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.
Driver and passenger windows go down all by themselves without the key even being in the ignition. Yes it is available to be fixed. My safety could be at risk if the window goes down and i'm not at home and some stranger lets themselves in my car and waits for my return. I've gone to break and i go out to my car and the window is half down. Dealership replaced something related to the windows unknown to exactly what. No bells or whistles its happened at least 6 times now once on the passenger side the rest on the drivers side. Started when it got really really cold out.
Center dash screen goes black occasionally which prevents using the backup camera, radio, and phone. Sometimes it will reboot by itself after several minutes, other times I have to shut the car off, wait, and restart the car. It doesn-??t always reboot the first time. This has happened at least 6 times.
The contact owns a 2018 Volkswagen Beetle. The contact stated that the driver's and passenger's side windows would lower and raise independently, and without warning. The contact stated that the epc warning light was illuminated and the vehicle loss power when light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.
The driver side window is defective. The window shutters up & down all by itself, both in park, and while driving. When it does this, I can't shut the window using the window up & down button. The window goes down 1/2 while driving and then locks. I had it to tynans dealership in Aurora co 3 times now. They replaced the locking mechanism back in Oct. It helped for about a month. Now it is doing it again. There are times I have gone into the store, came back out, and my window was down 1/2 way - and I never rolled it down! I never leave my windows down while away from the car. I wish I could attach video - here is the youtube link: Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=_Q6owmb_F5I
The window keeps shuttering up & down after getting in the car and shutting the door with ignition on.. the window doesn't close all the way, and the auto door lock doesn't work. The window shutters up & down all on its own. Brought car to dealership they replaced the door lock. This still did not fix the problem. I have a video showing the issue after the door lock was replaced.
