Vehicle lost power and shut off while driving on the street at approximately 20 mph. i had driven about 1 block on this street after having turned onto it from another street. when the car died, "steering wheel locked" displayed on dash panel. car would not start, steering wheel wouldn't move beyond about 1" to the right. message would display "steering wheel still locked" or "move steering wheel." after 40 minutes of this rotation of messages and trying to start the vehicle, moved the steering wheel up and down. car finally started but only for 3 seconds. battery light would come on. was able to start the car several times doing this and moving it 30 feet to safely park on the side of the road. temperature outside was about 30 degrees f. for about 1 month prior to this, i would periodically hear a ticking sound after removing the key from the ignition. after the ticking stopped, a message would display on the dash panel "steering column locked. visit workshop!" it was extremely cold when this happened, but it didn't happen every time i turned off the car, and the car started fine each time after. outside temp ...

Vehicle has 49000 miles and is a gasoline engine. passenger side heat only blows cold air, which prevents the windshield from defrosting/deicing in wintertime, affecting visibility and safety. driver's side is not affected. research suggests that the problem is the result of a defective heater core similar to that found with diesel versions of the vehicle. this issue should not be occurring with a vehicle only having 49000 miles.

Same issue as nhtsa id # 11096639. car was parked, turned off, and locked after 3 adults exited the car and entered a story. a few minutes later a concerned person ran in the store asking who owns a black vw? the car had rolled away, unattended, after being parked on a slight incline. it rolled into another car about 50 yards away at a gas station. no injuries.
I have owned this car for beraly one month. 2 days after purchasing the 02 sensors went bad. 1 week later my pcv valve went bad. and 2 days after that my car stalled on me while driving down a canyon and would not start again. i lost control and ended up on the side of the road. i though i was going to kill myself. after sitting there for about an hour the car turned on but was extremely shaky and would stall the minute i slowed down or came to a stop. i managed to get the car to a repair shop only to have the engine die on me. the car cannot be turned on or moved. i was told it might be the timing chain which is a common issue in this engine. i'm being told i need to practically replace the engine which will cost more than what the car is worth. if i try to turn the car on. it hesitates a lot and once it turns over it immediately shuts off. i have beraly made 1 payment on this vehicle and it already died on me. was excited about such a nice looking ...
Check engine light and epc light turned on. sometimes my car will not start, but then other time it with start with one turn. also while i am driving, it looses power sometimes. one time the car shut off completely while i was in drive. i took it to the mechanic and he did a diagnostic computer code check. the code was reading camshaft position sensor malfunction. the mechanic replaced the sensor but noticed that the metal on the sensor is shearing significantly.
The air bag light illuminated and then soon after all steering wheel buttons became inoperable. diagnosed as clock spring failure. vehicle has less than 35,000 miles.
Volkswagen replaced my vehicle steering wheel "clockspring" under a previous safety recall. my car has now recently suffered from a failed steering wheel "clockspring". my drivers side front airbag is now incapacitated, my horn no longer works and my steering wheel controls do not work. this occurred upon my making a full left hand turn, upon making the turn, i heard cracking sounds come from my steering wheel and all of the sudden, i got an airbag error warning light (i still do), my horn did not work (still does not) and my steering wheel controls did not work (still don't). this should be a second recall to cover this issue because the "clockspring" was formally recalled for the exact reasons that i (and apparently a lot of other auto owners) now suffer from and the supposed replaced clockspring is causing the same safety issues. volkswagen is currently not taking responsibility for installing faulty "clocksprings" or negligent auto design for this issue. a new safety recall for this should be issued
About a year ago we noticed a strange odor devoloping in the car and researched that it could be a wax vw puts on the plastics. in the heat this max puts off an odor. after a while my son started devoloping sinus issues to the point he was at the doctor getting medicine to treat. this summer he did not drive the car much and we noticed he was not sick. i contacted vw on 7/23/19 with the concern of mold or the plastic issue. i dropped off the car to a dealer on 7/27/19 to have a mold test done, the results were told to me that levels of mold we acceptable levels but i was not told according to who's level. when i or my son drive this car we develop headaches and sinus issues caused from the odor the car is putting off in the passenger cabin. as of today 8/13/19 vw has turned it over to the dealer to charge me $245.00 to look for a leak. they are not looking at the wax on the plastic which they have agreed they do. after looking at issues on the ...
