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.
It was raining. My windshield wipers were on. White smoke came up from my steering column for a couple seconds. What makes this particularly frustrating, this happened on a 94 Jetta I once owned. This happened on a 96 Jetta my sister owned. Eventually, something in the steering column burned out and had to be replaced. We both paid for those to be replaced. Now, years later, I am faced with another burning steering column. I hope to find that VW is owning up to poor design, and when this one finally breaks, that they foot the bill for their failure. Referred to this site by this link: www.sportcompactracing.com/vbulletin/printthread.php?T=36741 I did a quick yahoo search to find that this was not a jinx that hit just my family.
