Volkswagen Beetle 2014 Unknown Or Other Review #10617394

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2014 car safety problem was reported on Apr 03, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2014, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . problem with clutch release. pulling away from a stop, the clutch sometimes disengages without any sign of shutter. all of a sudden you find yourself in traffic and the engine is off and the steering wheel is locked. this occurs several times a week and creates a panic response especially when you are pulling away from a light or merging into traffic. cars from behind have to hit their brakes when you pull out into a lane of traffic and the car stalls. my wife and i have driven six different vehicles over the past 30 years all which had manual transmissions. four of these vehicles were vw’s. we know what it feels like when you accidently “pop the clutch”. there is usually a shutter and you feel the vehicle comes to an abrupt stop. in the case on my 2014 vw beetle, you sometime never feel anything through the clutch pedal and all of a sudden you see the alternator light and you realize the engine is “dead”. i took the car into the vw dealer and the shop supervisor drove the car with me as a passenger. as it would be, the car never stalled ever after making may stops and pulling up hills, etc. the dealership was very nice and did try to make the car behave as i have described above. unfortunately it did not. i’m writing this to go on record as having what i feel is a potential safety related problem with my vw. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 60 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3VWH07AT7EM. Volkswagen Beetle 2014 problem was reported in SAN ANTONIO, TX. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2014 car safety problem was reported on Aug 14, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2014, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . exited the interstate and once on the off ramp, tried to speed up and the engine service light started to flash, then the vehicle slowed and would not accelerate. i was able to drive home at about 35 mph. stopped the car, then restarted and the light went off. called the closest vw dealer . at first they said call the vw roadside help since we had not bought the car from them. after i told them they had always serviced our prior vw's, all three of them, then they changed their tone and they stated that if the light was no longer on then the system most likely reset itself and it should be fine. i made an appoint to have it checked anyway. the next day the wife drove to and from work, 120 miles total, and it seemed ok, but the turbo indicator has always shown a high reading, even when not applying power. took it to vw dealer and after examination determined the fuel system was contaminated with metal shaving. they advised that vw has had an issue with the tdi high pressure pump and they were going to have to contact vw to find out what needed to be done at this point. they told us that it would be at least two days to fix it, so now we wait. they did provide us with a vw beetle, turbo, gas model at no cost. it seems this turbo works correctly on this one..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2750 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2014 car safety problem was reported on Mar 05, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2014, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . the vehicle is equipped with manual transmission and keyless ignition. this is an unsafe combination should the car be stalled. when the start button is pushed and i have failed to get the clutch pedal all the way to the bottom the car won't start. now the button must be pushed once to turn the ignition off, once more to turn the ignition on and yet a third time to engage the starter and hopefully the clutch pedal is fully engaged. all of this happening while in panic mode as you observe autos coming at you. a manual transmission vehicle should have a starter button separate from the ignition switch. for background i am 60 years old and have driven standard shift cars my entire life and have never encountered such a problem. i believe the clutch lockout feature should be disabled in a vehicle with this combination or a separate starter button be provided. i am convinced i will die in this car either as a result of a crash or heart attack..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2000 miles.

Volkswagen Beetle 2014 Electrical System Review #10631331

VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2014 car safety problem was reported on Aug 02, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 2014, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . the new 2014 beetle i purchased at heritage volkswagen of reisterstown, maryland has left me stranded 3 times since i brought it home. the first time was in front of my house. i put the key in the ignition with the brake pressed, seatbelt buckled, and all doors closed. the key would not turn in the ignition. i was unable to go anywhere. i was given a key and told that the second key had been misplaced and as soon as they found it they would send it to me. i just received it this week. the second time i was stranded was at the columbia mall. the same thing happened and after about 20 minutes, it started. the third time was at my school. it was week before last, one of the hottest days of the summer. i had an appointment after school and so i got out a few minutes early. i got into a 120 degree car and the same thing happened. the windows would not roll down and shutting the door, buckling up, and pressing the brake, the key would not turn in the ignition. i was sweating through all my clothes and feeling panicked. i am 63 and have owned a pt cruiser for over 12 years and wanted a new car for peace of mind that i would not be stranded one day if my pt didn't start. now i am afraid to drive the beetle because i don't know if it will start or not. i have an appointment for the 30 day check tomorrow, which is the earliest i could take it in, but just got a bill for 115.00 for diagnostics. i was told that the first month check was a courtesy, to see if there are any concerns. the car is brand new!! anything wrong with it should be covered with no charge. i am so disappointed and furious and feel that i have been sold a lemon. after reading several posts, by other owners, this appears to be a problem that many vw owners are having. i should have been made aware of this problem when i was looking at the beetle on the lot. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3VWJ17AT1EM. Volkswagen Beetle 2014 problem was reported in ELLICOTT CITY, MD. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
