“17v509 recall #. Fuel pump control module could cause power outage and already has. Twice. And they are still refusing to fix this. I've had to replace my battery and two months later was stranded because I lost power while stationary.”
NHTSA complaint #11044381, filed 2017-11, 32,000 miles“I have had an issue with a gas smell that arises from the engine compartment for over 4 years-- I was encourage to change my fuel pump by vw dealer-- but that was not the problem. I was encouraged to only put premium grade a gas and fuel injector cleaners which I did repeatedly, unfortunately the smell worsened until the day I went to register my car and I was told that there was a visible fuel leak from under the manifold and it was a slow drip that was evaporating off the engine head. I was told the car could combust at any time. …”

After driving the vehicle home again it died. I took it back to the dealership where they replaced the fuel pump module, washer and control unit.

NHTSA complaint #11083179, filed 2018-04, 66,000 miles“Takata recall on november 11, 2017, I took my car to tony Volkswagen in waipahu, hawaii to replace the takata air bags. It took one whole year for their service department to get the part and get back to me. Terrible service. On august 3rd, 2018, I received a takata recall again saying it was not replaced. The name of the service advisor was 51448 aaron chan from tony Volkswagen in waipahu hawaii. This is my complaint. It was never replaced in the first place. Unethical and fraudulent!!! I could have gotten into an accident all this time thinking it was fixed.”
