I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT ON THE ANNOYING INCREASE OF CAR LIGHTS DRIVERS ARE PUTTING ON DURING THE DAYTIME HOURS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SUN IS SHINING BRIGHTER THAN MARS. I TALKED TO GEICO, MY AUTO INSURER, ABOUT MY CONCERNS AND HOW CARLIGHTS (DURING THE DAY ONLY) WERE BLINDING ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING. ISN'T THIS A SAFETLY CONCERN AND SOMETHING THE INSURANCE CO. SHOULD BE AWARE OF? THE WOMAN AT GEICO EXPLAINED TO ME THAT IT WAS THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS THAT WERE MAKING CARS THIS WAY NOW. IS THERE A WAY FOR DRIVERS TO TURN THEIR LIGHTS OFF DURING THE DAY AND WHY ARE AUTO MANUFACTURER MAKING LIGHTS LIKE THIS? I AM SERIOULY CONSIDERING A LAWSUIT AGAINST ALL AUTO MANUFACTURERS THAT ARE DOING THIS. THEY ARE ENDANGERING DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AND HAVE IMPAIRED MY VISION IN NORMAL SUNLIGHT HOURS. I DON'T KNOW WHY AUTO MFGS. WERE ALLOWED TO PUT THIS FEATURE IN CARS. I FIRST NOTICE THIS IS FOREIGN CARS LIKE JETTA, MERCEDES AND LEXXUS. NOW I AM NOTICING THIS IN AMERICAN CARS. WHY WOULD THEY THINK CARS SHOULD HAVE THEIR LIGHTS ON DURING THE DAY? WHY WERE AUTO MFG. ALLOWED TO DO THIS? WEREN'T THEIR SAFETY CONCERNS? IT MAKE NO SENSE! CAN YOU EXPLAIN?. *AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in SILVER SPRING, MD. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on May 25, 2000.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with EQUIPMENT:AIR CONDITIONER . FIRST: COIN HOLDER BROKE, NEXT, THE FUEL PUMP. AFTER THAT, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT. THE HEAT GAUGE GOES ON THE "I WILL WORK WHEN I WANT TO, AND I WON'T WHEN I DON'T" ATTITUDE. SPEAKING OF FRONT END BUMPERS, I'VE HAD MINE REPLACED AND FIXED 3 TIMES, STUPID ME, SHOULDN'T I KNOW BY NOW NOT TO GET SO CLOSE TO THOSE PARKING CURBS. NEXT, IT STARTED USING OIL, EVERY 1000 MILES, 1 QT, WENT TO DEALER, GAVE ME RUNAROUND, MECHANIC STANDING BY LISTENING, TOOK MY SIDE, REPLACED RINGS, SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE SITE SOONER SO I COULD TELL YOU ALL THIS.FIXED. MAYBE, HOPE. NOW, CAR DIES ON HIGHWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON ABOVE SPEEDS OF 50+, MOMENTARILY, AND THEN STARTS AGAIN. THE DRINK HOLDER HAS NOW BROKEN, SON HAS TO PUT AA BATTERY ABOVE CASSETTE TO HAVE SOUND COMING FROM ALL SPEAKERS. EMERGENCY FLASHERS STARTED MAKING CRACKING NOISES, ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS?, NOT MY VW. AIR CONDITIONER QUIT WORKING 1 MONTH AGO. WENT TO MECHANIC TODAY, HE SAYS COMPRESSOR. HAVE YOU PRICED A COMPRESSOR? $840. DEALER ONLY PART,GO FIGURE, AREN'T THEY ALL. WIPERS ARE NOT GOOD, REPLACED 2 TIMES. SO GLAD I DON'T HAVE POWER WINDOWS AND AUTO TRANS. I READ WHAT SOMEONE WROTE, "I LOVE MY CAR". IT'S A DAMN SHAME ISN'T IT ,THAT WE PUT THIS MUCH CONFIDENCE INTO A CAR DEALER TO BE THIS DISAPPOINTED. ALL VW JETTA'S SHOULD READ "MADE IN MEXICO" EMBLAZENED - I DON'T KNOW WHERE. IF CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED, POST HERE. I GOT A LEMON..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. WAS NOT PART ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Oct 09, 2003.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL . TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: IN MARCH, 2003, MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A NEW 2000 VOLKSWAGEN CABRIO CONVERTIBLE. WHEN THE CAR HAD 13,611 MILES ON IT, WE NOTICED THAT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS NOT OPERATING. THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS AT THE TIME, SUCH AS THE WINDOW SWITCHES NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND THE FACT THAT THE ALARMS HAD GONE OFF AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES, LOCKING UP THE RADIO. MY WIFE TOOK THE CAR TO THE FORT MYERS DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. WHEN SHE PICKED UP THE CAR, SHE WAS TOLD THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAD BEEN REPLACED, AND THE OTHER PROBLEMS WERE ALSO TAKEN CARE OF. SHE REALIZED WHILE DRIVING AWAY THAT THE ODOMETER WAS SHOWING ZERO MILES, SO SHE RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO QUESTION WHY. THE MEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BRUSHED HER OFF AND SIMPLY SAID IT'S OKAY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. SHE ATTEMPTED TO GET A SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION, AS SHE KNEW THAT CHANGING THE ACTUAL MILEAGE OF AN AUTOMOBILE IS VERY SERIOUS; BUT THEY CONTINUED TO REPEAT IT'S OKAY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. AT THE TIME, THEY NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO EXPLAIN TO HER THAT THEY HAD PUT A STICKER IN THE DOOR JAM SHOWING HOW MANY MILES THE CAR HAD ON IT WHEN THEY ZEROED IT. WE DECIDED TO TRADE OFF THE CAR FOR A NEW MAKE OTHER THAN A VOLKSWAGEN. AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS, IT WAS EXPLAINED TO US THAT THEY COULD NOT GIVE US A FAIR VALUE FOR THE CABRIO IN TRADE FOR THEIR MAKE. WE HAD EXPLAINED TO THEM ABOUT THE STICKER VOLKSWAGEN HAD PLACED IN THE DOOR JAM; AND BOTH SAID IT WAS IMMATERIAL FOR THEY WOULD HAVE TO AUCTION OUR TRADE AS A VEHICLE WITH UNKNOWN MILEAGE. BECAUSE OF VOLKSWAGEN'S ACTIONS, WE'RE BEING PENALIZED APPROXIMATELY $3,000 WHICH IS THE AMOUNT THE OTHER DEALERS INSIST THEY MUST DEDUCT FROM THE VALUE OF THE CAR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE STATE OF FLORIDA SHOULD HAVE PROVISIONS WITHIN ITS LAWS THAT WOULD ALLOW A MANUFACTURER TO ASSURE THAT THE PROPER MILEAGE. *LA.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in CAPE CORAL, FL.

