Volkswagen of America They do not stand behind a car with bad maintenance record from the beginning Englewoods Cliff NJ
I am writing about my 2006 Beetle Convertible. This car should have been total recall. I was always under the impression the VW made quality automobiles but now I think my great grandson could make a` better car with Legos. Below are issues I have had and still are having. I have only 135k mileage. In my opinion 90 percent of these items should have never happened.
- Transmission—erratic shifting * Car was taken to deal under warranty but said nothing wrong.
- Catalytic converter—replaced
- Both front axles—replaced
- Glove compartment handle broken—cost $350.00 *
- AC compressor replace
- Secondary Air Pump replace
- Floor mats discontinued *
- Door panel discontinued if available $ 900 *
- Driver’s side window regular replaced
- Window door switch for top drop down *
- Driver’s side seat belt buckle switch *
- Arm rest lid broken *
- Windshield washer tubing broken *
- Fuse block on top of battery—replaced
- Light bulb for AC/Heater controls broken *
- Radio single CD player broken *
- Both tail light need replacing, tail light bulbs burned socket *
- Truck gasket ripped both sides. *
Steers worse than a truck. I have driven a 36 passenger bus that steers easier than this Beetle.
Windshield and rear window on inside because of design almost impossible to clean
*Not repaired or replaced because of cost or discontinued item

I am a consumer, just like you. I don't understand why you would expect any vehicle to have no repairs in 135,000 miles over 12 years. IMO your expectations for a maintenance free vehicle don't align with reality. Adjust your expectations and you will be happier.
