Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle trunk light indicator shows that vehicle trunk is open. Intermittently turns off then comes back on. Trunk interior light stays on. This will drain car battery if light isn't unplugged leaving people stranded. This seems like it is a faulty design on behalf of Volkswagen. Volkswagen should perform an action and remedy for the vw CC owners affected by this problem.”