THE CAR WAS MAKING A FUNNY NOISE AND THEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO MINUTEMAN VW IN BEDFORD, MA AND THEY SAID THAT THE OIL PUMP HAD FAILED AND THAT BOTH THE OIL PUMP AND THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $6,320.00. THE 2000 PASSAT HAS 60,586 MILES ON IT AND HAD BEEN IN FOR SERVICE AT 55,478 MILES. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT WHEN THEY SUBMITTED OUR CLAIM TO VW THEY REFUSED TO COVER IT BECAUSE THEY SAID I NEEDED TO PROVIDE COPIES OF EVERY OIL CHANGE RECEIPT FOR THE PAST 4 1/2 YEARS. I WAS ABLE TO FIND 4 RECEIPTS, BUT I DO NOT SEE ANYWHERE IN THE OWNERS MANUAL WHERE IT CLEARLY AND EXPLICITLY STATES THAT WARRANTY REPAIRS WILL ONLY BE PERFORMED IF ALL RECEIPTS FOR ALL SERVICES PERFORMED ON THE CAR ARE PROVIDED. I NOTICED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED ON THIS CAR WHICH RELATE TO ENGINE PROBLEMS AND WOULD LIKE THIS DEFECT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A RECALL.

VEHICLE ORIGINALLY STARTED SMOKING FROM TAILPIPE WITH NO FAULTS TRIGGERED. THEY SAID THE SHORT BLOCK MAY BE DAMAGED. I REQUESTED THAT IT BE SENT OUT TO ANOTHER SHOP TO BE EVALUATED FOR REPAIR. DEALERSHIP REPORTED BACK ON A FRIDAY THAT IT COULD BE REPAIRED. ON MONDAY THE SERVICE WRITER THAT HELPED ME WAS MYSTERIOUSLY NO LONGER WORKING FOR THE DEALER AND THE PART COULD NO LONGER BE REPAIRED AND THAT A NEW SHORT BLOCK NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. REPAIRS WERE MADE IN JULY 2004. IN AUGUST 2004 THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY, AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THEY SAID THAT THE TURBO WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND IT WAS. FEBRUARY 2005 VEHICLE STARTED TO SMOKE AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY. THE NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SAID THAT THE CAR NEEDED TO GO TOTHE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE ORIGINAL WORK. THEY CLAIMED THAT THE ENGINED HAD BEEN OVERFILLED WITH OIL (9 QUARTS) AND THAT IT JUST NEEDED TO BE DRIVEN TO BURN OFF THE EXCESS OIL. THERE WERE NO INTERNAL LEAKS. AFTER DRIVING FOR NEARLY 2,000 MILES, THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I CALLED THE DEALER TO NOTIFY OF THE ISSUE. THAT SAME NIGHT THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I FOUND THAT IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF OIL. I ADDED OIL AND DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THERE WERE NO INTERNAL LEAKS AND THE TURBO WAS FINE. THEY THEN CAME BACK TO TELL THAT THE TURBO WAS AGAIN BAD THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT A COOLANT LEAK MAY HAVE CAUSED THE TURBO TO OVERHEAT. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY COOLANT LEAKS FROM MY CAR. I HAVE SAVED THE 2ND TURBO THAT THEY CLAIMED FAILED BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE FIRST ONE FROM AUGUST OF 2004. AFTER GOING TO PICK UP MY CAR AFTER THE SECOND TURBO WAS REPLACED THE DEALER TOLD THAT THEY HAD RUN THE CAR CONTINUOUSLY AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER SMOKING. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP, THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS RESIDUAL OIL AGAIN THAT NEEDED TO BE BURNED OFF.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Feb 10, 2003.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL . (1) NORMAL DRIVING, REGULAR SCHEDULED DEALER MAINTAINANCE BEFORE THE FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION BECAME DIFFICULT TO PUT INTO GEAR AND NOISE STARTED TO COME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. (2) CLUTCH FAILED AND IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE TRANSMISSION. DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR RECOMMENDED LOOKING AT TRANSMISSION AND THEN DISCOVERED THAT THE CLUTCH HAD FAILED. IMMEDIATE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. LATER THAT DAY, AFTER EXAMINING THE PARTS THAT WERE REMOVED FROM THE CAR IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE SPRINGS OF THE CLUTCH PLATE HAD COME OUT OF THE METAL BRACKETS OF THE CLUTCH. DEALER CLAIMED THEY HAD ONLY SEEN THAT AS A RESULT OF MISUSE BUT DECIDED TO PARTIALLY WARRANTY THE PARTS AFTER DETERMINING THAT I HAD TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THE CAR AND HAD EXHIBITED NO ABUSE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS FIRST INCIDENT TOOK PLACE WHEN THE CAR HAD 23K MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND I HAD OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS NEW. THE SECOND FAILURE WAS AT 73 K MILES IN MARCH OF 2005. THE SAME PARTS FAILED AND THE SAME DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE BY A DIFFERENT VW DEALERSHIP. THE CLUTCH FAILED IN THE SPRINGS BUT SHOWED NO OUTWARD SIGNS OF ABUSE OR EXCESSIVE WEAR. THE CLUTCH HAD APPROXIMATELY 50 K MILES OF USE BUT STILL HAD SIGNIFICANT MATERIAL LEFT ON THE CLUTCH PADS. THE FAILURE OF THE CLUTCH SPRINGS DAMAGED THE FLYWHEEL. AS RESULT I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW FLYWHELEL, THROWOUT BEARING AND CLUTCH PLATE. AN APPEAL TO VW WAS REJECTED AND THEY SAID THAT THE DECISION WAS THE DEALERSHIP'S AND THAT THEY WOULD STAND BY THAT. I CONSIDER THIESE FAILURES TO BE CAUSED BY WEAK PARTS PROVIDED BY VW OF AMERICA. THIS SECOND FAILURE COST ME $1600.00 IN REPAIR COSTS. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in SAN DIEGO, CA.

