THE WINDOW HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. I WENT THROUGH THE MANUAL TO TROUBLESHOOT IT, WORKED FINE FOR A DAY THEN RIGHT BACK TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE. EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE DRIVERSIDE DOOR, EXPECT TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE JUST WENT HAYWIRE WITH NO WARNING. THE MIRROR DEFROST DOESN'T WORK AND THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE WON'T OPEN ANY LONGER. WHEN I TURN IT IS NOW MAKING A STAGE SQUEALING NOISE. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO GOSSETT VOLKSWAGEN GERMANTOWN (7420 WINCHESTER RD, MEMPHIS, TN 38125, (901) 405-4909) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW BATTERY WAS NEEDED FOR THE KEY REMOTE.

THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING; HOWEVER, EVERY TIME SHE TOUCHED A FEATURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL, A PINGING NOISE WOULD SOUND AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD FLASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

PUT CAR IN PARK ON CONVENIENCE STORE PARKING LOT COULDN'T TURN CAR OFF OR REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION TRIED SO MANY TIMES. DROVE HOME PARKED CAR IN GARAGE TRIED TO TURN OFF .CAR STILL WOULD NOT TURN OFF. FINALLY DROVE TO DEALER GARAGE . DEALER SAID THE IGNITION LOCK HOUSING HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE WORK WAS PERFORMED. THE JOB COST 577.25 DOLLARS. I CALLED VOLKSWAGEN HEADQUARTERS TO DISCUSS THIS REPAIR SINCE IT IS UNUSUAL TO HAVE TO MAKE SUCH A REPAIR AND I HAD ALSO LEARNED THAT I HAVE ONE RECAL ON THE CAR SIMILARLY RELATED TO NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY. VOLKSWAGEN DENIED ANY RELATIONSHIP TO THIS REPAIR. VOLKSWAGEN ALSO HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME OF ANY RECALL ON MY CAR AND STATED THAT RECALL NOTICES HAVE NOT BEEN ISSUED , THEY HAVE NOT DETERMINED WHAT THE A FIX FOR THE RECALL POSTING. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS OCCURRENCE IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS THE PROPOSED RECALL NOTICE . MILEAGE ON CAR IS 35,855 MILES.
