ONCE AGAIN, INCONVENIENCED BY WINDOW SLIDER/REGULATOR FAILURE. FIRST IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW, NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE WINDOW FROZE IN THE DOWN POSITION WITH ONLY A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO POWER THE WINDOW BACK UP. I IMMEDIATELY GOT ON THE PHONE AND ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS COULD OFFER ME AN APPOINTMENT THAT WOULD GET MAKE BACK ON THE ROAD IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THUS, I JUST SHOWED UP AT ONE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT OPENED AND MANAGED TO GET MY CAR SERVICED QUICKLY AND THE REPAIR WAS BILLED AS A WARRANTY ITEM. FILING THIS REPORT BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND WINDOW ON MY CAR AND THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE DEPENDING ON THE CONDITIONS INVOLVED. THANK YOU.*AK

ON MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, AS I WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE FOR WORK, I POWERED DOWN MY FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. WHEN I WENT TO POWER BACK UP, THE WINDOW WOULD NOT MOVE AND IT MADE A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE. THE WINDOW WAS FROZEN IN THE DOWN POSITION. THE WINDOW WAS RARELY POWERED UP/DOWN IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF USE. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP (NOT NIELLO), I COULD NOT BE SEEN FOR SEVERAL DAYS. DUE TO MY BUSY WORK SCHEDULE, ONE FORTY-FIVE DOLLAR CAB RIDE TO WORK, AND A RECENTLY EXPIRED AUTOMOBILE WARRANTY, I ASKED MY HUSBAND TO REPAIR THE CAR. AFTER CAREFULLY REMOVING THE GLASS, THE INTERNAL DOOR PANEL, AND ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS, HE REMOVED THE INTERNAL DOOR PANEL/LIFTER ASSEMBLY. THE PROBLEM WAS IMMEDIATELY VISIBLE. A POORLY DESIGNED, CHEAPLY MANUFACTURED, INFERIOR PLASTIC SLIDER HAD BEEN UNABLE TO RESIST THE WEIGHT OF THE WINDOW, THE RESISTANCE OF THE RISER, OR THE PULL OF THE CABLE WHEN POWERED BY THE WINDOW REGULATOR. ON MAY 29, 2002, I VISITED ROSEVILLE VOLKSWAGEN'S PARTS DEPARTMENT. UNFORTUNATELY, ONE CANNOT PURCHASE JUST THE PLASTIC SLIDER (THE DEFECTIVE PART). THIS PART IF SOLD ALONE, COULD NOT AMOUNT TO MUCH MORE THAN $20. INSTEAD, THE WHOLE INTERNAL DOOR PANEL PART MUST BE PURCHASED AT $160. ACCORDING TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE, VOLKSWAGEN IS COVERING THIS REPAIR UP TO 40,000 MILES. THUS, I SUBMITTED THE INVOICE FOR THE $160 PART, THE DEFECTIVE SLIDER, AND A LETTER REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PART TO VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA. MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT WAS DENIED. FORTUNATELY FOR ME, I WAS NOT IN AN UNSAFE PLACE WHEN THE WINDOW FROZE IN THE DOWN POSITION. CONSIDERING ALL OF THE LISTINGS FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE ALONE, I WOULD HOPE THAT VOLKSWAGEN IS MAKING AN EFFORT TO CHANGE THIS FLAWED DESIGN. I WOULD ALSO EXPECT THAT VOLKSWAGEN SHOULD MAKE THE SLIDER AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AS AN INDIVIDUAL PART. THANK YOU.*AK

ON MARCH 27, 2002, AT 26,795 MILES, I REQUESTED A 30,000 MILE SERVICE FROM ROSEVILLE VOLKSWAGEN. ROSEVILLE VOLKSWAGEN IS LOCATED AT 830 AUTOMALL DR., ROSEVILLE, CA 95661-3023 AND THE PHONE NUMBER THERE IS (916) 774-2777. DURING THE 30,000 MILE SERVICE, THE TECHNICIAN INDICATED ON THE MAINTENANCE WORKSHEET THAT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS HAD 95% REMAINING WHILE THE REAR BRAKE PADS HAD ONLY 25% REMAINING, INDICATING A SERIOUS BRAKE SYSTEM ANOMALY. THE TECHNICIAN "INSTALLED NEW BRAKE PADS DUE TO PREMATURE WEAR" AS NOTED ON INVOICE #VWCS28623. I WAS NOT CHARGED FOR THE BRAKE PADS EVEN THOUGH I WAS OVER MY 24,000/2 YEAR WARRANTY. THE PREMATURE REAR BRAKE PAD WEAR NOTED COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS HAZARD FOR ME, MY FAMILY, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THAT THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM THAT RESULTED IN THE PREMATURE BRAKE PAD WEAR WAS NOT ADDRESSED AT THE TIME OF SERVICE AND THAT THIS REMAINS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IN THE FUTURE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE MORE VW GOLF VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THAT MAY BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THIS IRREGULAR BRAKE PAD WEAR. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED NO EXPLANATION FOR THE IRREGULAR BRAKE PAD WEAR AT THE TIME THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA HAS BEEN CONTACTED BY PHONE AND IN WRITING IN AN EFFORT TO FIND OUT HOW COMMON THE PROBLEM IS, WHAT THE EXPLANATION FOR THE IRREGULAR BRAKE PAD WEAR IS, ETC. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA HAS RESPONDED TO MY QUESTIONS WITH A LETTER SUGGESTING THAT I TAKE MY QUESTIONS UP WITH MY PREFERRED VOLKSWAGEN DEALER. AS I HAVE NOT MADE ANY PROGRESS IN THIS MATTER, I AM FORWARDING THE INFORMATION TO YOU. IF ANY FURTHER INFORMATION IS REQUIRED, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME. THANK YOU.*AK
REAR ROTORS AND PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 27,830 MILES. WHILE THESE ARE PRIMARILY CIT/LOCAL MILES, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH A PREMATURE FAILURE OF A BRAKE COMPONENT. THIS IS POSSIBLY A DSIGN FLA AND I WAS WONDERING IF THE NHSTA HAD A SECTION OF THEIR DATABASE THAT REFLECTED A SERIES OF THHESE FAILURES.*AK