I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY VW TOUAREG V6. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE DEALER FOR FAILURES IN DESIGN. FOOTLIGHT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS OFF DUE TO TRUNK DOOR LATCH BEING BROKEN AT TIME OF PURCHASE. TIRES WERE WEARING FASTER THAN NORMAL AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS BAD. I WAS GIVEN NEW TIRES, HOWEVER, WHEN I ASKED IF THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, I WAS TOLD YES AND THEY WERE UNSURE WHAT VW WOULD DO IN THE FUTURE. TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT ANY TIME. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A MALFUNCTION THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE NUMEROUS COMPUTER OPTIONS. IT CAME ON AFTER A TIRE ROTATION AND OIL CHANGE AND THE DEALER SAID "DON'T WORRY, IT WILL RESET ITSELF AND GO OFF".RADIO HAS MYSTERIOUSLY STOPPED WORKING FOR 24 HOURS AT A TIME. CAR HAS ACTUALLY BEEN DEAD ON TWO OCCASIONS AND HAS LEFT ME STRANDED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE BATTERY IN THE TOUAREG CAN'T SUPPORT THE CAR AND THE COMPUTER MODULES. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS AS THE BATTERY WAS FULLY CHARGED. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A MISTAKE BY VW AND I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD TO NOT DRIVE IN THE CITY AS THIS MAKES THE PROBLEM MUCH WORSE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY AREN'T SURE HOW THAT HAPPENED, BUT SIMPLY RESETTING THE CAR MADE IT RETURN. CD PLAYER WOULD NOT WORK,CAR WAS "RESET". I FIND THIS CAR TO BE THE BIGGEST JOKE EVER MADE. I UNFORTUNATELY AM OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE LEMON LAW IN MAINE (I HAVE 27,000MILES ON THE CAR). I REALLY THINK THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE IN MY CAR THE LONGER I HAVE THE THING. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WITH THE CAR IS THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY IT COULD STOP WORKING AT ANY MOMENT. I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CARRY A SELF JUMPING SYSTEM IN A PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW $34,000 CAR. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY MY DEALERSHIP WHEN I STATED I WAS THINKING OF SELLING THE CAR, THAT THEY DIDN'T BLAME ME AS THEY HAD HEARD A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT ABOUT THE TOUAREG.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO START. WAS TOWED FOR REPAIR. THIS CHIP HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. 2. CAR BEGAN MAKING SEVERE JERKING MOVEMENTS, RANDOMLY. USUALLY THESE JUMPS OCCUR WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE BUT CAN OCCUR LATER. THE SEVERITY OF THE JERKS IS ALSO VARIABLE. 3. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. 4. THE CAR CONSUMES AN UNUSUAL HIGH AMOUNT OF MOTOR OIL (MORE THAN A QUART APPROXIMATELY EVERY 1,000 MILES). 5. VW WAS RUNNING A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST BUT THEY INSISTED THE CONSUMPTION LEVEL WAS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF ENGINE. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING NUMEROUS MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE SOON AFTER PURCHASE IN 2002. I HAVE ALWAYS TRIED TO NEGOTIATE WITH VW. I HAVE WRITTEN LETTERS AND THEY HAVE BEEN RELUCTANT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM IN A SATISFACTORY WAY. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE LEMON LAW BUT MY TIME ALLOWANCE HAS EXPIRED. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL JANUARY 2006. IN ADDITION TO THE ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALL MY WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN AUTOMATICALLY AS I TRY TO CLOSE THEM. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS. THIS HAS BEEN EXAMINED OVER 5 TIMES. THE PANELS WERE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I AM NOT ABLE TO GIVE AN EXACT DATE OF AN INCIDENT BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY. ALL OF THESE DATES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED. I AM GIVING A DATE OF JANUARY 2002 AS THE INCIDENT DATE (WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED). I FEEL VW HAS EVADED RESPONSIBILITY IN CORRECTING THE PROBLEMS AND HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. THE NUMBER OF FAILURES AND THE INABILITY TO CORRECT THEM IS UNACCEPTABLE. I FEEL MY PROBLEMS WERE NOT ADDRESSED SERIOUSLY AND WERE DISMISSED WITHOUT CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN GENERAL. *JB .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in STAMFORD, CT.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Oct 21, 2005.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL . LIKE MANY OTHERS WE HAD HIGH HOPES AND DREAMS FOR OUR NEW 2003 BEETLE, WE THOUGHT WRONG. LIKE MANY OTHERS I AM FINDING MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLES AND THIS CAR JUST FOLLOWS THE TREND. AS FOR THE CLASSIC VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE BLESSED US WITH ONE OF THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCES THAT WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS NOW SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING A NEW WIRING HARNESSES FOR THE TURN SIGNALS AND HEADLIGHTS (SINCE THE ELECTRICAL JOBS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE FIRST 3 TIMES). WE ARE VERY CALM AND UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE AND GONE IN EVERY TIME WITH A SEMI-POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND ASKED THEM TO JUST FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER BITING MY LIP THE 4TH TIME I WENT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER (PIERRE ANDRE) AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE TO HIM. PIERRE'S IMMEDIATE REACTION WAS TO PAWN THE ISSUE TO A SERVICE ADVISOR (BRIAN ALEXANDER WHO GIVES EXCELLENT PRESENTATIONS ON PARTIALLY BURNED OUT BULBS). AFTER BECOMING A THORN TO PIERRE HE MADE AN UN-GRATEFUL ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, I HAD TO FORCE HIM TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE ISSUE. TO KEEP A LONG STORY SHORT I HAVE HEARD EVERY EXCUSE FROM THIS DEAL SHIP INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: PARTIALLY BURNED OUT BULBS, CORRODED SOCKETS, LOOSE WIRING HARNESSES, DEFECTIVE WIRING HARNESSES, SUN DAMAGE, USER DAMAGE, ROAD DAMAGE. WE ALSO MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP HEAD MANAGER/PRESIDENT KEN EMERSON WHO NEVER ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT US BY ANY MEANS. IN SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ESCALATE THE ISSUE TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY I WAS GIVEN THE VW CORPORATE 1-800-BLOWUP NUMBER, WHICH PROVIDED US SEVERAL USELESS OPTIONS. AT THIS POINT WE ARE BITING THE BULLET AND PLANNING AN ATTEMPT OF THE FLORIDA LEMON LAW; IF WE DO NOT SUCCEED WE WILL SELL IT TO SOME PERSON WHO WANTS A PROJECT VEHICLE. *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in ORLANDO, FL.

