| 2010 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | WHILE DRIVING THE FAULT INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON SAYING THAT THE RIGHT FRONT HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. AFTER PARKING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND RESTARTING THE CAR, THE MMI WAS INDICATING NUMEROUS FAULTS WITH ABOUT HALF OF THE LIGHTING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A VW DEALER THAT DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THE RESULT WAS THAT A FUSE HAD MELTED INTO THE FUSE BLOCK AND THAT WAS CAUSING THE LIGHT OUTAGES. THE ENTIRE FUSE BLOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TOTAL REPAIR WITH LABOR WAS JUST OVER $600.00. I CALLED VW NORTH AMERICA ON 12-6-2013 AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THAT ISSUE ON MY VIN AND THAT OF COURSE IF THERE IS ONE IN THE FUTURE THAT I COULD POSSIBLY BE REIMBURSED AT THAT TIME FOR SOME OR ALL OF MY EXPENSES. *TR |
| 2012 | ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL | SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING MY SUV MANY FAILURE INDICATOR LIGHTS INDICATING EPC FAILURE, TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM FAILURE, LICENSE PLATE LIGHT NOT WORKING, LEFT TURN SIGNAL NOT WORKING, BRAKES LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT UP, ESC NOT FUNCTIONING. TRUNK ALSO WILL NOT UNLOCK. IT SEEMED LIKE EVERY SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT THIS CAR HAS CAME ON SHOWING SYSTEM FAILURES. EVERYTIME THIS HAS HAPPENED MY CAR LOSES POWER AND BARELY WANTS TO MOVE OR STALLS ALL TOGETHER HAVING THE AUTOMOBILES BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR END MY SUV. THIS SUV WITH THESE PROBLEMS IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN & SOMEONE IF NOT ME DRIVING THESE SUV'S WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF VW DOESN'T FIND THE RIGHT PROBLEM TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE SO MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS I READ ONLINE PLUS THE ONES WHO HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT ALREADY. *TR |
