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.
All four door handles outside have broken off, the passenger indoor handle has broken off and the safey check was failed because of this. VW says this is just "wear and tear" but we believe this has to be a design fault - and now it's a safey issue too.
Driver's side front power window failed and 3 of 4 door handles failed on car owned by initial buyer for 4 years, 4 months. Failure of so many parts is excessive, as is quote from dealer for repairs (>$1,000). Reported via phone to VW, but no response.
Heater core gives a "mist" smell like antifreeze causing discomfort to driver. Dealer will not be able to get part until Monday 08-Nov-99. The driver side door is jammed & the rear door behind the driver is malfunctioning.
