOID A CRASH THAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HUGE PILE UP AND FATALITIES. CHECKING A WEBSITE REGARDING CONTINENTAL TIRES AT CONSUMER AFFAIRS.COM, I SEE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE TIRES FAILING AT LOW MILEAGES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE AT RISK. *TR

SUSPENSION, SERVICE BRAKES
ON JULY 16TH, 2013, AT 9:10 PM, I HAD DRIVEN, MY VW GOLF, 11 MILES, AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, OF 59 MPH. I WAS USING THE CRUISE CONTROL. UPON ARRIVING, AT MY FREEWAY EXIT, I BELIEVE I TURNED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL, OR TAPPED THE BRAKE. I DON'T RECALL WHICH. I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY 2013 GOLF, FOR 11 MILES, AT THE FREEWAY SPEEDS, OF 59 MPH. OTHER VEHICLES WERE PASSING ME, WITH THESE OTHER VEHICLES GOING FASTER, THAN MY CAR. I WAS GOING SLOWER THAN THEM. MY CAR WAS NEW, AND I AM RETIRED. SO I DO NOT NEED TO TRAVEL SO FAST. AFTER ALLOWING THE 2013 VW GOLF, TO SLOW DOWN, I PUSHED THE SERVICE BREAK PEDAL. THE SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL, WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I QUICKLY THOUGH, AIR WAS IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM, SO I TRIED TO PUSH THE SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL, AN ADDITIONAL 2 TIMES. SO I HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS FAST VEHICLE TRAVELING, AT 59 MPH. THE CAR BECAME AIRBOUND. SO I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE THE VW GOLF, IN A RIGHT TURN MANEUVER. TO AVOID, CRASHING, ACTUALLY, T-BONING, THE CROSS TRAFFIC. THE 2013 GOLF, DID NOT ROLL OVER, IT JUST SLID SIDEWAYS, THE VW BECAME AIRBOUND. AND HIT THE MIDDLE MEDIAN, SIDEWAYS. THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL, SNAPPED OFF, AT THE SPINDLE. THE BRAKE HOSE SNAPPED, BUT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID, LEAKING OUT, OF THE BRAKE HOSE. IT IS MY OPINION, THERE WAS ZERO BRAKE FLUID, IN THIS NEW VW CAR. NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I HOPE, THE CAR, WILL BE PICKED UP, VERY SOON. THE CRASHED VW, IS PARKED RIGHT HERE, IN FRONT OF MY HOME. I FIRST THOUGHT, THAT SOME PERSON SABATOGED, MY CAR. BUT, HERE IN FRONT OF MY HOME, THERE ARE NO LEAKS. THE TOW TRUCK, DRIVER, WAYNE IS HIS NAME, HE DECLARED, TO ME, THAT HE DID NOT HAVE TO CLEAN UP, ANY BRAKE FLUID, AND THE VW OF AMERICA, [XXX] REPRESENTATIVE, TOLD ME, THAT THERE WAS ZERO BRAKE FLUID, IN THE CAR.

ENGINE, STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, I WAS DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS UNABLE TO CHANGE LANES DUE TO LACK OF POWER AND POWER STEERING, SO I TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE WHILE COASTING IN THE FAST LANE. THE HUD INDICATED THAT I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, SO I STOPPED THE CAR IN THE FAST LANE IN ORDER TO DO SO. THE ENGINE STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY. THE CAR WAS 6 WEEKS OLD AT THE TIME, AND HAD ABOUT 1100 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. *TR
