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.
We have a 2001 VW beetle and while driving on the interstate in mn, the entire plastic bottom panel separated from the auto. The panel got caught in a rear tire, causing the vehicle to temporarily lose control, then this piece of panel that is about 3' square blasted into the windshield of the car behind. This panel is removed for oil changes, engine repair and fluid fills. The mechanic said this happens with all the beetles, but the panel had to be replaced. I am concerned about the aspect of road debris and the loss of control while driving 70 mph.