Sep 20, 2000
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. ONE OF TWO BRACKETS USED TO BOLT THE FRONT SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO THE BODY STRUCTURE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN WELDED SUFFICIENTLY.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE CONTROL ARM COULD GRADUALLY LOOSEN AND ULTIMATELY SEPARATE FROM ITS BRACKET IN NORMAL DRIVING WHICH COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL OR RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL. AS THE BRACKET LOOSENS, LOUD METALLIC KNOCKING SOUNDS IN FROM THE VEHICLE WILL BE HEARD.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BRACKET AND IF THE WELDING IS INSUFFICIENT, WILL REPLACE THE CONTROL ARM.

BY LETTER RECEIVED ON JUNE 24, 2005, MR. RONALD M. STRICKLAND OF RALEIGH, NC, SUBMITTED A PETITION REQUESTING THAT THE AGENCY INVESTIGATE THE PERFORMANCE OF THE IGNITION COIL PLUGS ON MODEL YEAR (MY) 2000-2003 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA, GOLF AND PASSAT SEDANS.THE PETITIONER ALLEGES THAT HE HAD EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE STALLING EVENTS AS A RESULT OF ONE OR MORE IGNITION COIL PLUGS MALFUNCTIONING ON HIS 2002 VW JETTA SEDAN.AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE STALLING, THE PETITIONER EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND INCREASED BRAKING EFFORTS WHEN HE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE.AFTER A FEW MINUTES PARKED ON THE SHOULDER HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE OPERATED AT REDUCED POWER.VW ISSUED A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CAMPAIGN (CSC) ON JANUARY 31, 2003 TO INSTRUCT THEIR DEALERSHIPS TO INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONING IGNITION COIL PACKS AND TO REPLACE THEM AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER.CONSUMERS WERE NOTIFIED TO BRING THEIR VEHICLES TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS VIA OWNER LETTERS MAILED OUT ON JUNE 6, 2003.WHILE VW INITIALLY INSTRUCTED THE DEALERSHIPS TO ONLY REPLACE THE MALFUNCTIONING IGNITION COIL PACKS, A REVISED CSC WAS ISSUED TO DEALERSHIPS IN DECEMBER 2003 AND JANUARY 2004, INSTRUCTING DEALERSHIPS TO REPLACE ALL IGNITION COIL PACKS REGARDLESS OF THEIR PERFORMANCE.A REMINDER TO THE DEALERSHIPS WAS SENT BY VW ON APRIL OF 2004.ALTHOUGH THE CONCERNS OF THE PETITIONER COULD THEORETICALLY CREATE A SAFETY PROBLEM, THE RISK IS VERY SMALL, DUE TO THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING ON EITHER 3, 5, OR 7 CYLINDERS.THERE ARE NO REPORTED CRASHES OR INJURIES DUE TO THE ALLEGED DEFECT.ONCE DRIVERS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM (LOSS OF POWER DUE TO ONE OF THE IGNITION COIL PACKS MALFUNCTIONING), DRIVERS ARE ABLE TO TAKE PRECAUTIONARY AND COMPENSATORY MEASURES AND STILL MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THEIR VEHICLES.IN ADDITION, FOUR FIRES WERE REPORTED TO ODI.THESE WERE IGNITION COIL BURNOUTS WITH NO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND WERE LOCALIZED ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. DURING THE LAST 24 MONTHS THE NUMBER OF STALL AND DRIVABILITY COMPLAINTS REPORTED TO ODI HAS GREATLY DIMINISHED FROM A PEAK OF 195 IN JANUARY OF 2003 TO ONLY 3 IN AUGUST OF 2005.THIS COINCIDES WITH THE CSC RELEASED BY VW.A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT TREND HAS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THIS TIME AND FURTHER USE OF AGENCY RESOURCES DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE WARRANTED.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT NO SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT EXISTS.THE AGENCY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION IF WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
