This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
At less than 27K miles, I had to replace the brake pads and rotors. The dealer said the rotors for the New beetle are notoriously thin, and have to be replaced almost as often as the brake pads. This repair cost me $950. My roommate, another VW New beetle owner had the same problem at 31K, many other complaints were registered on beetlebuzz.com, when it was in operation.
