Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The epc light came on while driving. The car suddenly lost power, I kept having to take my foot off the gas, and then reapply, it eventually got up to a decent speed on the interstate, then suddenly lost all power regardless of what I did. Was almost hit by an 18 wheeler. This is the most dangerous and ridiculous thing to build a car that tells it to shut off when it first senses a problem. You guys almost cost me my life!!! This is the first vw I've ever owned and was told I would love it. …”
