I drove the car to a meeting on Thursday evening, Jan 4th, 2018. Parked it in a residential home office parking area in Santa Fe, nm at 6pm. At 6:10pm another person arrived to the meeting and said she saw flames by a red car. It was my Golf. Several of us went out with pots of water and a hose to contain the fire. Moved the other vehicles away from it to avoid it spreading. The flames came down from the engine onto the ground in front of the bumper. It was smoky and smelt horrible. We were able to contain the fire. When the fire dept arrived they used a special tool to pry the hood open and used the residential garden hose to douse the engine to stop the smoldering and reduce the heat of the vehicle to assure it would not ignite again. The car was assessed as totaled. I just bought it from VW uptown abq. It was a tdi that had the modification for the emissions class action suit.
NHTSA recall number:15V705 manufacturer recall number: 23R1 exit ave43, while I tried to turned right for small curved the vehicle was braking. That day I just went to repair my tire I got some nail in my tire I'm not sure that dealer put the air enough or check my tire pressure or not? I just got vehicle 40days and dealer ship not put gap that not over $2000 for my new car but they put vwcare for $2000 for me. Recall for new vehicle incomplete before sold for me I got a report that dealer didn't send that vehicle for repair. First time buyer new car no gap but has vwcare for $2000. I'm asking about recall they not answer my question.
The contact owns a 2015 Volkswagen Golf. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15V705000 (engine and engine cooling, service brakes, hydraulic) and was unable to determine when the parts would become available for longer than a month. The dealer and the manufacturer informed the contact to wait until the second notice was mailed to determine when the parts were available. The manufacturer was unable to provide a time frame that the parts would be supplied to the dealer. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
