THE 5TH GEAR IN THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR A NUMBER OF TIMES RENDERING ME HELPLESS IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. I HAD MADE AT LEAST 5 ATTEMPTS TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE ON THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION PROPERLY AND WHEN IT WAS REPAIRED IT WAS IMPROPERLY REPAIRED, WITH PARTS LEFT OUT. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DUPLICATED BY ANOTHER DEALER NO REPAIRS WERE DONE UNTIL THE CAR WAS SEEN BY A 3RD DEALER WHO FOUND THE PROBLEM AND CORRECTED IT. THE TRANSMISSION WAS UNDERWARRANTY OF 10 YRS/100,000 MILES. . WE, THE CONSUMER, MUST LEARN TO BE AGRESSIVE AND GET PROPER REPAIRS DONE ON OUR AUTOMOBILES AND WE MUST USE EVERYMEANS AVAILABLE TO US TO ENCOURAGE/FORCE THE DEALERSHIPS TO BE MORE AWARE OF CONSUMER SAFTEY. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED OTHERS ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO THE CAR SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR. I NEED TO USE MY CAR AND I DID TRY TO GET IT FIXED SO IT WOULD BE SAFE ON ALL ROADWAYS AND IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON ROADWAYS. IF A CAR CANNOT BE REPAIRED BY A DEALER THEY SHOULD BE HONEST ENOUGH TO ADMIT THEIR LACK OF SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE AND THE CONSUMER REFERRED TO A PLACE OF REPAIR THAT HAS THE KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND TOOLS OF THE TRADE TO ACCOMPLISH THE REPAIR. A CAR OUT OF GEAR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS ON A FREEWAY IS AS DANGEROUS AS ANY OF THE TOP 3 DANGERS LISTED AND SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST.

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1999 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2002.VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . AT 25,000 MILES THE CAR STARTED BURNING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL. AT 28,516 VW FINALLY AGREES THE CAR IS BURNING OIL EXCESSIVELY. VW REPLACED PISTON RINGS. BUT AT 35,000 THE PROBLEM RETURNS! NOW VW STATES THIS IS "NORMAL". WHY IS THIS NORMAL NOW AND THE SAME PROBLEM WAS NOT NORMAL BEFORE? I HAVE RECENTLY LEARNED PER VOLKSWAGEN,IS SUPPOSED TO USE A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES. I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THIS BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE!!! ITS MY OPINION, BUT I SUSPECT THAT VW IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY PROBABLY DON'T WANT TO EAT THE COST OF REPLACING THOUSANDS OF ENGINES. SO....THEY DECLARED THIS SITUATION "NORMAL".I AM TOTAL DISCUSSED WITH VW OF AMERICA. BECAUSE THIS CAR BURNS MORE OIL THEN THE OLD HEAP I GOT TIRED OF. I WOULD LIKE A NEW ENGINE THAT DOES NOT BURN OIL!!!! "NORMAL" IS JUST A STANDARD WAY TO WEASEL OUT OF TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE VERY REAL PROBLEMS THAT MYSELF AND OTHER HAVE WITH THEIR VEHICLES!!!! *PH.Mileage was 29 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1999 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2005.VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING . I OWN A 1999 NEW BEETLE WITH THE 2.0 ENGINE WITH 37,000 ORIGINAL MILES. THE CAR QUIT RUNNING APPROX. 2 1/2 YRS AGO,APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT FROM A CERTIFIED VOLKSWAGEN DEALER, USED. A FEW DAYS AFTER DELIVERY THERE WAS A ROTTEN EGG SMELL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, ENGINE SLUGGISH. AFTER ONE MONTH THE BATTERY WENT DEAD COMPLETELY. REPLACED THE BATTERY, CAR WOULD NOT RUN. BATTERY DEAD AGAIN AFTER FOUR DAYS. I FOUND INFO ON THE INTERNET THAT SECURITY SYSTEM MUST BE SET OR THE BATTERY WILL LAST ONLY FOUR DAYS. INSPECTED PLUGS, FOUND HEAVY CARBON BUILDUP. INSPECTED PRE O2 SENSOR, FOUND SAME. DECIDED TO OVERHAUL ENG. FOUND HEAVY CARBON ON TOPS OF PISTONS AND VALVES. MACHINE SHOP HAD TO REPLACE PISTONS, RINGS, ALL BEARINGS, OIL PUMP, PLANE THE CYLINDER HEAD, PLANE THE HEAD MATING SURFACE, REPLACE SEALS, TURN THE FLYWHEEL. I HAD TO ALSO REPLACE THE WATER PUMP, TIMING BELT, CLUTCH, THROWOUT BEARING, O2 SENSOR, PLUG WIRES, AND THE DIPSTICK HOLDER. AFTER CONSIDERABLE MONEY SPENT, ENGINE WOULD START BUT NOT RUN. I FOUND OUT FROM THE DEALER THAT IF ELECTRICAL POWER IS LOST, VEHICLE MUST BE TOWED TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER AND BE REPROGRAMMED. IT WILL NOT RUN UNTIL THAT IS DONE. THE REASON GIVEN WAS THAT VOLKSWAGEN DID NOT WANT ANY OWNERS TO FIX THEIR OWN CAR. THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFIGANT SAFETY ISSUE IN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION! THERE ARE REPORTS ON SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS OF THE ORIGINAL BATTERIES BLOWING UP AND EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RUN UNTIL IT WAS REPROGRAMMED. VOLKSWAGEN SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A FULL INVESTIGATION ON THIS MODEL TO SEE IF IT SHOULD BE SOLD IN THE US.

