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.

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?

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.

IT TOOK ONE WHOLE YEAR FOR THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO GET THE PART AND GET BACK TO ME. TERRIBLE SERVICE. ON AUGUST 3RD, 2018, I RECEIVED A TAKATA RECALL AGAIN SAYING IT WAS NOT REPLACED. THE NAME OF THE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS 51448 AARON CHAN FROM TONY VOLKSWAGEN IN WAIPAHU HAWAII. THIS IS MY COMPLAINT. IT WAS NEVER REPLACED IN THE FIRST PLACE. UNETHICAL AND FRAUDULENT!!!

MY VEHICLE START WITH THE PROBLEM AT 33KMILES. NOW I'M AT 37KMILES AND IT'S HAPPENING DAILY. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND PUTTING IT ON DRIVE, THE BRAKE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY AND STARTED MAKING A SCREECHING NOISE. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP, THE MESSAGE CENTER SHOWS ERROR WITH AIRBAG, ABS BRAKE, VEHICLE STABILIZATION...ETC. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I WOULD STOP AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THE VEHICLE, SOMETIMES THAT RESET THE LIGHTS AND OTHER TIMES THAT DOES NOT HELP. THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE BRAKES NOISES AND THE POWER STEERING GETS UNSTABLE, AND AFRAID THE AIRBAG MIGHT NOT WORK PROPERLY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I JUST UPDATE THE AIRBAG FROM THE LAST RECALL. I CAN'T DRIVE WITH MY BABY IN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES.