I HAVE A 2001 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA GLS VR6. IN APRIL OF 2003 I EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR WHERE ESPECIALLY IN WET CONDITIONS, THE CAR WOULD HESITATE AND MISFIRE THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD BLINK ON AND OFF. IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT WAS LOSING POWER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE IGNITION COIL PACK WAS BAD. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $1300.00 TO REPAIR AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY SIMILAR VOLKSWAGENS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THE MANUFACTURER HAD A RECALL OUT ON THE COIL PACK. I CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY CLAIMED THAT MY ENGINE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL BUT THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME A COURTESY AND COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. IN OCTOBER OF 2005 I BEGAN TO HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY DIAGNOSED THAT MY IGNITION COIL PACK WAS BAD. I AGAIN DID RESEARCH AND READ SEVERAL ARTICLES ONLINE THAT VW WAS RECALLING THE COIL PACK FOR MY PARTICULAR MODEL. I CONTACTED VW AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IN THEIR SYSTEM, MY CAR DIDN'T QUALIFY. I EXPLAINED THAT THERE HAS ONLY BEEN ABOUT 20,000 MILES PUT ON THE CAR SINCE THE LAST OCCURANCE AND TO NO AVAIL WOULD THEY HELP ME OUT. THEY SAY THAT BECAUSE OF THE AGE AND MILEAGE ON MY CAR THEY WOULD NOT DO ANOTHER COURTESY AND BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE COIL PACK RECALL, IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER FRIENDS WITH VW JETTAS THE SAME YEAR AS MINE AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T VW LISTED MY CAR IN THE RECALL. HAVING THIS ISSUE TWICE IN THE SHORT LIFESPAN OF THE CAR SIGNALS THAT THERE IS A DEFAULT IN THE PART AND IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in PENNINGTON, NJ.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I OWN AN AUDI A6, 2000. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 18 MONTHS AND 2 1/2 YEARS FOR A RE-ACCRUING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. FOR OVER 50,000 MILES THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED BY AUDI AND AUDI ONLY. RECENTLY THE CAR WENT OUT OF WARRANTY, HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL NOT RESOLVED AND BOTH FLOW AND AUDI HAVE WASHED THERE HANDS OF IT. IN-ADDITION, I JUST RECENTLY LOST MY 4 AND 5 GEAR AND ONLY AFTER I TOOK THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WE FOUND THAT FLOW AUDI HAS BEEN DOING BAD WORK ON THE CAR SUCH AS GLUING PARTS BACK TOGETHER (YES, GLUING PARTS ON A $55,000 CAR) AND INSTALLING VACUUM HOSES UP TO THE WRONG PARTS. IN-ADDITION, THEY STRIPPED OUT BOLTS AND LEFT THEM IN PLACE WITHOUT FIXING THEM, THESE BOLTS HOLD THE ENGINE TOGETHER AND IN-PLACE. (ASK ME ABOUT MY TIMING BELT ISSUE, TO LONG OF A STORY TO WRITE ON A WEB-PAGE). THE BOTTOM LINE IS AUDI AND FLOW AUDI REFUSE TO WARRANTY THE CAR ANY FURTHER, HOWEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL NOT FIXED AND ITS SHOWING NEW CODES. I HAVE MUCH MORE INFORMATION... ALSO, ASK ME ABOUT MY A4 (BETTER STORY) FLOW AND AUDI HAVE COST ME OVER 8,000.00 IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS AND I HAVE CALLED EVERYONE FROM THE TOP OF FLOW TO THE TOP OF AUDI. THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NO RESPONSE. MY NEW MECHANIC IS WILL TO TALK AS WELL... THERE ARE NO LEMON LAWS AND THERE IS NO ONE TO HELP THE BUYER. IT SEEMS LIKE NO-ONE WILL TALK TO ME SINCE IM NOT BUYING A NEW CAR. I REALLY NEED HELP AND ADVICE. *NM .0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in GREENSBORO, NC.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Apr 04, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I PURCHASED A USED 1998 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA GLX SEVERAL YEARS AGO. WITHIN A YEAR OF PURCHASE, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FAILED TO OPPERATE PROPERLY. I HAD THE REGULATOR REPLACED. A YEAR LATER THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW FAILED. THAT REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. A YEAR LATER THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE FAILED AGAIN. BEFORE I COULD GET IT FIXED, THE REAR DIVER SIDE WINDOW FAILED AS WELL. BOTH REGULATORS ARE BEING REPLACED. THE TOTAL COST OF THESE REPAIRS WILL BE OVER $2000. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT THE SAME PROBLEM CAN OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE SAME VEHICLE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR VW VEHICLES AND YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO CORRECT IT - BE IT A DESIGN FLAW, MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, ETC. FAILED REGULATORS ARE BOTH A SAFETY AND SECURITY PROBLEM. I HOPE THAT NHTSA TAKES THESE COMPLAINTS SERIOUSLY AND INVESTIGATES THE PROBLEM. *NM.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in WASHINGTON, DC.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on May 01, 1998.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT . IN EARLY MAY I HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH OUR 1998 VW BEETLE WHICH WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE PART. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, AND I PUSHED DOWN THE BRAKE PETAL. THEN I CHANGED GEARS TO REVERSE AND GENTLY STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED AND HIT A TRAILER AT MY PLACE OF WORK CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH THE BEETLE AND TRAILER. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICING AT VALLEJO VOLKSWAGEN (1401 SONOMA BLVD, VALLEJO CA) THE PREVIOUS FRIDAY, SO IT WAS SURPRISING THAT THE CAR WOULD MALFUNCTION SO DANGEROUSLY AFTER HAVING JUST BEEN SERVICED. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO VALLEJO VOLKSWAGEN MONDAY AFTERNOON. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THIS WAS DUE TO A FAULTY BRAKE LIGHTS SWITCH AND THAT THEY HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I LEFT THE CAR THERE OVERNIGHT AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION WAS INDEED THE FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THE PART IN QUESTION WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL AND HAD APPARENTLY BEEN REPLACED IN MY CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2003. VALLEJO VOLKSWAGEN DISAVOWED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCIDENT AND ATTRIBUTED THE MALFUNCTION TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OF THE BREAK LIGHT SWITCH. HOWEVER, IF THIS PART IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO BREAKDOWN DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TARE THEN IT SHOULD BE INSPECTED WHEN THE CAR WAS SERVICED. VALLEJO VOLKSWAGEN REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE SWITCH AND HAD THE AUDACITY TO CHARGE ME FOR DOING SO. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS SITUATION AND FEEL LIKE BOTH VALLEJO VOLKSWAGEN AND VOLKSWAGEN ARE LIABLE FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT AND ARE LIABLE FOR PLACING ME IN SUCH A DANGEROUS AND UNCONTROLLED SITUATION. INDEED, I AM EXTREMELY RELIEVED THAT THE CAR HIT THE TRAILER, AND GOD FORBID NOT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING WHICH COULD HAVE EASILY OCCURRED HAD I BEEN IN A CROWDED PARKING LOT. ADDENDUM: I RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT AS OF MAY 30TH 2006 THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL OF THE RECALLED BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. *NM.Vehicle was involved in a crash.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on July 03, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT . 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.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in SAN DIEGO, CA. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. WAS NOT PART ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.

