Abs and stability control became inoperative at around 50mph. It's a 55mph road thats heavily trafficked since its near a port. I had to stop the car on the side of the road since we almost crashed into an 18 wheeler. Fortunately we were close to home I drove the car at a reasonable speed just to get home. After that incident we have stopped using this vehicle since it gets even more dangerous every time, especially when it rains. Since then brake light has come on and hydraulic and suspension has been bad. This happened last year when pandemic was still full force and without a vehicle. Had to save and buy a more reliable vehicle for our own safety. I know this is a really good car but i really hope y-??all can help me fix this since it-??s really not the consumer-??s fault. I-??ve checked there is a recall for this but my -??Jetta-?? is not in those vehicles that were recalled. I really cant drive the vehicle therefore i have no use for it. Please let me know if something could be done since i wouldn-??t like to pay out of pocket for something that could be done by the manufacturer and even save our and others life-??s in the future when more vehicle owners come forward. Thank you for your time.

While will driving 70 mph on I-96, left front strut/coil/dampener failed, the coil spring became partially offset and separated laterally from the remaining portion of the coil. The portion of the coil offset began rubbing on the front tire sidewall. Fortunately, I was located 5-7 miles from home and my local vehicle repair shop. A dangerous and potentially very dangerous development. See attached images..

January 10,2017 had car towed to dealership. Right rear coil spring broken into 3 pieces. Left rear cracked. Both replace under extended warranty w/$100 deduct. Car had 77,695 miles. March 13, 2017 car towed due to left front coil spring broken covered under extended warranty w/$100. Deduct. I had them replace the right coil spring and they found mounting bracket broken along with bearing. This was not covered under extended warranty, costing me $532.01. My complaint is why would the springs break like that" I have owned many cars over the years and I am not rough on them. I avoid pot holes and man hole covers as much as possible, so why have 3 out of 4 broken and the bearings and mount break on the other, all within 9 weeks of each other" this is very costly now and I am an older woman and I can't afford these repairs. I am not happy with VW car.

My 2010 VW tdi sportwagon eats up the inside of the tires, very quickly. I just purchased my fifth set of tires for a car with less than 70,000 miles on it. I've had the alignment checked three times, and it continually shows to be within specs. The first two times, I had a VW dealership check the alignment, and both times they told me there was nothing they could do. I just had a private mechanic check the alignment, and he said I couldn't have a more perfect alignment, according to VW's specs. The last set of tires I purchased were rated for 55,000 miles, but I only got 15,000 out of them before the insides were worn down into the belts. This is a very dangerous situation since the rest of the tire looks new, and unless you get the car up on a lift, or lay down on the ground to deliberately look at the inside of the tires, you cannot see the damage taking place, and placing the operator in a situation where a blow-out can occur without warning. Plus, not to mention the extremely high cost of tire purchases to operate this vehicle.
