| 2001 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE EPC LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY, THUS MAKING YOU LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN YOU HAVE NO POWER IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND YOU HAVE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND RESTART HOPING THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF UNTIL YOU CAN GET TO YOUR DESTINATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME FOR APPARENTLY NO REASON. WE HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED BUT WITH NO RESULTS. HELP!! *TR |
| 2011 | WHEELS | TRAVELLING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS ON INTERSTATE 95 MY TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON SIGNALING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I IMMEDIATELY REDUCED SPEED AND MOVED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE TO MONITOR ANY CHANGE IN PRESSURE OR CONTROL. THE LIGHT STAYED ON FOR APPROX. 3 MILES WITHOUT ANY SIGNAL OF LOW PRESSURE AT WHICH TIME THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT. I WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY WITHIN 30-40 FEET AFTER BLOWOUT. THE TIRE ITSELF WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE RIM AND WAS 100% TORN FROM AT THE BELT SEAM ON THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR. THE TIRE IN QUESTION WAS A CONTINENTAL CONTIPRO CONTACT 225. VW WOULD NOT ADMIT DEFECT AFTER THEIR REVIEW ALTHOUGH MECHANICS AT MERCHANTS AND "OFF THE RECORD REVIEW" BY VW ADMITTED IT LOOKS LIKE A DEFECT. AT THE 10K SERVICE CHANGE AT VW, THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AND THE TIRES WERE APPROVED WITH SUFFICIENT TREAD NOTED. |
