50,900 miles speed sensor related to transmission went out. It had to be replaced and it took 4 days to get the part in. I could not drive the vehicle because I probably would have wrecked it so I had to get a rental car. The dealer seemed to think it was just fine for me to continue to drive the vehicle. I disagree because I have no control over the speed of the car.
There was a vehicle recall for the flasher. They fixed this under warranty.
Windshield wiper fliud started to leak onto the ground for no good reason. Had to make a special trip to the dealer for them to fix this. The installed a washer supply line hose.
Cooling system had leaks. They installed a new flange.
Air bag light came on, seat belt buckle was replaced as a result.
Power window on passenger side would not roll down. They fixed under warranty.
Brake Switch malfunction, brake light was staying on all the time. They fixed under warranty.
Shifter would not release from park. Brake switch malfunction, they replaced the brake switch.
When recirculate air button was pushed the brake light would come on. The wrong fuse was installed.
Keyless remote was inoperative. They reporgramed it.
Front windshield already is cracked. I will have to have it replaced as well. It cracked from a small grain of sand hitting it.
This car has been an overall pain in the rear. I would not tell anyone to buy one. Or a volkswagen period. This is one of the worst mistakes I have ever mad in purchasing this vehicle.
Man, I don't know. One look through this site for Volkswagens between 2000-2005 (for example) and I see complaint after complaint. Didn't Volkswagen's used to be good? If the opinions on this site indicate anything, it's that Volkswagen quality control has taken a giant slide down, heck I'd say they're almost at GM's level now.
