Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Sunroof exploded from inside out while driving on highway. Dealership will not cover under warranty knowing there is a class action lawsuit under review. Other drivers were effected dodging class particles on highway. Interior of car plus myself was covered with glass for the next couple miles until finding a Volkswagen dealership. Super loud explosion noise almost caused me to wreck too. I would not recommend Volkswagen brand to anyone now.”
NHTSA complaint #11404703, filed 2021-03, 29,739 miles“While driving my car I received a warning that these services were not working.blind spot monitor,front assist and rear traffic. I have car net service on this car. After being on the fwy for 2 hours, I finally was able to get off the fwy to turn back on the features, since you must be stopped. It seems that the car net program had sent a report from that day saying everything was fine. I believe when the program sends a report it glitches the software that controls these vital car functions. …”
NHTSA complaint #11062261, filed 2018-01, 49,000 miles“My vehicle is experiencing the exact same symptoms as the vw Jetta TSB # 8715-18. 2015 year miles approx 53k. I am a subsequent owner. Original owner was a rental car company hence the higher mileage. Vw refuses to stand behind the fact that a AC condenser valve should not be sticking at this point and with showing the exact same symptoms as a TSB on the golf I want this reviewed deeper by NHTSA. 1300 ax repair should not be happening to a vehicle that's only 2 to 3 years from dfu.”
NHTSA complaint #10966393, filed 2017-03, 50,000 miles“Just seconds after the epc light came on (I didn't know what it meant) my brakes went out. The brake pedal was stiff and my car had no response in slowing down. Luckily I had been in a position where there was time and space to react and to slow down using the e brake. Just minutes earlier I had been on the highway, as well as in some city traffic - if I lost my brakes at any other moment things could have been deadly. Vw ended up swapping out the entire engine. The camshaft had broken in half. …”
NHTSA complaint #10914204, filed 2016-10, 16,000 miles“I originally took my 2015 Jetta se tsi certified car in to be serviced at the vw dealership because of the steering pin safety warning that was issued because the airbag light and steering light were on and it started having trouble starting and all kinds of instrument lights were showing. I was told I need to replace my battery which I did and they did an 24dr emissions recall to my car. I picked my car up and was told now I have a 'no key' code. I have since had nothing but trouble. I have to start my car in emergency start mode... Erghh. My car began bogging down. …”
