Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“During yearly maintenance work, dealer stated on multi-point inspection that tires were inflated to 36 p.s. I. When I checked tire pressure with gauge, all 4 tires were at 20 p.s.I. There was no TPMS light on the dash. The owners manual lists in bold letters, TPMS. However, it is really indirect TPMS. What is not mentioned in the owners manual, is that if all 4 tires are underinflated the same amount, the TPMS light will never illuminate, ever. I think this fact should be mentioned in the owners manual. …”
NHTSA complaint #11319948, filed 2020-04, 28,000 miles“Trim on the shifter bezel peels off in a way that presents a sharp blade like surface at the edge nearest the storage bin. This results in cuts to the user. The area is difficult to see and is often where users reach. Cars should not produce sharps of this nature in the cabin. My wife cut herself while driving. Vehicle in motion on a city street.”
NHTSA complaint #11355598, filed 2020-09, 51,725 miles“2017 Golf has been nothing but a nightmare. [1] 2018-2021, it was Infotainment system that I had to repair 3 times; once under warranty, twice out of pocket. Stupid navigation system malfunctions every time they upgrade the map or something and caused another visit to the dealer for replacing the entire radio and that little disk in the glove box. How many times would anyone do this during ownership, every year? I gave up fixing that dumbest navigation infotainment whatever, after paying thousands of $$ twice. …”
