The driver side window broke twice. The car alarm goes off when it rains. The hatch open indicator light comes on when it rains. The battery had to be replaced at 15,000 miles. It wouldn't hold a charge. The gas cover broke and wouldn't lock one time. The car was recalled and had to be brought in to be repaired one time (yet another day showing up late at work & without a car).
The car handles very well. It's a fun car! My only concern is the amount of money I'm going to have to come up with once my 2 year warranty expires next month. The amount of repairs on this car in the past 11 months is insane!
I have had my beetle for less than a week, and it is raining like crazy, here in Los Angeles. I was a little concerned because my hatch open indicator light came on, too! I pulled over off the highway, thinking my trunk was open, when in fact it was not. That very same day, I went to lock my car and the little beep came on (You know, the one that notifies you that your car is locked.) I turned my back, and not a second later the alarm goes off. Quite strange!!! I'm not upset...I'm just concerned. Other than that everything is going fine. I thought I would get better gas mileage, but oh well.
