2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen Other or unknown Problems

“This car was purchased as a certified vehicle after receiving the emissions fix. After less than 10,000 miles and only one year of ownership, all my dashboard warning lights came on (including airbag error) and the floor mats were soaked when I started my car after a severe rain storm. I was told the sunroof drains were plugged and caused the electrical issues. The drain being plugged with debris is considered an external factor and therefore the repairs are not covered by the warranty of this certified car. …”

“Just in front of the shifter and behind the center storage console, metallic trim on plastic peeled up leaving a razor sharp edge. I did not see this defect. As I pulled my keys out of the console, the smallest finger on my right hand was badly sliced, causing quite a lot of bleeding. Had I been driving at the time, this could have caused an accident because of the surprise, pain, amount of blood and the distraction caused by those things. Fortunately, I had just parked at my home and was able to run inside and stanch the blood flow.”

“The vehicle infotainment system has become unusable (screen distortion) affecting tire pressure monitor, backup camera, traction control settings (preventing emissions inspection), service notifications and other vehicle systems only accessible through this unit. Dealer offered little assistance. System has theft protection making the dealer the only method of repair. Dealer refused to unlock a used component that could fix the problem.”

“Clock spring failed at 52,000 miles--affecting both the airbag and horn. Vw refused to reimburse me for the repair, despite their clock spring recall on multiple vw models, that was initiated by NHTSA investigation.”

“Gearshift surround has foil plating over plastic. Plating flakes off at entry point to storage cubby causing razor cuts in hand and fingers. This can happen whether driving or stationary.”
