2015 Volkswagen Beetle

WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON ROUTE 84-MASS PIKE(WHICH IS A FRESHLY PAVED ROAD) I NOTICED SOMETHING GO WRONG WITH THE BACK TIRES CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL. LUCKILY, AFTER DOING A FULL 360 I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR AND PULLED OVER. I HAD TO THE CAR TOWED TO A SERVICE CENTER IN WHICH THEY TOLD ME I HAD BROKE THE TIE ROD WHEN I WENT OUT OF CONTROL. THE REASON I WENT OUT OF CONTROL IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY TIE ROD THAT HAD BROKEN FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. THE WEATHER THAT DAY WAS 50 DEGREES AND HAD BEEN 57 THE DAY BEFORE MEANING ABSOLUTELY NO BLACK ICE. THE ROADS WERE FRESHLY PAVED SO THERE WERE NO POT HOLES. I WAS CHARGED $875.00 TO FIX THE CAR IN ORDER TO GET IT HOME TO MY FATHER WHOM THE CAR BELONGS TO. I AM CONCERNED FOR ANYONE IF THE FUTURE THAT MAY EXPERIENCE THIS AND HOPE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. I FEEL THAT THIS IS GROUNDS TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. UNTIL THEN I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT ON THIS FAIRLY NEW CAR.

ESP LIGHT WILL COME ON AND CRITICAL ERROR WILL FLASH WHEN FIRST STARTING VEHICLE. VEHICLE WILL SUTTER AND WILL NOT START. WHEN VEHICLE IS TAKEN TO HAVE THE ERROR MESSAGE READ NO RECORD IS FOUND IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. MOST RECENTLY AN ERROR MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE SCREEN AND THE WHOLE CAR WENT DEAD.

WELL SINCE I GOT MY CAR, THE NEW BACKUP CAMERA DOESN'T HAVE THE OPTION TO MAKE IT BRIGHTER, WHICH IS A HAZARD WHEN YOU TRY TO USE IT AND YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING, BECAUSE THE CAMERA DOESN'T CONTRAST WITH THE OUTSIDE BRIGHTNESS THE OTHER MODELS WITH NAVIGATION HAVE THE OPTION TO ADJUST IT I ASKED AND CALL THE VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA AND FILE A COMPLAINT AFTER WEEKS I GOT A RESPONSE NOTHING IS BEEN UPDATED SO IS NOTHING W CAN DO WITH YOUR COMPLAINT IF WE UPDATE SYSTEM, YOU WILL KNOW ALMOST A YARD HAV PAST

VOLKSWAGEN HAS DEFECTS VIE CAMSHAFT SO WHICH THEY KNOW OF AND HAVE A RECALL FOR BUT THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THEIR ONLY CONCERN IS TO MOVE THE FAILURE OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEIR CUSTOMERS GET STUCK WITH THE BILL. IT IS AFAILURE WHICH IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS. CAMSHAFT FAILS AND CAUSE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND VACUUM FOR BRAKE OPERATION. THEY SAY A ELECTRIC DOWNLOAD WILL FIX A MECHANICAL FAILURE. IMPOSSIBLE !!!!!!!!!
