SEATS
FRONT SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS (HEADRESTS) ARE TILTED FORWARD SO AGGRESSIVELY THAT DRIVING ABILITY IS IMPAIRED, AND SIGNIFICANT ERGONOMIC DISCOMFORT RESULTS FROM VW'S INTERPRETATION OF THIS NHTSA REQUIREMENT. PLEASE ADJUST YOUR REQUIREMENTS TO REFLECT A BETTER BALANCE BETWEEN SAFETY AND DRIVABILTY. THANK YOU. *TR

#10353458September 2, 2010
FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON AN ILLINOIS HIGHWAY WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND HEARD A TAPPING COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AFTER LOSING POWER. THEN DIESEL FUEL STARTED SPRAYING ALL OVER THE CAR AND THE HIGHWAY. PULLED OVER AND FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME TO CLEAN UP AS MUCH FUEL AS THEY COULD. CAR WAS TOWED TO LOCAL VW DEALER. IT TURNED OUT THAT THE FUEL LINE TO INJECTOR FOR CYLINDER #2 WAS LEAKING. THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED THIS PART. 03L-130-301-R LINE WAS REPLACED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN BRAKING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THERE IS AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION INTO THE FUEL SYSTEM, WHICH DEALS THE THIS STALLING ISSUE WITH THE DIESEL ON THE 2009 JETTA, AND THAT THE 2010 MODEL YEAR HAS THE SAME ENGINE. THE DEFECT CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS PE10034. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,800.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
ENGINE STALLS, ON STARTING FROM STOP, SOMETIMES WHEN GOING DOWN HILL, OR OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. SEEMS TO STALL WHEN RPM GOES BELOW 750. COMMONLY STALLS IN INTERSECTION, RESULTING IN DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE ONE RESTARTS CAR. COMPLAINED TO DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIX PROBLEM. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH STALLS DAILY TO ONCE EVERY SEVERAL DAYS. HAS BEEN DOING IT SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AFTER LEASING A BRAND NEW CAR FOR 2 DAYS (WITH ONLY 221 MILES ON THE ODOMETER) THE CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND WOULD NOT START, LEADING TO VERY DANGEROUS FOR LIFE AND STRESSFUL(I HAD TWO FINAL EXAMS COMING UP WITHIN 2 DAYS COMING GOT)SITUATION. AFTER THE CAR GOT TOWED TO THE OFFICIAL VW DEALERSHIP AT FLADEBOE ON JUNE 3RD, IT TOOK THEM 5 DAYS TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE CAR. THERE WAS NO INJECTOR PULSE AND ENGINE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. ALSO, THE CAR GOT SCRATCHED WHILE IN REPAIR.I WAS GIVEN A RENTAL CAR, AND ALTHOUGH I WAS TOLD BY THE VW STUFF THAT THE COVER ALL THE COSTS, I ENDED UP PAYING $63 FOR RENTING OUT A TOYOTA FROM "ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR". FEW DAYS AGO, I FOUND OUT THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AT ALL IN THE CAR, THE REAR VIEW MIRROR CANNOT NOT ADJUST COMPLETELY AND THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT DOOR JAMS WHENEVER THE CAR MANUAL IS PLACED INSIDE. I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM WORKED BEFORE THE REPAIR AT FLADEBOE. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
2010 VW GOLF TDI 285 MILES SUNROOF EXPLODED. NO OTHER CARS ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME. IN DOING RESEARCH ON EDMONDS.COM I FOUND TWO OTHER 2010 VW JETTA WITH SAME ISSUE. VW SAYS CAUSED BY EXTERNAL INFLUENCES AND DOES NOT WANT TO COVER IT YET THE DEALER DID UNDER GOOD WILL. THE EVENT WAS VERY TRAUMATIC AND VERY EASILY COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURIES AS WELL AS A ACCIDENT. *TR
