ON AUGUST 15, 2017 I ATTEMPTED TO START MY VEHICLE AFTER SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR 24 HRS. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED CATASTROPHIC INTERNAL TOP-END DAMAGE DUE TO A FAILED TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. QUOTED $6,600.00 TO REPAIR. VOLKSWAGEN HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. VEHICLE HAS 64,000 MILES AND ALL FACTORY RECOMMENDED SERVICES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHIP(S). VW DOES NOT RECOMMEND ANY SERVICE OR INSPECTION BE DONE TO THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER OR AFFILIATED COMPONENTS AT OR EVEN NEAR THE MILEAGE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS RECORDED. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGISTERED, LAWSUITS FILED AND VW,S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THIS PROBLEM I BELIEVE THIS NOT TO BE AN ISOLATED EVENT. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE TENSIONER THAT VW IS AWARE OF YET REFUSES TO PROPERLY ADDRESS OR PROVIDE REMEDY.

WE HAVE A 2011 TIGUAN AND THE STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING HAS FAILED (PER THE VW DEALER), INITIATING THE AIRBAG MONITORING INDICATOR LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. ALSO, DUE TO THE CLOCK SPRING FAILURE, THE HORN, THE AIRBAG, AND ALL ELECTRONIC CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK. THIS IS THE SAME REASON AS FOR AN ACTIVE RECALL INVOLVING 420,000 VOLKSWAGENS, BUT THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS WITH THE VEHICLE, AND NOTHING DONE TO HAVE CAUSED THIS FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON.

LAST WEEK MY WIFE TOLD ME THAT SHE COULD SMELL AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND FEEL A BURNING SENSATION COMING FROM HER VW DRIVER?S SEAT WHILE SHE HAD HER SEAT WARMER ON. I IMMEDIATELY HAD HER TAKE IT IN TO THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THIS ISSUE IS A FIRE HAZARD AND SAFETY ISSUE AS WE COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT THE SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE POWER ASSISTED SYSTEMS WHILE IN MOTION RENDERING THE CAR UNMANAGEABLE IN TRAFFIC. ADDITIONALLY, WE COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE THE BURNING PAIN TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE DRIVER?S SEAT TO MY WIFE?S FLESH WAS PAINFUL ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY DISTRACT HER FULL ATTENTION FROM DRIVING. BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND SAFETY FAILURE?S WE MUST INSIST THAT VW TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR OF OUR VEHICLE AND REIMBURSE US PROMPTLY FOR OUR COSTS AND EXPENSES. *TR

THE VEHICLE STARTED SPUTTERING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY TOLD ME TO PUT GAS TREATMENT IN SEE IF THAT FIXES PROBLEM. IT SEEMED TO HELP A BIT FOR A WEEK BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. THEN ONE MORNING I GOT UP AND TIRED TO START CAR IT HESITATED TO START ALMOST DIED AND STARTED. I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING IT TO VOLKSWAGEN AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THANK GOD I WAS JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM MY HOUSE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF IT DIED ON HIGHWAY. ONE OF THE RECALLS ON THIS MODEL IS DESCRIBING WHAT HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. BUT WHEN I LOOK IT UP THE SCORE TELLS ME THE RECALLS WERE FIXED. WHICH I KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE. MY MOTHER TRIED TO GET VOLKSWAGEN TO FIX THE AIRBAG RECALL THEY JUST DISMISSED HER SAYING YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT ONE ON RECALL. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX VEHICLE THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND UNACCEPTABLE! NOT A HAPPY CUSTOMER.

THE FUEL INDICATOR (GAUGE) IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED BUT AS A "CERTIFIED" VEHICLE. I WOULD EXPECT THIS TO LAST LONGER AS I HAVE NEVER HAD ONE TO GO OUT ON A VEHICLE. IT NEVER TELLS HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE WHETHER IT IS STILL, BEING DRIVEN, HOT, COLD, OR WHATEVER. IT JUST DOESN'T WORK.

THERE WAS NO CRASH OR PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, AIRBAG SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING. FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW, "ERROR: AIRBAG" MESSAGE IS SHOWN UP ON DASHBOARD AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS TURNED ON. IN ADDITION TO THAT, EVEN I BUCKLED UP, WHEN I MAKE A RIGHT TURN SEAT BELT ALARM IS BEEPING AND SEAT BELT LIGHT HAS TURNED ON WHILE I AM DRIVING. I AM CONCERNING ABOUT THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM DRIVING MY CAR EVERYDAY WITH POTENTIAL THREAT OF ACCIDENT WITHOUT AIRBAGS BEING DEPLOYED.

ENGINE OIL LEAK WAS NOTICED FIRST WHEN PARKED. AFTER FIRST REPAIR (NOVEMBER 01, 2018), IT STARTED TO LEAK AGAIN ONLY AFTER TWO DAYS FROM REPAIR. THEN IT WAS AGAIN REPAIRED, BUT IT STARTED TO LEAK THE SAME DAY AGAIN EVEN A NEW OIL PAN WAS REPLACED. NOW T IS UNDER REPAIRING AGAIN (NOT SURE THE COST AND POSSIBILITY TO FIX YET). THIS REPRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MAY CAUSE A FIRE OR EVENTUALLY ENGINE TO FAIL. MAY PROVIDE REPAIR REPORT FROM DEALER ONCE IT IS FINALIZED. THANK YOU.
