FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BEFORE 3,000 MILES. CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE. DEALERSHIP FIXED IT ON THE 3RD TRY AFTER GETTING VW INVOLVED. IT WAS A FAULTY GAS TANK, LEAKING FUEL INTO THE LINES. THEY REPLACED THE TANK AND THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. LANE ASSIST FEATURE SEVERELY MALFUNCTIONS SINCE DAY 1 OF OWNING THIS CAR. NEARLY EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT, THE VEHICLE STEERS ITSELF INTO MEDIANS, INTO CURVES OR INTERSECTIONS, INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, ALWAYS WHILE I'M ACTIVELY DRIVING STRAIGHT. I CONTACTED VW; THEY RECOMMENDED HAVING THE SYSTEM INSPECTED. DEALERSHIP COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH IT, STATING IT WAS JUST A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR. I WILL NOT JUST TURN THAT FEATURE OFF WHEN I'M PAYING FOR IT. I ASKED VW TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK, AS IT HAS INCREASINGLY BECOME MORE DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. THEY DENIED MY REQUEST. I HAVE CONTACTED THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU IN HOPES OF GETTING A MORE SENSIBLE OUTCOME, BUT VW HAS ONLY OFFERED TO SETTLE MY CONCERNS FOR $2,500, WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC. THE AUTO START-STOP ACTIVATED, AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS STOPPED. TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING AGAIN SO I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, WHICH IS TYPICALLY WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTS, BUT THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY SILENT AND THE CAR WAS DEAD. I TRIED RESTARTING IT TO NO AVAIL. I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE TWO MONTHS AGO, AND VOLKSWAGEN REPLACED THE BATTERY. AFTER THE CAR DIED, I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING THE BATTERY WAS LOW AND I SHOULD DRIVE TO RECHARGE IT, HOWEVER AT THAT POINT THE BATTERY WAS TOO DEAD TO DRIVE. I REALLY WISH THIS ERROR MESSAGE WOULD HAVE SHOWN UP BEFORE THE CAR DIED. WHY DID THE AUTO START-STOP ACTIVATE IF THE BATTERY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH JUICE TO ACTIVATE THE ENGINE?? TWO DIFFERENT BATTERIES, SAME ISSUE.
