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.
I purchased the car in 1996. I immediately had problems with the brakes and had to bring the car in many times and was told that nothing was wrong. After the 24 month warranty was up I was told that I needed front rotors and pads and rear calipers and pads. I argued with them (VW America) and they said that they couldn't help because it was out of warranty. I have proof of them saying nothing was wrong for 2 years and then out of a sudden I needed over $500. Worth of work. (tiresize: 15 inch)( dot number: Tire size: 15 inch )
Freezing door locks, broken window regulators, inability to use aftermarket disc brake pads and other items are acknowledged by VW in "technical bulletins" but customer must pay for their errors. I am happy to provide additional info. About this if contacted. Customer should not have to pay for manufacturer errors (acknowledged by manufacturer.)
