Mass air flow sensor failed prematurely. Dealer refuses to cover part under emissions warranty. When maf sensor fails, damage is caused to catalytic converter causing premature failure of the converter, decrease in fuel economy and decreased engine performance.

Drivers side window regulator failed. Window was stuck down. Oxygen sensor failed the next day. The dealer claims this affects every VW. Why don't they fix them. Now I'm out of warranty and I'm sure my other window regulator and oxygen sensor will be going bad any day now. VW should be accountable for this.
