This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
These problems have occurred throughout the past 4 years, and have been documented with the dealer. When my lease was up, my vehicle was inspected, and I was informed that the mouldings have been a continuous problem, especially in states that have warm weather because the glue starts to melt which causes the moulding to fall off. No safety defect listed in the summary.
Door lock froze, not opening w/key. Windows rolled down & then making clicking noises when trying to roll window back up. Needed to pull window up by hand. Air conditioner makes noise when turned on. Windshield cracked due to stress. Received recall for nood latch, but unable to get replacement parts. Paint is cracking. Radio goes out. VW says that there is a factory defect, but have not helped repair these problems.
