“This is my second GTI. I believe there is a problem with the car or the tires but in 15000 miles I have had at least 7 tires with bubbles or damaged very easily. (at the same time I leased this car I leased a second one that has 30000 miles and has had only 1 tire problem. I filed a complaint with vw and I am waiting for their response. I will take the car today again as they returned it on friday and as soon as I drove a few miles in bumper to bumper traffic the tire light went off. I am not driving this car again until vw assures me there is no problem . …”
