WIRING HARNESS FOR TRUNK HAS PINCH POINT CAUSING THE WIRE INSULATION AND WIRES TO BREAK. THIS HARNESS HAS REAR LIGHTS IN THE SAME HARNESS. HAD TO REPLACE TRUNK HARNESS, CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 65000 MILES. LATCH AND DOOR SWITCH STOPPED WORKING, DIAGNOSIS WAS SHORT IN HARNESS. I TOOK OLD HARNESS FROM DEALER AND PULLED BACK COVER AND FOUND ALL WIRES WERE BARE.

I TOOK MY CAR TO GET THIS RECALL DONE "RECALL SUBJECT : FMVSS 138 TPMS SENSOR" WITH CAMPAIGN NUMBER 11V312000, BUT 2 VW DEALERSHIP THAT I VISITED REFUSED TO FIX THIS RECALL SAYING THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T HAVE THIS RECALL. (MY MODEL HAS THIS RECALL BASED ON THIS WEBSITE). HOWEVER, MY CAR STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE A YEAR AND HALF I BOUGHT MY CAR. "WITH THE INCORRECT TPMS SENSORS, DRIVERS WILL RECEIVE A CONSTANT WARNING FROM THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM ALERTS THE DRIVER BUT, DUE TO INCORRECT TPMS SENSORS, THE SYSTEM CANNOT DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. THIS INCREASES THE RISK THAT THE VEHICLE WILL BE DRIVEN WITH ONE OR MORE UNDERINFLATED TIRES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A TIRE FAILURE THAT MAY LEAD TO A CRASH." VW SAID IT WILL COST ME $1300 TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND I KNOW MY CAR HAS THIS RECALL... BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED UNTIL THIS RECALL. COULD YOU INCLUDE MY VIN TO THIS RECALL SO THAT I CAN GET IF FIXED?

MY VEHICLE FIRST HAD AN ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATE WHICH CAUSED AN ABS FAILURE. I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THEN MOST RECENTLY I HAD AN EPC CODE ILLUMINATE IN ADDITION TO A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO LOSE RPM AND START MISFIRING. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 COILS ON THE VEHICLE. WHILE AT THE SHOP MY AIR CONDITIONED STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY ONLY FUNCTIONING WHEN ON THE 4 POSITION. I HATE THIS CARE MORE THAN ANYTHING AND CAN ONLY PRAY THAT VW MAY FIND IT IN THEIR HEART TO BUY IT BACK!!!!

MY STEERING WHEEL ELECTRICAL AND AIR BAG STOPPED WORKING AFTER I MADE A TURN WHILE DRIVING. I FOUND OUT IT WAS THE CLOCK SPRING AFTER TAKING IT IN. THE CAR HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 38,000 MILES AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN THAT EARLY. VOLKSWAGEN HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT YET EITHER.

I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD ANYTHING REPLACED. ALL MAINTENANCE UP TO DATE. STARTED THE CAR WITH NO ISSUES. CONTINUED TO DRIVE GOING 35MPH NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AND MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. ABS. POWER STEERING, EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND AIR BAG. TOOK IT TO CLOSEST AUTO REPAIR TO MAKE SURE NOTHING DANGEROUS WAS ABOUT TO OCCUR. QUICK DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY SAID ALL PROBLEMS ARE ELECTRICAL. NOTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH THE CAR AND WILL LIKELY NEED NEW SENSORS AND CLOCKSPRING. *TR