ON 7/13/06 I PURCHASED A NEW 2006 VW PASSAT FROM BERT SMITH VW IN ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA. I TOOK DELIVERY AT 5PM ON FRIDAY 7/14/2006. I HAVE 4 MAJOR PROBLEMS. BERT SMITH VW SERVICE PERSON (NOEL APONTE AND HIS SERVICE MANAGER MICHAEL) AND THEY SAY THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE BELOW ISSUES. FIRST ISSUE: I HAVE EXTREME IDLE SHAKING OF THE ENGINE. THIS IS CONSTANT - MEANING YOU WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION TO STOP IT. I CAN SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND STILL FEEL THE SHAKING. I CAN PUT THE GEAR IN PARK OR IN DRIVE AND IT IS STILL SHAKING. SOMETIMES THE SHAKING IS MILD (LIKE THE SHAKING WHILE BRAKING) OTHER TIMES IT IS SEVERE...SO SEVERE YOU CAN SEE THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKE. SECOND MAJOR ISSUE: I DRIVE MY CAR OF A PARKED POSITION (OR AFTER COMING TO A ROLLING STOP AT A LIGHT) AND THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS TRYING TO PULL OR LUNGE FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS PREVIOUSLY ON THE BRAKE. AT THIS TIME I HAVE TO PUT EXTREME PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP IT FROM MOVING FORWARD. THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND I AM OFF. I COME TO ANOTHER LIGHT, THE SAME THING HAPPENS. REGARDING THESE 2 ISSUES, HERE IS A THREADED DISCUSSION ON THE WEBSITE VWVORTEX.COM. HTTP://FORUMS.VWVORTEX.COM/ZEROTHREAD?ID=2619540 ALL OF THESE OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. ALL FEEL VW IS GIVING THEM THE RUN AROUND. I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS. IS THERE A TSB ON THIS PROBLEM? THESE ISSUES ARE ON-GOING THE MOMENT I LEFT THE BERT SMITH DEALERSHIP ON FRIDAY 7/14/06. THIRD ISSUE: THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE SEVERE THROTTLE LAG WHILE DRIVING AND AT A STAND STILL. I AM AT A LIGHT, I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND THERE'S SIGNIFICANT LAG TIME BETWEEN THE TIME THE CAR BEGINS TO ROLL. FOURTH ISSUE: THE FRONT END SQUEAKING REALLY BAD. IT BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND BERT SMITH REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE STRUT BEARING ON THURSDAY 7/21. IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN. THE 2ND FRONT BEARING HAS TO BE REPLACED, AND MAYBE THE ONE THAT WAS ALREADY REPLACED HAS TO BE FIXED AGAIN. *NM .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in CLEARWATER, FL.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Jan 09, 2007.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT . ON 1/25/2007 OUR VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR REPAIR OF AN ENGINE VIBRATION. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS THE TIMING BELT AND IT WAS ADJUSTED APPROXIMATELY 4 DEGREES AND PROMISED TO BE READY ON 1/27/07. BELT ADJUSTMENT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND CAR WAS NOT PICKED UP. ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS WAS PERFORMED, INCLUDING COMPRESSION TEST OF ENGINE, AND TECHNICIAN CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN FOR ASSISTANCE. AFTER WEEKS OF DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING WE WERE TOLD THAT THE IN TANK FUEL PUMP THAT WAS REPLACED AT A DIFFERENT VW DEALERSHIP ON 9/11/06 HAD FAILED. RESEARCHING NHTSA I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A RECALLED PUMP. BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS ALMOST 3K OVER THE WARRANTY OF THE PART AND VW ALREADY SATISFIED THE RECALL VW WOULD NOT COVER A REPLACEMENT. THE NEW FUEL PUMP ALSO DID NOT FIX THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. DEALERS DIAGNOSIS WITH VOLKSWAGEN'S ASSISTANCE CONTINUED UNTIL 2/8/07 WHEN WE WERE TOLD THAT A VALVE LIFTER IN THE CAM ASSEMBLY HAD FAILED CAUSING THE VIBRATION. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED A COMPLETE "CYLINDER HEAD REPLACEMENT" AT A COST OF ABOUT $4,500. MY HUSBAND ASKED TO SPEAK WITH THE MECHANIC AND DETERMINED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS ONLY TO ONE VALVE LIFTER. MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO FIX WHAT WAS BROKEN AND ONLY FIXED THE DAMAGED LIFTER WHICH WAS ESTIMATED AT ABOUT $500. THE DEALER AGREED TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR, BUT WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE WORK BECAUSE THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT CYLINDER HEAD MIGHT BE FAULTY. OUR VEHICLE WAS FINALLY REPAIRED AND ABLE TO BE PICKED UP ON 2/19/07. COST OF REPAIRS WAS NEGOTIATED WITHIN OUR SATISFACTION, HOWEVER, THE SERVICE WAS NOT TIMELY AND FEEL THAT THE PARTS IN THE VEHICLE ARE BELOW STANDARD. NOW WE HAVE AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM WE DID NOT HAVE BEFORE TAKING IT IN FOR REPAIR. TWO DAYS AFTER WE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP WE FIGURED OUT THE FUEL GAUGE IS NO LONGER WORKING PROPERLY AND HAS A FALSE READING OF APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY. *JB.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in KEEZLETOWN, VA.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on May 24, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL . TWICE, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS REMAINED ON UNCONTROLLABLY - INTERMITTENTLY AT FIRST, THEN PERMANENTLY. THIS FAILURE WAS TROUBLE-SHOT AND REPAIRED BY THE DEALER BOTH TIMES. IN EACH CASE, THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAD FAILED. FROM STUDYING THE SWITCH PART NUMBERS, IT APPEARS THE SUFFIX HAS ALSO TWICE CHANGED TO A LATER VERSION - ALTHOUGH I DON'T BELIEVE THEY WERE INSTALLED IN THAT ORDER IN MY CAR (SEE PN'S BELOW). I BELIEVE I HAVE THE LATEST VERSION CURRENTLY INSTALLED. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE FAILURE MODE, AS IT NOT ONLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE (DRIVING AROUND WITH BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY ON, BUT IF LEFT ON FOR PROLONGED PERIOD, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT BULB SOCKETS GET EXTREMELY HOT AND IN MY OPINION HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO MELT THE PLASTIC SOCKET/REFLECTORS AND POSSIBLY CATCH FIRE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE ABS AND CRUISE CONTROL BECOME INOP, THE THROTTLE BODY ALIGNMENT IS DISTURBED CAUSING THE CAR TO BEHAVE TERRIBLY ON ACCELERATION AND MANY CEL-TYPE LIGHT ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. FAILURES OCCURRED: 1ST TIME: @ 34540MI, 4/7/2005. 2ND TIME: @ 49,746MI, 5/24/2006. ORIG S/W PN 3B094551A (FROM FACTORY). 