I brought this car about 3months ago andrive one day ABS error so took to mechanic he hooked to machine say rear wheel driver side wheel sensor so got that changed then it gave more code say computer not communicating an also the other sensors out an tcs plus steering asst. So I went online to find out this is a common problem that VW can't even fix.but there still allowed to sale them with out a fix so now I have to guess if I have brakes or tcs an forgot the park brake has a code as well so will anybody fix this problem or do more people have to die in crash or waste money taken it to volkwagan an not get it fix to funny an lights on parked or drive can't clear codes thanks
While driving in DC and also while stationary my car engine begins to stagger or shake repeatedly and the fuel pump and injectors are also giving out the exhaust system feels backed up epc light goes on and off constantly and air intake manifold looks out of sorts spark plugs go out very fast as well.
Driving on a rainy day the ABS brakes skid slightly and and then the ABS light the traction control light the parking brake the airbag light it also says (fault/ ABS stabalization control (ESC) and next message is air bag fault all turn on then turn off a few days later they are all solid and staying on mechanic says it's a bad speed sensor let's see it's not repaired yet
NHTSA recall number17V509: I had my epc dash light for my vehicle turned on while driving on the highway to my job on 6/14/18. The drive was really rough and bumpy and the exhaust was fuming with emissions from the back.I eventually got to my job, offed my car and had to get my car towed to my local mechanic on 6/18/18 where he found that the fuel pump module was faulty. He charged me $323.30 out the door for the fuel pump module and labor. I contacted VW to seek for reimbursement on 6/22/18 but was told there is a "pending recall" and that it has not become active yet so they cannot issue me a reimbursement until then. As per NHTSA this recall was known since 8/16/17 and it has now been nearing a year without any resolution. I am seeking to get my amount reimbursed as soon as possible and hoping that NHTSA will be able to assist in this.
Takata recall. On a daily basis my car loses all electrical power and shuts completely off while driving on a city street, highway and has even happened while turning. It's a tremendous safety concern, as I have to stop in the middle of the road, put the car in park and try restarting. This has caused several car pile ups behind me. VW stated they are unable to pay to have this recall fixed and stated that I would be responsible for replacing the fuel pump and fuel module. I am not able to cover these expenses. This should be the responsibility of VW corporate to cover and fix this recall.
