| 2007 | SERVICE BRAKES, AIR | I LEASED A 07 RABBIT AND AFTER ABOUT 12K MILES MY REAR BRAKES STARTED MAKING WEIRD SCRATCHING SOUNDS. AND IT EVENTUALLY STOPPED BUT IT CAME BACK TWO MONTHS LATER AND I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP (DONALDSONS VW AND SUBARU) AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I LET MY BRAKES WEAR OUT.. WHICH WHEN I TOOK OFF THE TIRE AND CHECKED THERE WAS STILL MORE THEN 50% PAD LEFT. I KNEW THIS BECAUSE I HAD BOUGHT NEW ONES AND I WAS GOING TO CHANGE IT MYSELF. SO DUE TO THIS THEY SAID I MESSED UP MY ROTORS WERE BROKEN TOO. SO I ENDED UP BEING CHARGED ABOUT A 500 DOLLARS TO BE FIXED. CURRENTLY, THIS IS HAPPENING AGAIN TO THE SAME PART OF MY CAR I HEAR A LOUD SCRATCHING SOUND AND I CHECKED TO SEE MY BRAKES AND THERE IS WAY MORE THEN 50% OF MY PADDING LEFT.. I'VE BEEN LOOKING IT UP ONLINE AND THERE IS ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT HOW THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IS NOT ADJUSTED RIGHT ON ANY OF THE 06-09 MODEL VW'S. I FEEL THIS IS IN NEED OF A RECALL DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT CAN DO SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I FEEL AS IF WHEN I BRAKE NOW I HAVE TO DO IT JUST SO SLIGHTLY OR I MIGHT BREAK SOMETHING AND END UP NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. *TR |
| 1982 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | CONSUMER HAD A 1982 VOLKSWAGEN . HE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS BEING RECALLED FOR AN ELECTRICAL FUSE PANEL WHICH WOULD OVERLOAD/OVERHEAT, AND MALFUNCTION. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE FUEL PUMP TO BE INTERRUPTED. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL VOLKSWAGEN DEALER, AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS RECALL. THEN CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, WHO ALSO SAID NO. *AK THE VEHICLE STALLS CONSTANTLY. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SHUTOFF PROBLEM CAUSES THE VEHICLE STALL WHEN DRIVEN. *TC |
