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.
No problems until May 2002. Car stalled, ran rough, felt like it was getting no gas, then would surge, then stall. VW in charleston, SC, has had car dozen plus times, and never found problem. Mechanic checked fuel system, electrical system, codes presented, went through technical manuals. Also many electrical parts, I.e., distributor, fuel pump, mass air flow sensor, ecg, etc., were replaced. Car has been totally unreliable since that point. You never know when it's going to die out. Happened to us on I-95; 18-wheeler had to swerve to prevent accident. Car now sitting in driveway. From what I can find on the internet, many people have had this same problem.
