Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“These problems have occurred throughout the past 4 years, and have been documented with the dealer. When my lease was up, my vehicle was inspected, and I was informed that the mouldings have been a continuous problem, especially in states that have warm weather because the glue starts to melt which causes the moulding to fall off. No safety defect listed in the summary.”
NHTSA complaint #720681, filed 2000-03“Sporadically the brakes will go out when the brakes are applied. Pedal feels hard. Does not go to the floor. Dealer replaced master cylinder. In addition jack was assembled with improperly machined spidle, so that a sharp ridge on the spinsle's thread may have remained prior to recall, recall repairs performed (95v-054).”
NHTSA complaint #809726, filed 1998-03“Door lock froze, not opening w/key. Windows rolled down & then making clicking noises when trying to roll window back up. Needed to pull window up by hand. Air conditioner makes noise when turned on. Windshield cracked due to stress. Received recall for nood latch, but unable to get replacement parts. Paint is cracking. Radio goes out. Vw says that there is a factory defect, but have not helped repair these problems.”
NHTSA complaint #829563, filed 1998-12“Anti-theft alarm activated while vehicle was being driven at highway speeds. This cut power to the engine. Dealer explained that the alarm was triggered by the radio not being properly installed which became loose and eventually triggered the alarm.”
