Hi, I’ve had my turbocharge replaced in October of 2020 at the Volkswagen dealership in Wichita, KS. Just recently my car started driving funny again such as not accelerating like it should with a slight whining noise. I can only get up to 25-30 mph then the whining noise starts up to where I have to take my foot off the gas, let my speed drop itself then proceed to accelerate again which is very dangerous. Since I had already experienced this problem not even 3 years ago I knew but I still went to get the car diagnosed and again it is the same exact problem not even 3 years later.
I had to replace the engine coil packs/spark plugs 4 times in the last year. This is not normal and a complaint amongst Volkswagens.
The Trunk wiring harness is not working. Trunk and back up camera wont work. After research I see this is a common issue. Should be a recall.
The clockspring on my vehicle is out. I know this has been a MAJOR issue and recalls with my make and model of cars (Volkswagens). It is not fair that all models and makes are not included in the clockspring recall. This is a major safety issue with the airbag and horn not working.
Error code P2015 was generated which is the air intake manifold. Volkswagen mechanic said we shouldn't drive very much due to it could get worse. Replacement would cost $1812.50, local shop charged $893.00. Volkswagen has since issued a extended warranty which my vehicle falls under but I'm getting push back on being reimbursed. What are my options?
Airbag non deployment after 2 service recalls. I don’t feel safe driving my children around in a car that is not equipped for safety. Fuel pump control module is not working probably even after service recall. Engine malfunctioning.
The airbag light went off in the instrument cluster. I hear what sounds like a disconnected cable rubbing against the steering wheel whenever I try to make a turn. All buttons in the steering wheel are non functional after the incident. Really concerned if the airbag won’t deploy and cause fatal or deadly injuries in case of crash. I don’t feel safe driving it in this condition.

My airbag light is on once again and I have only had the recall replaced once never had the second so some shop has scammed that they replaced it. I need it fixed

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I HEARD A LOUD BANG SOUND LIKE A GUNSHOT. I LOOK UP AND GLAS WAS ALL OVER ME. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE WHEN MY SUNROOF IS CLOSE.
VEHICLE TRUNK LIGHT INDICATOR SHOWS THAT VEHICLE TRUNK IS OPEN. INTERMITTENTLY TURNS OFF THEN COMES BACK ON. TRUNK INTERIOR LIGHT STAYS ON. THIS WILL DRAIN CAR BATTERY IF LIGHT ISN'T UNPLUGGED LEAVING PEOPLE STRANDED. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT IS A FAULTY DESIGN ON BEHALF OF VOLKSWAGEN. VOLKSWAGEN SHOULD PERFORM AN ACTION AND REMEDY FOR THE VW CC OWNERS AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. *TR
BACK UP CAMERA SYSTEM FAULTY PER VOLKSWAGON DEALERSHIPS AND INTERNET- VOLKSWAGON CUSTOMER CARE VIEWS AS A RADIO AND NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.
DRIVING THE CAR (WHICH WAS PURCHASED 6 MONTHS AGO FROM OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP) HONKED THE HORN ON THE CAR COMING HOME FROM PICKING UP THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL. DRIVING THROUGH LOCAL STREETS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AIR BAG SIGN CAME ON. NOW WHEN I TURN CAR ON IT STATES AIRBAG DEFECT AND NONE OF THE CONTROLS WORK ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND SHE DRIVE MY TWO LITTLE BOYS IN IT DAILY. THE AIRBAG DEFECT WARNING IS CONCERNING ESPECIALLY READING OTHER OWNER'S COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO THIS ISSUES.
STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING BROKE. NO HORN OR FUNCTION BUTTONS WORKING ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG.
