This car is made so poorly the side view mirrors come loose. Not the whole assembly but the glued on mirror portion. I bought some very strong adhesive and glued the mirror back on. Stay away from Volkswagens! |
| 5000 mi | Rear Passenger door does not shut nearly as easily as the other doors. It clearly has a manufacturer/build issue; be it a slight misalignment issue or something similar, I don't know. |
| 3700 mi | Window was being scored by window frame. Door handle was not working well on passenger side front door. |
| 74000 mi US $225 |
Loud popping noise when door opened. Position roller worn (seized with flat spot) Door hinge replaced. |
| 94000 mi US $20 |
Fuel door won't open. After careful consultation, mechanic disconnected the wire to the fuel door lock. This fixed the problem and we don't care about someone stealing fuel, we live in a rural area. |
