FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE THREE CONCERNS ABOUT MY NEW CAR. FIRST AND FOREMOST IS THE WINDOW ISSUE. I HAD THE VX BEETLE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS WHEN THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS ON BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDES EITHER DO NOT GO UP OR DOWN ALL THE WAY AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO. THEY STOP INTERMITTENTLY AND TAKE SEVERAL TRIES TO EITHER CLOSE OR OPEN. SAFETY ISSUE. DEALER SAYS VX KNOWS AND IS WORKING ON FIX. VX SAYS THE SAME BUT I HAVE HAD THE CAR THREE MONTHS NOW AND NO FIX (AND NO FIX IN SIGHT IT SEEMS). ALSO, FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT REGISTER AS FULL. A PART FOR THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ORDERED AND IS IN. IT WILL BE INSTALLED IN A FEW DAYS AND HOPEFULLY ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM ALTHOUGH OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE POSTED THAT THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. LASTLY, MY AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS WARM AIR UNLESS YOU TURN THE DIAL COMPLETELY TO MAX. ANY ADJUSTMENT BACKWARD FEELS LIKE THE HEATER IS ON. WHEN I TURN OFF THE AC AND PUT ON THE FAN WITH VENTS OPEN WANTING TO GET FRESH AIR (55 DEGREES OUT), AIR WARMER THAN OUTSIDE IS BLOWING IN. IT'S DIFFICULT TO ADJUST THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE WHEN YOU HAVE EITHER ICE COLD OR HEAT AND ARE HESITANT TO MESS WITH THE WINDOWS!!! *TR