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE Electrical System Fuses And Circuit Breakers

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1999 Electrical System Fuses And Circuit Breakers Report #10132970

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1999 car safety problem was reported on July 10, 2005.VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 1999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS . FUSE PANEL LOCATED ON TOP OF THE BATTERY MELTED IN THE AREA OF THE FUSE FOR THE RADIATOR COOLING FANS. THIS FURTHER DAMAGED THE FUSES FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE ABS SYSTEM. THIS CAUSED POWER TO THE ABS SYSTEM TO BE LOST. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THIS PROBLEM AS SHORTED COOLING FANS. HOWEVER, THE WIRING TO THE MOTORS AND THE FAN CONTROL UNIT WERE NOT AFFECTED. THERE WAS ALSO THE DISTINCT SMELL OF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE AND MELTED PLASTIC UNDER THE HOOD. THE FUSE PANEL HAS WHITE DEPOSITS UNDER ITS COVER ABOVE THE AREA THAT MELTED. I ASKED THE DEALER TO GIVE ME THE PARTS AFTER THE SERVICE. THE FAN MOTORS APPEAR TO OPERATE CORRECTLY WHEN CONNECTED TO A 12V POWER SUPPLY. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN THAT SUBJECTS THE FUSE TERMINALS TO CORROSIVE FUMES FROM THE BATTERY. THE INSERT MOLDED TERMINALS THEN BECOME CORRODED WITH HIGH ENOUGH RESISTANCE TO HEAT UP AND CAUSE THE FUSE PANEL TO MELT AND OR CATCH FIRE. I'M GLAD THAT THE PANEL WAS CONSTRUCTED OF A FLAME RETARDANT PLASTIC OR IT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BURNED MUCH MORE THAN IT DID. I AM ONLY TOO HAPPY TO FURNISH PICTURES IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO SEE THE DAMAGE. *NM.Vehicle was on fire. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 74105 miles.

IN NOV 2003 I HAD THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON MY 1999 VW NEW BEETLE GLX UNDER RECALL 03V-265. TODAY (MARCH 19, 2008) I LEARNED THAT A SECOND RECALL (#06V183000) WAS ISSUED ON MAY 4, 2006 WHICH STATED THAT "ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC OR MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS AND CRUISE CONTROLS, A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON THESE VEHICLES MAY MALFUNCTION IF IT WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY DURING SAFETY RECALLS 03V-265" AND THAT THE CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS "DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE NEWLY DESIGNED BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH FREE OF CHARGE" I CONTACTED VW ABOUT THIS RECALL (06V183000 ) AT THE NUMBER LISTED IN IT AND THEY SAY THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS PROBABLY BECAUSE PER ACTION RQ06004 THIS RECALL WAS LISTED AS CLOSED ON AUGUST 7, 2006. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE OF THIS SECOND RECALL FROM VW EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKE SWITCH IN MY CAR WAS PERFORMED AS PART OF THE 1ST RECALL (03V-265) AND MY CAR IS OF THE TYPE THAT THE 2ND RECALL COVERS (I.E. HAD 1ST RECALL PERFORMED, HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND CRUISE CONTROL). VW IS NOW REFUSING TO EITHER INSPECT MY CAR TO ENSURE THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS PERFORMED CORRECTLY OR REPLACE THE SWITCH AGAIN PER THE REMEDY OF THE 2ND RECALL. THERE IS NO REASON I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS 2ND RECALL. I HAVE LIVED AT THE SAME ADDRESS SINCE 2000. THE 1ST RECALL WAS PERFORMED AT THE SAME LOCAL DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD IT SERVICED IN THE TIME PERIOD SINCE BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND RECALLS. AND WHEN I CONTACTED VW AT THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED IN THE 2ND RECALL THEY DEFINITELY HAD MY CORRECT ADDRESS AND PHONE INFORMATION ON FILE. AS I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PRIOR RECALL AND WAS NOT I THINK VW SHOULD REPLACE THE SWITCH AS PER THE REMEDY OF THE 2ND RECALL BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO DO THIS.
