| 1995 | VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM | WINDOWS FOG UP VERY EASILY WITH AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE WITH MINIMAL DRIVING AND SUB NORMAL ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURES (WHEN THE CAR IS "COLD"). FOGGING FORCES DRIVER TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OT DEFOG WINDOWS. FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR UNIT FAILED ON HIGHWAY CAUSING WINDOW TO ROLL DOWN ON ITS OWN AND STAY DOWN. OWNER FORCED TO DISCONNECT MOTOR UNTIL PROBLEM COULD BE DIAGNOSED. WINDOW REGULATOR/MOTOR REPLACED. DRIVER'S WINDOW PRODUCED A CLICKING SOUND UPON REACHING THE CLOSED POSITION. WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED. |
| 2013 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | AFTER DRIVING FOR AN HOUR I MADE A STOP FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. I WAS RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE WHEN A NOTICED BLUE FLUID COMING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER ABOUT 3 MILES AWAY. AFTER THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THEY FOUND "HOSE CONNECTOR NEAR PUMP LEAKING WASHER FLUID". THE DEALER REPLACED THE HOSE CONNECTOR. NOT LEAKING AT THIS TIME. I HAVE SINCE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR OTHER ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT WASN'T PRESENT DURING MY TEST DRIVE AND I AM FILING SEPARATE COMPLAINS FOR THOSE ISSUES BECAUSE IM BEING TOLD THAT THESE ARE NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT ONLY HAD 38 MILES. CURRENT MILEAGE 1900 MILES. *TR |
