| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1996 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY AND VEHICLE FAILED TO GO PAST 45MPH. WOULD NOT CHANGE INTO EITHER 3RD GEAR. *AK TRANSMISSION FAILED AND REPLACED. *YH |
| 2011 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER. THE GLOW PLUG COIL LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. TRIED TO MOVE IMMEDIATELY TO THE SHOULDER ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AT HIGH SPEED. TURNED THE KEY OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP UNDER VERY REDUCED POWER. THE DEALER HAD JUST COMPLETED MY 40,000 SERVICE ONLY HOURS BEFORE. NOW BEING TOLD THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND ONE OF THE INJECTORS IS BAD. CLAIMING BAD FUEL BUT THAT IS NOT CORRECT. HAVE ONLY BURNED HIGH QUALITY DIESEL IN THE VEHICLE AND HAD ALL SERVICES DONE. APPEARS THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND IT'S AMAZING SOMEONE HAS NOT BEEN HURT. VW NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IS $10K AND IT'S NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR |
