| 2011 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | FIRST NOTICED HEADLIGHT OUT, CHANGED IT AND STILL DID NOT WORK. THEN I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TURN SIGNAL ALSO DID NOT WORK. I WALKED AROUND THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT NOT ONLY DID THE FRONT HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL NOT WORK BUT ALSO THE OPPOSITE REAR BRAKE AND TURN SIGNAL AS WELL. CLEARLY SOMETHING IS WRONG. I WENT TO CHECK THE FUSE IT WAS COMPLETELY MELTED AS WAS THE BOX ITSELF! YOU CAN NOT JUST REPLACE THE FUSE BECAUSE THE BOX IS DAMAGED AND YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE BOX BECAUSE THERE IS TO MUCH AMPAGE GOING TO THE BOX THAT WILL CAUSE IT TO DO THE SAME THING AGAIN! VW NEEDS TO MAKE THIS WRONG, RIGHT! *TR |
| 2012 | SERVICE BRAKES | THE REAR BRAKES SEEM TO BE DEFECTIVE IN DESIGN, THEY GRIND AND SCREECH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CRAWLING ALONG, WE HAVE HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THEM AND THEY STILL DO IT AND VW SAYS THAT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND WE ARE WORRIED THAT AS IT GETS WORSE IT WILL AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS BUT VW HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. *TR |
