Problems with 2010 Volkswagen GTI ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

While driving the steering wheel, gas pedal and engine will studder and cause epc light to come on with check engine light. turning off the car and turning back on will sometimes correct problem but will come back shortly after. car will not accelerate without stalling out. almost like the computers forgot how to accelerate the car and use the engine. car was getting onto highway when this happened but does happen during regular driving. car jumps and studders and the engine wants to shut down since it cant accelerate or shift higher, rpms go down to point of car stalling.

This is a low mileage (31,000) vehicle. unexpected, complete failure of radio, cd, navigation system, bluetooth hands-free communication... everything went dead. vw dealer check fuses and radio fuse and said that they were ok. radio and all functions associated with radio dead and not working. will not turn on. why is this a safety issue? because of the hands-free, bluetooth phone capabilities no longer work. very dangerous. plus navigation doesn't work.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 volkswagen gti. while idling at a traffic light, the entire instrument panel illuminated and smoke appeared from the engine compartment. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the technician stated that the starter melted due to the battery being cracked and acid spilled onto the engine compartment. the wire between the battery and starter were melted. the independent mechanic recommended that the vehicle should be taken to the dealer. the vehicle was not repaired. the mechanic and the auto insurance company stated that the failures were not caused by a fire. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 72,000.

When i start my car i get a warning saying multiple lights (i.e. headlight,taillight,fog lights) are burnt out. the affected light eventually turns on. the fuse for my lights was blown and scorched and my local dealer said it was a faulty fuse box which is the same box from the tiguan which has already been recalled. *tr

We purchased and we were servicing our vw gti 2010 at autobarn mt. prospect/il. in the last 2 years we replaced all ignition coils at different time intervals and twice for cylinder #2. there are actually multiple issues here. first, this kind of problem can easily generate an accident, if one ignition coil fails at the wrong time and the wrong place (when passing or driving on a mountain road). second, the ignition coils are poorly designed and they go bad way too fast making the car undriveable. costly towing was required almost every time. third, the vw dealership should advise customers to replace all coils in the same time at the first sign of trouble. instead they choose to replace them one by one, charging between $180.00 and $220.00 every time just for labor, when the part itself costs just $32.00 and the level of difficulty for this task is very low. *tr

The horn on this vehicle does not operate immediately upon pressing the horn button on the steering wheel. there is always a very noticeable delay in response. i know that the horn is a safety item that has strict regulations - can this be looked into? it is apparently a trait of all 2010 vw gti's. *tr
