1 Instrument Panel problem

Failure Date: 09/30/2006

Since the purchase of my vehicle 2001 vw Beetle, I have had a continuous beeping and illumination of various crazy lights in my dashboard. I have continually taken my car to vw, at the rate of $350+ each time, I am at my wits end. . . These electrical issues cannot be found or fixed by a vw rep, and are a danger to myself, my passengers, and surrounding cars. I have contacted vw America, and have been treated like I was bothering them. I had one shop in springfield, mo fix the constant mind boggling beep that I've had to listen to for years now. . . This repair of the beep lasted the longest of all. . . (1year). . . But the only way to fix it made the brake light illuminate continually, so that I never could tell if I had brake issues or not. Then when my vehicle needed to have a smog test for registration back in CA. . . The vw shop in CA said they would not smog the vehicle unless of course I paid another $350 to fix the brake light, and while they fixed it, they brought back the beep and the various other dashboard illuminations. . . I am sick of this company (vw America). . . I am disappointed in their service, and lack of consumer welfare. I request that you have them replenish our drained savings accounts and return all monies spent on these types of flaws. We as consumers thought we were getting a good little gas saving car. . . It's a nightmare!!! there are 110 complaints so far. . . On this site. . . How many does it take for us all to get our money back, and the repair moneys as well. I'm willing to try a class action suit at this point. . . Read more...