2ND S/W/1ST REPLACEMENT PN 3B0945511_ (ASSUME BASIC PN), 3RD S/W/2ND REPLACEMENT PN 3B0945511B). I HAVE NEVER HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON MY 1984 VW SCIROCCO - I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAD DRIVEN IT OVER 174K MILES! A FAILED BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON THIS PASSAT HAS MUCH GREATER IMPACT (LIGHTS, ABS, THROTTLE, CRUISE CONTROL) WHEN IT FAILS THAN IT WOULD ON THE SCIROCCO (JUST LIGHTS), AND IT WAS THE PASSAT BRAKE LIGHT S/W THAT FAILED TWICE - DUE TO POOR DESIGN/RELIABILITY. AMAZING AND UNACCEPTABLE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in PITTSBURGH, PA. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Mar 08, 2008.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT . THE FAILURE WAS THAT THE LOOSE SPARK PLUG WIDENED THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND THAT CAUSED THE LOUD VIBRATION IN THE ENGINE. IT ALSO AFFECTED THE FUNCTION OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM, TOO. SO, I WAS TOLD BY THE RIVERSIDE VW DEALERSHIP THAT THE WHOLE CHAMBER HAS TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $5,400. THE RIVERSIDE DEALERSHIP MADE A CONTACT WITH NEW CENTURY DEALERSHIP IN GLENDALE, CA AND THEY DID THE TUNE-UP ON APRIL 5, 2004. IT WAS CLEARLY THE MECHANIC WHO DID NOT SCREW THE SPARK PLUG TIGHTLY. IT WAS THE HUMAN ERROR ON THE PART OF THE DEALERSHIP. I COULD NOT USE THE CAR DUE TO THIS UNNECESSARY ERROR THAT COULD BE PREVENTABLE. I HAVE BEEN TAKING MY JETTA TO ALL THE VW DEALERSHIPS TO DO MAINTENANCE SERVICES AND REPAIRS, AS WELL. MY FEELING IS THAT THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE PART WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS ARE AT NO COST DUE TO CARELESS ERROR. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in RIVERSIDE, CA.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Oct 16, 2007.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE . ON OR ABOUT 2002 I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO VOLKSWAGEN ABOUT MY 2002 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHENEVER IT RAIN THE BACK FLOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR HAVE WATER IN IT. WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY I CARRIED MY CAR INTO THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY NEVER FIXED MY CAR. WHEN MY WARRANTY RAN OUT I STILL COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT VOLKSWAGEN AND NOTHING WAS DONE. I ALSO TOLD VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT I BELIEVED THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAD SOLD ME A LEMON BUT VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. YEAR 2007 VOLKSWAGEN USA SENT ME A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE SUN ROOF ON MY 2002 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT, THEY (VOLKSWAGEN) STATED THAT A RECALL ON THE SUN ROOF HAD BEEN RECALLED, AND TO TAKE IT TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL AND I AM STILL HAVING PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. AS OF NOW I HAVE RUST DAMAGE ON THE FLOOR OF MY CAR AND I BELIEVE THAT VOLKSWAGEN USA SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE 2002, AND I AM STILL HAVING SINCE VOLKSWAGEN USA DID THE RECALL. I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALLED VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

IF I DECIDE TO SELL ME CAR THE PROBLEM WON'T GO AWAY SOME PERSON WHO EVER IT IS WILL END UP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE 2002 AND THAT'S NOT RIGHT. I BELIEVE THAT VOLKSWAGEN USA SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM NOT JUST TO SELL THIS CAR AND PASS THE PROBLEM ON TO SOME INNOCENT PERSON WHO MIGHT END UP BUYING THIS CAR. PLEASE HELP ME VOLKSWAGEN RECALL ON THIS CAR WAS OCTOBER 2007. *TR.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in HAMPTON, VA. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. WAS PART ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.

THIS VEHICLE DESIGN ALLOWS FOR POOR REAR VISIBILITY IN GENERAL; HOWEVER, IT IS AMPLIFIED IN LOW LIGHT SITUATIONS WITH THE COMBINATION OF HIGH REAR HEAD RESTS, A GLARE ON THE BACK GLASS FROM THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT, AND IF YOU HAVE A REAR SPOILER THIS MAKES FOR A REALLY BAD COMBINATION. NIGHTTIME VISIBILITY IN A JETTA IS THE EQUIVALENCE OF WEARING A BLIND FOLD. OH AND THE SALESMAN NEGLECTED TO MENTION THAT THE ALL WEATHER PACKAGE INCLUDED A TRUNK THAT WILL NOT SHUT OR STAY SHUT IN COLD WEATHER. EVEN THE REPLACEMENT LATCHES NEED REPLACING. VW IS MAKING BIG BUCKS ON THE CONSUMER HOPING TO SAVE A FEW DOLLARS WITH FUEL ECONOMY. VW NOT ONLY FAILS TO ADDRESS OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECTS WITH THESE VEHICLES, BUT TO EXACERBATE THE SITUATION THEY ATTEMPT TO LOCK YOU -THE CONSUMER INTO THEIR MONOPOLY, FOR EXAMPLE:KEYLESS REMOTES IN WHICH THE BATTERIES ARE ONLY REPLACEABLE BY VW DEALERS, A SYNTHETIC VW OIL, A VERY COSTLY TRUNK LATCH, THAT WITH MY EXPERIENCE YOU END UP REPLACING ANNUALLY...THE LIST GOES ON. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO OLD FASHIONED CUSTOMER SERVICE? TO SUM IT UP MY JETTA HAS ALOT OF BUGS...NOT TO WORRY, I'M SURE VW HAS PATENTED THE PESTICIDE, JUST HOPE I'M ABLE TO AFFORD THAT-CAN USE THE MONEY I'M SAVING IN FUEL ECONOMY. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in CLIFTON FORGE, VA.

I PURCHASED A 2002 VW IN 2005. I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT IN DEC '08. SHORTLY AFTER THE COLLISION PLACE REPAIRED MY CAR. THE VEHICHLE STARTED MISFIRING AND ESSENTIALLY WASN'T DRIVABLE. THE CONTROL ARM BUSHING WERE REPLACED $800 (AT THE VW PLACE) AND THE SERVICE DEPT SAID THAT THEY WOULD CHECK FLUIDS IN PARTICULAR THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T HAVE THE UPDATED TRANMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) AND HAD TO REPLACED ( $700 PART AND 300 LABOR) THE SERVICE TECHNICAN DID STATE THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST STEP IN DIAGNOSING AND CORRECTING THE PROBLEM AND THAT THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NOT A RECALL. WELL $1000 SPENT ON THIS STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND NOW THEY SAY THE NEXT STEP IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A CAR THAT HAS 87K MILES ANOTHER 4K. WELL, I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT VW IS UNRELIABLE AND DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR NAME, PRODUCT OR REPUTATION. THIS IS SHAMEFUL. I AM VERY DISSAFIED AND LEARNED THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB RELATED TO TRANSMISSIION, TCM ON THE VW 2002 - 2006 MODEL.

