Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Car was parked during incident. Found back glass completely shattered. It appears to have spontaneously exploded as the trim was approximately 1 ft away from the car and any loose glass was on the outside of the car only. There was no indication of any impact or vandalism. Contacted vw service dept who states they have never heard of anything like this happening and indicated no recalls or service bulletins. When looking online there was in fact several reports of vw spontaneous exploded rear glass and even more reports of exploding sun roofs. …”
NHTSA complaint #10706071, filed 2015-04, 114,000 miles“Power windows do not operate in sub-freezing temperatures. With no ice or frost on windows they just do not want to move in very cold temperatures, 30 degrees f and below. Notified dealer, their response was to reset the window controller which gets the window working until the next sub freezing temperature event. No attempt was made to determine the cause of the failure. Because the windows need to move to open the door in this car and a trip to the dealer is required to get the windows working again this could be a potential safety concern.”
