| 2000 | VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD | I AM REQUESTING ANY DEFECT INFORMATION ON THE REAR WINDSHIELD OF MY 2000 NEW BEETLE GLS. ON RETURNING TO MY LOCKED CAR ON LUNCH BREAK I FOUND THE WHOLE BACK WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED IN A PUFFED OUT DIRECTION (NO MAIN STRESS CRACK). SINCE IT IS SAFETY GLASS IT REMAINED INTACT (I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES). THE CAR HAD BEEN LEFT STILL FOR 3 HOURS.I CONTACTED BOTH DEALERSHIP AND "ZONE" CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR VOLKSWAGON TO REPORT THIS AND THEY SAY THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING EVER HAPPENING. I WORK FOR A FORKLIFT COMPANY WITH 20 PLUS MECHANICS ON SITE AND IT WAS SAID TO RESEMBLE HEAT EXPANDING IN THE CAR. THIS IS JANUARY THE TEMPERATURE ON THIS DAY WAS 40 DEGREES AND SUNNY. I WOULD LIKE ANY INFORMATION YOU HAVE PERTAINING TO THIS. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THE ANSWER TO A $500.00 QUESTION. THIS IS VERY DEVASTATING.*AK |
| 2008 | TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 70 MPH FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT FLASHED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THAT ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS FAILED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHICH TIRE SENSOR FAILED BECAUSE THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT WOULD NOT OFFER TO REPLACE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. THE CONTACT EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT AN OPERABLE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. |
