We have classified the 1 complaints from 2014 Volkswagen Beetle about STRUCTURE into the following categories.
Sunroof crack after 2 times change, very unsafe condition. when rain front light the get full of water and they stop working, very unsafe driving at night time
Exterior door locks failed to open when pulling on the exterior door handle. using just the proximity rf keyfob, passenger doors, trunk, and gas filler door were disabled. then pressed the buttons on the keyfob, nothing. after 5 minutes of pulling, pressing, panic button, finally the trunk released. after that, everything was back to normal. this occurs weekly, but usually doesn't last so long.
Adult male had hand under the trunk lid getting ready to lift it open when the passenger door was closed (driver side door was already closed). there was a vacuum effect and the trunk lid slammed down on the hand. the hand was severely crushed but the skin wasn't broken and no bones were broken. if this had been a child or adolescent it probably would have been much more severe. this was a rental car. *tr
The vehicle is equipped with manual transmission and keyless ignition. this is an unsafe combination should the car be stalled. when the start button is pushed and i have failed to get the clutch pedal all the way to the bottom the car won't start. now the button must be pushed once to turn the ignition off, once more to turn the ignition on and yet a third time to engage the starter and hopefully the clutch pedal is fully engaged. all of this happening while in panic mode as you observe autos coming at you. a manual transmission vehicle should have a starter button separate from the ignition switch. for background i am 60 years old and have driven standard shift cars my entire life and have never encountered such a problem. i believe the clutch lockout feature should be disabled in a vehicle with this combination or a separate starter button be provided. i am convinced i will die in this car either as a result of a crash or heart attack. *tr