I HAVE TWO PROBLEMS, ONE WITH TEMPERATURE COOLANT SIGN. MANY JETTA'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM, IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE CAR, SIGN ALWAYS COMES ON. THIS CAUSES SIGNALS AND COMPUTER PROGRAMS IN THE CAR TO BE CONFUSED, AND IS ALWAYS A DANGEROUS LIGHT BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CAR'S COOLANT OR RADIATOR. I HAVE REPLACED THIS PART ABOUT TWO TIMES THROUGH A MECHANIC SHOP WITH A VW PART TWICE. STILL IS A FAILURE, AND I READ MOST JETTAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT VW CAN NOT FIX THIS EXPENSIVE PART FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. ALSO I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY ALTERNATOR ONE DAY AGO. MY VEHICLE WAS FORCED TO STALL ON THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING ME ALMOST TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. FOR SOME REASON MY CAR LOST ALL ITS POWER, BATTERY WAS ONLY ONE OR TWO WEEKS OLD, AND NOW MY ALTERNATOR DIED. MY CAR HAS ONLY 71,400 MILES ON IT, IT IS NOT VERY OLD, IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN TO SEE AN ALTERNATOR DIE THAT EARLY IN THE CAR, MAKES ME WONDER WHAT OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS I HAVE IN THE FUTURE, LET ALONE WHAT I HAD IN THE PAST. NOW I HAVE TO FIX THIS CAR, AND WILL TAKE ONE WEEK TO FIX AND GET THE PART READY, COSTING ME ALMOST $600 IN REPAIR. NOT ONLY DID MY CAR BREAK DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY BUT THE CAR SMELT LIKE IT WAS BURNING, VERY DANGEROUS!!THIS A VW DEFECT, AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO ALL VW OWNERS ABOUT THEIR ALTERNATORS, IT DOESN'T FEEL SAFE IF THIS CAR KEEPS BREAKING DOWN, TIRED OF THIS CAR.OTHER RECALLS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE MAKE ME WANT TO QUESTION WHETHER TO DRIVE IT NOT, IF IT HAS A COUNTRY WIDE BRAKE PROBLEM IN THIS CAR. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in BRUNSWICK, OH.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Apr 03, 2010.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I WAS DRIVING EAST ON INTERSTATE 95 WHEN THE ENGINE IN MY CAR (2007 VW GTI VIN: [XXX]) SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. I WAS IN THE THIRD LANE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONING ON AND A FEW SECONDS LATER, TURNED IT OFF. AT THAT INSTANT, THE CAR CEASED TO ACCELERATE. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND MANAGED TO SAFELY GLIDE OVER TO THE WARNING LANE, JUST BEYOND EXIT 22 OR JUST BEYOND THE OFF RAMP TO EXIT 21. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE TO NO AVAIL. THIS WAS A HIGHLY ALARMING INCIDENT SINCE THE CAR WAS JUST OVER THREE YEARS OLD AND HAD ONLY 64000 MILES ON IT AND WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN 2007. I HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS LAST YEAR BUT THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR WOULD QUICKLY KICK BACK IN. THIS TIME HOWEVER, IT WENT COMPLETELY KAPUT. I REPORTED THE PREVIOUS INCIDENTS TO A VW DEALER AND THEY HAD A TERRIBLE TIME ASCERTAINING WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. ULTIMATELY, THEY DETERMINED IT WAS A FUEL SENSOR ISSUE AND REPLACED THE FUEL SENSOR. AFTER THE APRIL 3RD INCIDENT, MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A VW DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY TIMING BELT HAD BROKEN AND THAT AS A RESULT, THERE WAS DAMAGE DONE TO THE ENGINE TO THE TUNE OF APPROXIMATELY 6K. I WANT TO REPORT THIS SINCE THIS COULD EASILY HAVE OCCURRED IN THE HOLLAND TUNNEL FOR EXAMPLE OR ON A DARK ONE LANE ROAD. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE AND I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PREEMPT THIS FROM EVER HAPPENING. *TR.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in JERSEY CITY, NJ.

DEAR MADAM / SIR, TWO DAYS AGO I HAD AND ACCIDENT WITH MY "2008 AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY CAR".

THE THREE (AGENT, INSURANCE INSPECTOR AND DEALER) INSPECTED THE CAR AND APPROVED A $1,440 SPENDING TO FIX IT. SINCE I GOT SURPRISED; I ASKED THE REASON OF THE VERY LOW REPAIRING LABOR AND PARTS EXCHANGE COSTS OF A SUB-FRAME VW PART # VW1J0-199-313-M (LARGE STEEL PART TO SUPPORTING THE ENGINE, SUSPENSION AND TRANSMISSION), TRANSMISSION OIL PAN PART #VW09G-321-361-A (PLACE WHERE THE OIL TRANSMISSION IS KEEP), AND A CENTER SHIELD ENGINE-TRANSM AXLE A LARGE AND HEAVY UNDERBODY PROTECTING METALLIC PART. THEY SAID THESE DAYS IT IS A COMMON RULE TO RECYCLE USED PARTS FROM SIMILAR VEHICLES, AND LOW COSTS OF THE "USED PARTS" UTILIZED TO FIX MY CAR (NO MATTER THE KEY ROLE OF THE PARTS). AT THIS POINT I AM ASKING MYSELF: WHAT ABOUT SAFETY? IN ANY WAY? NOT ONLY USED PARTS FROM OTHER CARS HAVE NOT QUALITY INSPECTED, EVEN WORSE I GUESS THIS PRACTICE ENCOURAGE THE CARS STILLING. ARE WE ALL (CUSTOMERS) AWARE OF THIS?, IS IT ANY ".ORG" OR ".GOV" ORGANIZATION WHICH REGULATES THESE USED PARTS MARKET? ARE WE PROTECTING OUR SAFETY?

HAVE HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH MY 2004 NEW BEETLE. ON 5/12/10, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT WAS A FAULTY "TURBO RECIRCULATION VALVE" AND REPLACED THE PART (PICKED UP SAME DAY-$250). ON 5/18/10, I TOLD THEM I WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHERE THE RPMS GOES UP BUT THE SPEED OF THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE..CLOSE TO REDLINE. THIS TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (PICKED UP ON 5/25/10-$4,269). WHEN I RECEIVED THE CAR I TOLD THEM THE CAR STILL DID NOT PERFORM LIKE IT SHOULD. ON 5/26/10, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND NOW THEY TELL ME THE TRANSMISSION CONTROLLER UNIT AND CIRCUIT WAS FAULTY AND HAD TO BE REPLACED...THIS TIME IT TOOK A WHILE (PICKED CAR UP ON 6/29/10 - $1,888). AROUND THE WEEK OF JULY 9TH I CALLED THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THE CAR STILL FELT IT WAS SLIPPING AT TIME WHEN THE WEATHER WAS HOT AND I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN IT. ON, 7/14/10 I TOOK THE CAR IN AGAIN TO DEALER AND THEY HAD IT FOR A DAY...NOW THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM SO I PICKED UP THE CAR ON 7/15/10...NO COST THIS TIME.

