VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001 car safety problem was reported on Oct 21, 2001.VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . i have a 2001 volkswagen golf with the tdi engine (engine code alh). last night and this morning i had problems with the ecu power relay ("relay 109"). symptoms are sudden stalling of the engine with the inability to restart for 3-5 minutes. this morning during my morning commute my engine stalled 4 times, 3 of which were on an extremely busy freeway during rush hour traffic. this is a known and well documented problem with the tdi engine. there have been a large number of reports of this problem (see http://forums.tdiclub.com and search for "relay 109" for examples). volkswagen has released an updated relay which fixes this failure mode. luckily i was aware of this problem so i was able to purchase a replacement and install it myself. vw knows about this problem and it is a severe safety issue... the engine will stop running without warning and may not be restarted for several minutes. luckily this morning i was only traveling at approximately 15 mph when the first stall happened. i recognized the problem and after i was able to restart my engine and continue on, i got into the right-hand lane, assuming that it would happen again. the next time it happened i was traveling at about 55 mph, and fortunately i was prepared to stop the car safely. this happens to vws with tdi engines up to and including the 2001 model year. the old relay part number is 357906381a and the new replacement is 1j0906381a. this situation may not be considered serious since the replacement part is only about $25 and installation takes less than 10 minutes, but i feel that it is a serious safety issue. *la.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 51000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 12, 2003.VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE . under normal driving conditions, the vehicle consumes engine oil at a rate that leaves the resevoir empty before it would be refilled during an oil change (all the oil is consumed within 5000 miles, the recommended oil change interval). volkswagen maintains a policy that using one quart of oil per 1000 miles is normal for a 'modern engine,' and refuses to repair vehicles who do not meet the consumption requirement. this issue is known by the company to affect a number of the 2.0l engines on their golf and jetta models, with the cause being attributed to piston rings being installed upside down. reinstallation of the rings is the recommended solution to the problem. however, dealers are reluctant to even perform the consumption tests on suspect vehicles, much less perform the repairs. furthermore, they falsify findings when reporting to the customer, underestimating oil consumption..Mileage was 39000 miles.

Volkswagen Golf 2001 Exterior Lighting Brake Lights Switch Review #10161528

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 03, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH . i own a 2001 vw golf. since i purchased this car, the brake light switch has failed once per year. thus, i have had to replace this faulty brake light switch four times in four years. the faulty switch has caused my epc light to come on while i am driving, and to stall the vehicle and prevent it from shifting gears. vw issued a recall for faulty brake switches in the 1999-2002 jetta and 1998-2002 beetles, so i don't know why a comparable fix has not been made available to 2000-2002 golf owners. this problem is rampant. a search of any vw chat board will reveal numerous owners who have experienced this problem. vw should recall the brake light switches on the older golfs as it has done with other models, or it may pose a safety hazard to the many golf owners out there (who are not likely to purchase any type of vw again). there are no signs to indicate that the brake light switch will fail before it fails. each time it fails, the car must be brought to a dealer or service shop for switch replacement. i have records of my brake light switch replacements over the past four years i have owned my golf, and can send you copies if you need them. thank you. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 51232 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001 car safety problem was reported on July 18, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ALTERNATOR/GENERATOR/REGULATOR . i own a 2001 vw golf. last year i had replaced the alternator (failure) at gunther vw dealership (in coconut creek, fl), the date is 07/21/2005. i have paid for the service and parts. i want to mention that in spite of the fact i have paid for a new part they installed a re-manufactured one. this year in july the alternator seemed to give me problems once again. it happened on july 17 2006. the next day 7/18/2006 i called gunther vw to schedule an appointment. i was asked what is the problem and i told them is the alternator (i have the expertise, holding a bs and ms in engineering with an automotive major). they could not schedule this appointment earlier than july 29, 2006. on that date (7/29/06) i took the car to the dealership and they confirmed it was the alternator, but they could not replace it under warranty (1 year from 7/21/06) because they claimed the warranty had expired and suggested to call vw - the manufacturer. they denied the warranty. the fact is that specific part (the alternator failed prior that date and i called the dealership prior the expiration date, but because of the scheduling availability they told me to bring the car after almost 2 weeks). i explained this issue to vw, but they don't want to do anything about this problem and the dealership has the same position (because they back up the manufacturer). i consider that this treatment is absolutely no fair, and i feel robbed (paid over $700 for that service + re-manufactured part, thinking is vw does quality), and now because their own system i am turned down, when i ask for that part replacement under warranty. please help me to overcome this injustice, and have my vehicle restored to a safe condition. *jb .Volkswagen Golf 2001 problem was reported in MARGATE, FL.

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001 car safety problem was reported on Dec 20, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with VISIBILITY . i have a 2001 vw golf gls. one day my car's truck door can not be locked, i took it to vw dealership for inspection. initially i though it was just some wiring problem, but after the certified vw technician checked every possible things that caused the truck lock malfunction, it was so called "comfort control module" not sending signal and electricity to the truck lock. no big deal, it's just a truck lock, no need to worry, so i refused the $900 estimated repair amount for a new comfort control module (ccm) replacement. the vw technician further explained that it was ok not to replace it if it is just the truck lock malfunction, but if anything that is acting funny such as windshield wipers not moving, doors lock by itself, power windows can not roll down, or dashboard light going on and off by itself, then it is important to replace it. no major problem for a year, then suddenly driving in the rain at night, the windshield wipers malfunction, they will not move at all. i can barely see what was in front of me in high speed on freeway in the rain. i tried to open the windows so i can see better so that i can pull over safely. i tried to lower the windows , but the windows didn't come down. i slowed down and pulled over by guessing, luckily no car was behind me or next to me. i got out and checked if there was anything wrong or what obstructing the windshield wipers. i found nothing, it just simply stop working along with my power windows. i went to the dealer after the rain and again they were caused by the malfunction ccm. since it is not safe to drive a car without a pair of functional windshield wipers and windows, i was recommended to have the ccm replaced. i went online and found that many vw owners have some similar ccm complaints and concerns and i personally think that the ccm is a big safety concern, this is why i am filing this complaint to see if it can minimize the danger and safety. thank you for reading. *tr.Mileage was 72000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 25, 2010.VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 2001, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with SEATS . 2. driver's seat lock mechanism (forward & aft motion) failed to engage 1. driver attempted to move the seat forward to use the car for an errand, and the seat would not lock in place. any pressure on brake pedal resulted in the seat moving back, putting the foot controls out of reach. driver is 5' 3" tall. 3. local dealer looked at the car, determined that "dust and debris" jammed the under-seat mechanism. tech cleaned and lubed the piston mechanism, resulting in a temporary fix. "if it ever fails again," the service manager said, "we might have to replace the part." it should never have failed at all! this is a design defect that should be 100% fail-safe. the dealer/manufacturer should replace such defective units for free. instead, the dealer said the part is out of warranty, and thus charged $90+tax to repair a safety defect. outrageous! the problem really stemmed from the original lubricant gelling in the "piston in barrel" mechanism, preventing the piston from engaging the central seat lock rail. the consumer has no easy way to un-jam the complex mechanism. if this had jammed while the car was in motion, on a highway, the driver would have lost control and likely been injured or killed. luckily not in this case. the design is defective when it results in even one failure. no other manufacturer uses such a complex, vulnerable seat lock mechanism that is prone to failure. they all use a simple system of levers, metal rods and springs to accomplish a reliable seat lock. please ask vw to recall cars with such piston in sleeve systems to insure 100% reliability...before someone gets killed. *tr.Mileage was 73000 miles.
