VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE 1999 Safety Review #708851
VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE 1999 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 1999.VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE 1999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . WHILE TRAVELING ON I70W THROUGH INDIANA, VEHICLE BOTTOMED OUT EXTREMELY HARD RESULTING IN MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL. INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING CLEAR DAYLIGHT DRY CONDITIONS IN A NON-CONSTRUCTION ZONE. APPARENTLY, AFTER CROSSING A CONCRETE BRIDGE, THERE WAS AN INDENTATION IN THE INTERSTATE ROADWAY WHERE THE CONCRETE ENDED AND THE PAVEMENT BEGAN. THE IMPACT WAS AT A SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT PORTION OF THE CHASSIS (DIRCTLY BEHIND THE ENGINE) MADE CONTACT WITH THE ROAD SURFACE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO RESULT IN A SHOWER OF BLACK ASPHALT FOLLOWING THE VEHICLE (AS I LOOKED THE REAR VIEW MIRROR). THE IMPACT WAS STARTLING AND SEVERE. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED CHUNKS OF BLACK ASPHALT HANGING LIKE ICECYCLES FROM THE LOWEST PART OF THE FRAME ASSEMBLE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE ENGINE AND TRANSAXLE. I DROVE THE THE CLOSEST VW DEALER (IN ST. LOUIS OFF I 70W) AND HAD THE VEHICLE PUT ON A LIFT TO CHECK THE DAMAGE. THE PLASTIC NOISE ABATEMENT COVER WAS TORN AWAY AT THE POINT OF IMPACT AND THE DRIVERS SIDE PORTION OF THE STEEL ASSEMBLEY WHICH THE "A" ARMS (STEERING ARMS) ARE CONNECTED TO WAS CRUSHED AS WELL. THE DEALER COMMENTED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAD NO OPINION AS TO THE MANUFACTURERS POSITION. I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND CAME AS A COMPLETE SURPRISE TO ME, THE DRIVER. MY HEART AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DID NOT REGAIN NORMALITY FOR QUITE SOME TIME AFTER THE EVENT. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND OPENED AN INCIDENT NUMBER. THEY TOOK THE INFORMATION BUT WERE OTHERWISE NONRESPONSIVE. AT THE VERY LEAST, IF THE VEHICLES MINIMUM GROUND CLEARANCE IS NOT DESIGNED TO ACCOMODATE NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS OR THE SUSPENSION CANNOT COMPENSATE, I THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD ISSUE A WARNING TO OWNERS. THANK YOU. *AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3VWCF21C1XM. Volkswagen New Beetle 1999 problem was reported in RICHMOND, VA. Original Owner.

I MENTIONED THE CAR RECEIVED MASSIVE DAMAGE, YET THE AIR BAG SYSTEM DID NOTHING TO LESSEN MY INJURIES BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WORK AS I HOPED. I PURCHASED MY VW BEETLE WITH THE SAFETY FEATURES IN MIND, BUT I NOW HAVE LEARNED THAT NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE NON DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAGS IS COMMON. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT MY INJURIES WERE NOT LIFE THREATENING, YET FEEL CHEATED THAT MY VEHILCLE'S SAFETY FEATURES DID NOT WORK WHEN I NEEDED THEM MOST.

VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE 1999 car safety problem was reported on May 29, 2003.VOLKSWAGEN NEW BEETLE 1999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT ABOUT 55 MPH, WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, AND MY CAR WENT UP ON THE CENTER DIVIDER. I COULD NOT STEER MY CAR OFF THE DIVIDER, AND THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING AS WELL EITHER. I IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENED WAS THAT THE ENGINE STOPPED AND MY CAR POWERED OFF WITHOUT WARNING (THE CAR HAS A HISTORY OF FAILED WARNING LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS GOING ON FOR NO REASON, HAVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED ONCE, BUT NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM). MY CAR ENDED UP SPINNING OUT ACROSS THE ROAD AND SLAMMING INTO A TREE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IF THE TIMING WAS DIFFERENT BY A SPLIT-SECOND, I WOULD HAVE PROBABLY HIT THE TREE WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE, OR SLAMMED HEAD-ON INTO A LIGHT POLE. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND I SPLIT MY HEAD OPEN AND HAD TO GET STITCHES. I AM VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR, AND ANOTHER ONE OF IT'S STUPID FAILURES ALMOST KILLED ME. *JB.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 55000 miles.
