| 1999 | VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS | JUST BOUGHT THIS USED CAR AND AFTER USING THE WINDOW TWICE, THE REGULATOR BROKE. ACCORDING TO VOLKSWAGEN, THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOT PREVENTION AGAINST IT. I'M FROM WI AND CAN'T HAVE A BROKEN WINDOW IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. PLUS WHEN I CANNOT DO BUSINESS IN IL ANYMORE BECAUSE MY WINDOW DOESN'T WORK AND IT IS TOO COLD OUT TO BE DRIVING LIKE THAT. *AK |
| 2011 | ENGINE | DURING MID MOTION, WITH FOOT ON THE GAS, THE VEHICLE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. NO WARNING INDICATIONS APPEARED ON THE DASH. THE SPEED OF TRAVEL WAS APPROXIMATELY 35MPH. THE CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA. SERVICE AT VW HAS YIELDED INCONCLUSIVE RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORUMS ON EDMUNDS DETAILING AND ACCOUNTING THIS SEEMINGLY UBIQUITOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW. AS IT STANDS, VW IS PERSISTENT IN THERE STANCE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THEY REFUSE TO ISSUE A REFUND OR EXCHANGE ON CERTIFIED CARS. THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IN WHICH I WRITE ABOUT, WAS ON ITS FIRST DAY OFF OF THE LOT, AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. VW REFUSES ANY SUCH POSSIBILITY OF RETURN, EVEN ON ACCOUNT OF POSSIBLE SAFETY CONCERNS, AND DESPITE THE ACCUMULATIVE REPORTS OTHERS HAVE MADE DOCUMENTING THIS EXACT FLAW, WITHOUT ANY KNOWN WAY OF REMEDYING ON VW'S PART. *TR |