MY 2004 VW BEETLE AT 44,000 MILES HAD TO HAVE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REPLACED, I ALLOWED THE VW DEALER TO DO ALL THE WORK.. THE PROBLEM THAT OCCURS IS IT JERKS AND WON'T SHIFT GEARS WHEN ON THE FREEWAY OR IN OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. OVER A YEAR LATER AT 54,000 MILES MY SAME CAR IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND OCCURRING ON A SO-CALLED "BRAND NEW" TRANSMISSION VW CLAIMS TO HAVE PUT IN. MY PARTS WARRANTY FROM A YEAR AGO RECENTLY EXPIRED. A CAR SHOULD NOT HAVE TWO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS UNDER 54,000 MILES! I FOUND SEVERAL MESSAGE BOARDS FULL OF THE SAME COMPLAINT, SAME PROBLEM IN THE BEETLES FROM THIS TIME PERIOD. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS ON PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY OR ROAD. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS ONLINE. I AM FILING MINE WITH YOU IN HOPES YOU WILL START INVESTIGATING THESE COMPLAINTS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED DRIVING FROM THEM. *TR.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in STUDIO CITY, CA.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on May 31, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT . I CURRENTLY OWN A 2008 VW BEETLE AND IT'S AN AUTOMATIC. WHEN FIRST GETTING THE CAR I COULD TELL THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED NOT SMOOTH AT ALL. WHEN DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION FROM A RED LIGHT MY CAR HAD TROUBLE WHEN PRESSING THE GAS. IT HAD A PAUSE. THEN WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGH WAY WHEN I WAS CHANGING LANES TO GO INFRONT OF SOMEONE I PRESSED THE GAS AND MY CAR JUMPS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ONCE AND A WHILE. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AT ON 5,000 BUT THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS! THEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD IN THE POURING RAIN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR. WHEN I WENT THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH I ROLLED DOWN MY WINDOW AND IT MADE A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE THAT I THOUGHT THE WINDOW WAS GOING TO SHATTER. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW MOTOR. THEN THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND BACK WINDOW. BOTH MY HEAD LIGHTS KEEP GOING THROUGH $20.00 BULBS. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUSES. ON MY CONVERTIBLE TOP THE SIDE COVERS STOPPED GOING IN AND OUT. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THOSE. THEN ON MY WAY TO WORK ALL THE LIGHTS FOR THE WHAT GEAR YOU WERE IN BLINKING. WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT WAS RUNNING IN EMERGENCY TRANSMISSION MODE. THEY HAD TO REPLACE SOMETHING WITH THAT. RIGHT AFTER THAT WAS REPLACED GOING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR MADE A GRINDING NOISE SO I TURNED AROUND TO TAKE IT BACK AND IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE FUEL INTAKE THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE. THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT. *TR.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in HIRAM, GA.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on Apr 20, 2011.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL . POOR OBD ON 2007 VW JETTA FOR ENGINE SPEED SENSOR. [XXX] IS THE VIN OF THE CAR, RECENTLY THE ENGINE BEGIN TO STALL/DIE SOON AFTER STARTING, UNABLE TO HOLD THE IDLE SPEED BUT THERE WAS NO MIL/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, UPON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT USED TO RUN FINE IT CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. ONE FINE DAY MY WIFE AND 2.5 MONTH BABY WERE DRIVING ON I-75 SOUTH TO DETROIT DOWNTOWN AND CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY- IT JUST STOPPED FOR NO REASON NO MIL OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT EVEN AFTER THESE EVENTS. IT CAME BACK UP RUNNING AGAIN AFTER SHE WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. ON THE SAME DAY WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING BACK FROM THE OFFICE IT STOPPED WHILE GETTING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AGAIN NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. IT WAS THE SCARIEST DAY, WE TOWED THE CAR BACK HOME EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STARTING AGAIN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ON 25TH MARCH 2011 I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING THEN I SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON DASH BOARD FOR THE FIRST TIME, AND DROPPED IT OFF AT FOX AUTOMOTIVE DEALER IN ROCHESTER HILLS MI. WHERE THEY WERE NOT COURTEOUS IN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND FOUND THE ENGINE SPEED SENSOR [CRANK ANGLE SENSOR] WAS FOUND BROKEN, REPLACEMENT OF THE SAME SEEM TO HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. HOWEVER THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE OBD DID NOT WORK WHEN IT SAW SEVERAL MISFIRES AND ENGINE SPEED ISSUES, WHICH COULD HAVE PREVENTED MY WIFE AND BABY NOT TO DRIVE TO WORK ON FREEWAY, THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT VW DEALER SHOULD ALSO ADDRESS SUCH SERIOUS ISSUES WITH SOME CONCERN AND IMPORTANCE WHERE THEY DID NOT GIVE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO DROP OFF THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR THE SAME DAY I TOWED THE VEHICLE BACK FROM MY WIFE'S OFFICE, AFTER FEW DAYS OF GAP I WAS ABLE TO DROP THE VEHICLE WHERE THEY WORKED ON IT AFTER FEW DAYS OF WAIT TIME, THEY EVEN RECOMMENDED ME TO DRIVE BACK THE CAR WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IF I NEED VEHICLE THE SAME DAY OR EARLY.

VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999 car safety problem was reported on May 10, 2011.VOLKSWAGEN SEAT BELTS 9999, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL . I RECENTLY PURCHASED A VW BEETLE IN MAY OF 2010, FOR MY BIRTHDAY FROM HOLLYWOOD AUTO BROKERS IN LOS ANGELES, CA. THE CAR RAN SMOOTH FOR ABOUT A COURSE OF FIVE TO SIX MONTHS, I HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP EARLY ON BECAUSE MY HEAD LIGHTS WERE OUT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR, A JERKING AND EXTREMELY WEIRD DECELERATION OF THE CAR WOULD BEGIN, BUT IT WOULD "POP BACK TO NORMAL" AFTER A WHILE, MAYBE THREE TO TEN SECONDS. THIS HAD GONE ON AND HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE FIVE MONTHS AFTER I BROUGHT IT. I FINALLY MADE IT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND HE RODE WITH ME ON A TEST DRIVE AROUND THE CORNER AND OF COURSE IT DIDN'T REPEAT THE PREVIOUS SHOW OF DEFECTS. HE ASSURED ME THE CAR IS JUST BEING BROKEN IN. A YEAR GOES BY AND I DECIDED I WANT TO TRADE IN MY CAR FOR ANOTHER CAR, SO I HEAD TO NISSAN. I TEST DRIVE A CAR AND LOVE IT AND THEN GO IN FOR THE PAPER WORK. THE GUY RUNS MY VIN TO SEE MY CAR VALUE AND COME BACKS AND TELL ME MY CAR TITLE IS SALVAGED. TO MY DISBELIEF AND DISGUST, I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY FINANCIAL COMPANY, AL FINANCIAL OF GLENDALE, CA THAT I AM LEASING THE CAR FROM. THEY GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND AND ASSURE ME THAT THE TITLE IS CLEAN AND NOT A SALVAGE. I CONTINUE ON MY INVESTIGATION AND COME TO A CARFAX WEBSITE TO GET THE REAL FACTS ON MY DEFECTED VEHICLE. THE INFORMATION REVEALS THAT NOT ONLY IS THE TITLE SALVAGE BUT IT HAD BODILY DAMAGE AND HAD BEEN TOTALED OUT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY FROM IT'S PREVIOUS OWNER. THE CAR HAD BEEN BROUGHT BACK FROM MEXICO AND REGISTERED IN THE STATES AGAIN AS A NEW CAR I BELIEVE. I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS SITUATION ASAP AND GET SOME CLOSURE ON A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT IS MESSING WITH MY INCOME AS I AM A TRAVEL NURSE FOR HOSPICE PATIENTS. RECENTLY THE WATER PUMP HAS GONE OUT AND I'M NOT SURE YET IF I NEED TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKETS. I HOPE I CAN HEAR AN RESPONSE IN A GOOD ENOUGH AMOUNT OF TIME SO I CAN WORK OUT AN REIMBURSEMENT OF SOME KIND WITH PAYMENT ON EITHER BEHALF. *TR.Volkswagen Seat Belts 9999 problem was reported in LONG BEACH, CA.
