Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
While driving, the speakers suddenly started blaring a persistent noise at full volume. It nearly caused me to run the car off the road. I had to cover my ears while trying to find a place to safely pull the car off the road all while trying to plug my ears. Turning off the radio didn't stop the noise. Turning off the car and opening the door didn't stop the noise either. The noise finally stopped after the car had been sitting turned off for about a minute. My ears were ringing when I got out of the car. All in all, an extremely unsafe situation in the middle of the highway. Searching online later, I came across forum posts of other drivers with the same car experiencing the same issue.

Potential Consequences:
The car will not accelerate when cold, after it falls on it's nose when trying to accelerate, it then surges ahead. After the first few accelerations, it is fine. It is especially dangerous when we try to pull out of our home onto the busy street where we live. This has been an issue sine we bought the car and it seems to get worse with time. The dealer has tried to correct this problem with no success. The first time they said the could not duplicate he problem, the second time they said they adjusted the transmission, that made it worse.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
UNKNOWN component/system. After starting the car and placing it in drive/ pressing down on the accelerator, there seems to be a problem with the car as it feels as if the car is hesitating or lurching forward. The problem will usually only persist for a mile or two before going away. It almost always happens when cold started, but has also occurred when am starting the car again after having driven it for some time. It is dangerous because if I turn into a lane or cross traffic and this incident occurs, it may result in an accident. No, it has not been confirmed by the dealer that I am aware of. I have brought the vehicle in twice to VW and have been told it is a "cruise control" system issue the first time. And the second time told that I should just "let the car warm up" and there were no issues detected. There are absolutely no warning lights or other warning systems that appeared when the problem first started. The problem started about 2 months after I purchased the car and has continued since then.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle hesitates and then jerks forward when accelerating from a stop. This symptom is more apparent when the vehicle is cold before it has warmed up. The car is available for inspection if requested. It put my safety and the safety of others at risk because the acceleration is unpredictable. This danger is apparent when trying to slowly pull through a crowded parking lot and the car accelerates abruptly or when you’re pulling into traffic and the car hesitates in front of oncoming cars. The dealers service department has said they are unable to reproduce the symptoms or they say it is a normal trait for that car. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representative. There is no warning lamp or indicators of system failures for this issue. This issue first appeared approximately 500 miles into ownership.

Potential Consequences:
1-Most importantly, while driving my vehicle on 4 separate occasions I am alerted of possible impact or close vehicle and the car hard brakes by itself on 2 of theses malfunctions I was almost rear ended. 2- I was sitting in my vehicle on a phone call in my buildings garage and my windshield just cracked out of nowhere. Nothing hit my vehicle and a crack just started rising from the bottom of the Left drivers side straight across the center of my windshield . 3- on several occasions while driving my radio/gps display just blacked out and I had to reset it in order to get it back on. 4- my front suspension sounds like is is going to fall out of the car when I hit the smallest of bumps, it almost sounds like it was installed and never tightened up. 5- when it rains or snows the sensors on the vehicle start bugging out and alerting me of multiple hazards when in fact there is nothing near me. This issue may be related to the earlier mentioned statement #1 This could be a scary thing for some people.
