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.
No engine light came on and I lost power up hill all of a sudden and was almost hit by a car and a semi in back of me. I took it to dick hanna in vanc. Wa and they looked at it. They thought it was the mass air sensor. I called volkswagon and they only would offer to pay 50/50 on the job. But this is after I just paid $1300 for the 40,000 mile check up. Then I refused I said I wanted to go to another dealer and have it looked at. Volkswagon then said that they might not pay anything on it if I did go to armstrong, (where I originally bought the car) when I asked them why they are willing to pay 100% to others with this problem they said they review these cases (case by case). When asked why would they not offer 50/50 if I went to armstrong they got really nasty on the phone. I think that volkswagon needs to be investigated, there sounds like there is something illegal going on.
Numerous electrical compnents have failed and been replaced. The misfiring on acceleration causes car to thrust forward after applying the throttle. I consider this to be a safety hazard, as I was almost struck by on-coming trafic in an intersection.
