ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPEEDOMETER IS NOT ACCURATE AND IN TIME I FOUND THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. AT FIRST IT WAS TRUCKS RUNNING UP ON MY REAR BUMPER BEEPING HORNS AT ME. SO WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SPEEDOMETER WAS REGISTERING SLOW, I SPED UP. BUT THEN HOW MUCH YOU CAN NOT TELL AND I FIND MYSELF BREAKING WHEN I SEE A PATROL CAR. I WAS MAYBE 1 OR 2 OVER BUT YET YOU JUST DO NOT KNOW. ITS A DISTRACTION THAT I FIND MAY CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. VW DOES THIS TO CONFORM TO A EUROPEAN STANDARD. THIS COULD BE EASILY CALIBRATED OUT AS THE CARS COMPUTER IS AWARE OF THE CORRECT SPEED AS VW CLAIMS THE ODOMETER IS NOT AFFECTED. UNECESSARY BREAKING OR A ROAD RAGED TRUCK DRIVER ARE SAFETY ISSUES. *NM

TIRES
I WAS DRIVING ON THE SAN MATEO BRIDGE AT APPROX 65 MPH, WHILE ON THE BRIDGE MY TPM ALARM CAME ON THEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BACKEND OF THE CAR STARTED TO SWERVE. I PULLED OVER ASAP AND AS I CAME TO A STOP THE TREAD PORTION OF MY REAR TIRE CAME BOUNCING PAST ME. AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE CAR, I SAW MY CAR SITTING ON THE RIM. LATER INSPECTION OF THE TIRE AND SIDEWALLS SHOWED NO OTHER DAMAGE EXCEPT THAT THE TIRE APPEARED TO COME APART RIGHT ALONG THE EDGE OF THE TIRE WHERE THE TREAD MEETS THE SIDEWALL. IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHER TIRES, THE STYLE OR MODEL OF TIRE HAS A SIDEWALL GROOVE IN THE MOLD. IT APPEARS THAT THE TIRE FAILED ALONG THIS GROOVE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRE. NO OTHER PUNCTURE MARKS OR OTHER SIDEWALL TRAUMA WAS PRESENT. ALONG THIS SAME GROOVE ON THE OTHER TIRES, THE RUBBER APPEARS TO HAVE IMPERFECTIONS, LITTLE BUBBLES AND VOIDS IN THE RUBBER THAT APPEAR AS IF THE RUBBER DID NOT FULLY FILL THE MOLD FOR THE TIRE. I STILL HAVE THE TIRE AND SIDEWALLS FOR INSPECTION & PICTURES THAT CAN ME EMAILED. *TR
