Hi. eversince I bought the car in August of 2015 there is a problem with suspension and stability of this vehicle. It does not drive straight and always on any minor or major bumps the car jumps and flies in the air and that creates a huge body roll and also habe changed tires 2 times already and my tires wear out after 1000 miles because the car keeps moving to left and right. The stability control starts working for no reason because it senses the car going out of control. Car is constantly shaking and during take off and stop it goes to left & right. A very small tiny bump on low speed throughs the car so strong and it is out of control. I have been to the service department of Volkswagen and eventhough they know what's wrong with the car they refuse to fix it because they say that VW has tough system where not unless the car is not driveable anymore they won't fix it. This is a performance car with very scary problem. I am driving it like a grandma in the past year but the problem is still the same. The automatic window opener dosnt work everytime I change the drive mode and then it starts working on its own. Another problem is the back up camera where when I drive backwards in rear gear if I go slightly faster than couple of miles per hour the screen goes black and I can't see, which that on its own is another liability and great risk factor. When turning the wheel on any pavement the front tires and rims wanna jump out of their place and the car shakes and looses control.
