2016 Volkswagen Golf Owner Comments

problem #3

Jul 042016

Golf Sportwagen Limited 1.8L I-4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,797 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

When driving the car would have a misfire (per the codes pulled from the dealer) stutter and have a loss of performance that was very noticeable and light up the EPC notification until the car was turned off and back on again. Volkswagen does not have a fix for this. I reported my safety concerns to customer service and they refused to replace my vehicle even though this is the 2nd time this has happened with the car having less than 2000 miles on it.

problem #1

Aug 202016

Golf Sportwagen Limited 1.8L I-4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,658 miles

When driving the car had a misfire (per the codes pulled from the dealer) stutter and have a loss of performance that was very noticeable and light up the EPC notification until the car was turned off and back on again. Volkswagen does not have a fix for this. I reported my safety concerns to customer service and vehemently requested to be released from my financial obligation to the car and receive a refund of the money I put down. When the misfire happened this time, I was making a left hand turn when the car started shuddering and moved very slowly with traffic coming at me from the other lane. I barely missed causing an accident because of this problem. This is also the 3rd time I have had this problem with less than 2,800 miles on the car. I am awaiting a response from VW Corporate.
