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.
Two months ago my passenger side window broke - it was the regulator (cost me $400 +), that got fixed and two weeks ago my driver side window broke, I have not taken it to get fixed until I checked on recalls but I did not locate any. I am sure it is the regulator and will probable cost another $400. Have any others submitted this issue.
Vehicle is in shop for replacement of catalytic converter and mass air flow sensor, both still under warranty because they are emission control. The culprit for the failure seems to be the coil pack has failed. The coil is not covered under warranty as the car now has 43,000 miles and is outside of warranty, cost is about $800. The coil pack failed and was replaced at 19,000 miles under warranty. Was told by dealer to expect to replace the coil about every 2 years. In addition had the drivers window clips fail twice and the window fell into the door, horn shorted 3 seperate times, the dealer finally replaced the relay the 3rd time it came in and that corrected it.

While driving, power window on driver's side fell down into the window seal with no warning. Consumer has tried contacting the dealer for the parts on several occasions. After six attempts, the dealer called consumer to inform that the parts had come in. The defective parts were replaced on August 21, 2002.
This is the second time that my passenger window has fallen into the door. Please could you put pressure to bear on Volkswagen to rectify this annoying and potentially dangerous problem.
