Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

I have no idea what all these other people are speaking of with high maintenance cost and various problems. I get 46 MPG highway and 41 in mixed city/hwy. I recently drove to Florida with a kayak on the top of my car and got 39 MPG.

Faults:

The drivers side window fell...TWICE.

The drivers side window fell.

The drivers side door does not open with the key less entry.

My glove box broke.

My drivers side mirror burnt out. It turned orange and no longer defrosts.

My car burns oil. I have to put a quart or two in every 1000-1500 miles. (Yet the dealership says "it's normal")

My trunk does not open from inside of the car, I have to use my keyless entry button.

My tape deck is broken it always says ERROR.

I needed new brakes and routers at 35000.

My air conditioner light on the dashboard blew out.

General Comments:

I hate this car and I still have a few payments left, I would never recommend Volkswagen to anyone.

Faults:

My shocks and struts have already worn out since buying the vehicle.

The check oil light turns on after driving for thirty to forty-five minutes.

Seats stain very easily.

Front right tire worn after only 5,000 miles.

Rear right tire constantly low.

Key broken.

General Comments:

A nice looking car if you can afford the high maintenance prices.

I love my car, but it has issues.

I wouldn't recommend a VOLKSWAGEN to anyone else.

Has anyone had trouble with the check oil light, coming on periodically?

Faults:

While it was still under warranty the airbag lights came on several times. Then the back cup holder broke, the front cup holder broke, the stereo broke within 4 years of owning it. There have also been & continue to be curious & unpredictable electrical problems. For example, at times, when I try to raise the passenger side window from the driver's side, it lowers instead of raising. Also, the passenger side window didn't work at all from the driver's side for a few months, but now it does again (inexplicably). The latch on the center console broke. The front blinker stopped working, started working, stopped working etc. It's impossible to replace a burned out light bulb in the front blinker. It's necessary to take it to the dealer where it costs $15. labor, $3.95 for the bulb and $20+ for the bulb socket. The service people at the dealership are rude, illiterate, don't listen & not methodical in diagnosing problems. Finally, the front end is low & scrapes on driveways etc. constantly.

General Comments:

This car is fun to drive, but the electrical problems and cost to maintain are not worth it. I will be selling this if they can ever repair it.

Last week my car started bucking & stalling a day after I had driven through a deep puddle. I took it in and was told that the speed sensor had gotten wet. They advised a new battery & speed sensor to the tune of $545. I only got the speed sensor and spent $325. I was supposed to get the car at 5:30PM that day. I got a call at 3:30PM telling me it wouldn't be ready until noon the next day. When I got to the dealership at noon they said it wouldn't be ready until 5PM. Nobody apologized for wasting my time. On the contrary they were very defensive & unfriendly. I complained so much they promised to get the work done by 3:30PM. When I got there I waited another 20 minutes (till 3:50PM) before it was ready. I drove off and once it warmed up it started bucking again - exactly the reason I took it in. I called the service rep. and he said, "Well, I put the best mechanic on it." as if I were making it up! I took it back & they worked on it 3 more hours that night and so far, they've been working on it for 4.5 hours today & have no idea what's wrong with it.
