WE BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. THE LIGHTS ARE SO BAD THAT IT IS A DANGER DRIVING AT NIGHT. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE REGULAR LIGHTS WITH LED LIGHTS, SLIGHT BETTER BUT STILL DANGEROUS. AFTER RESEARCHING WE FOUND THAT THIS IS A DEFECT AND THE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS. WE TOOK IT TO THE VW DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND THERE IS NOT MUCH WE CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHTING SYSTEM WHICH WOULD BE VERY COSTLY. I AM WORRIED ABOUT MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER DRIVING THIS CAR AT NIGHT.

THE CAR HESITATES ROUGHLY IN A JERKING WAY. MOSTLY WHEN DRIVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION IN 1ST GEAR THE CAR WOULD HESITATE THEN GET A BURST & START TO MOVE PROPERLY. SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE IF I'M TRYING TO PASS SOMEONE. THE CAR WOULD HESITATE FOR A SECOND, SO I RELEASE THE GAS FOR A SECOND THEN PRESS AGAIN TO CONTINUE. I ALREADY REPLACED FUEL PUMP CONTROLLER (VERY EXPENSIVE) NOW IT'S GOING OUT AGAIN & MY ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF & ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM, NOW I'M TRYING TO WAIT FOR THIS RECALL TO BE ACTIVE SO I CAN DRIVE MY CAR WITHOUT FEAR OF CAR FAILURE IN THE WORST MOMENT WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR.
