Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I took my Volkswagen Passat in for an oil change and check up and was informed that I have a bad front left wheel bearing, which is a safety issue. I was advised not to drive the vehicle on the highway due to risk of the bearing locking up the wheel. The wheel bearing is currently on a nationwide back order due to excessive demand. The wheel bearing replacement part was recently modified due to a known problem. I was informed that it is unknown when the part will be available for replacement. My Volkswagen Passat is a 2007 and only has 29,000 miles. …”
NHTSA complaint #10414032, filed 2011-07, 29,000 miles“Upon receipt of the vehicle from the dealership, a shuttering or vibration has been noticed between 65 and 80 MPH. Original diagnostic efforts yielded a confirmation of the behavior from the dealership, but no solution. I brought the vehicle home and noticed that the lug bolts were not torqued appropriately. Tightening down the wheels improved the shaking for a short period of time, but the behavior returned within 24 hours. Subsequent diagnostic efforts by the dealership have yielded only a minor vibration at speed description with no proposed resolution.”
