1 Engine Funny Noise problem of the 2001 Volkswagen Beetle

Failure Date: 07/26/2001

I received this 2001 Beetle after speaking with the dealership and a Volkswagen representative, because my 2000 Beetle had so many problems which could not be fixed. After about 5 months, this 2001 Beetle has had many problems and continues to have many problems. I took it in the first time on July 26, 2001 for engine problems. The dealership that I took it to for service said it was a defect and they ordered meparts to correct the problem. They did also find faults with p1200 and p0411 tech bulletins. It was also discovered that the secondary air injection pump motor was inoperatiuve. They removed and installed an ovverrun cut-off valve. That same day, the window glass was found off track so they removed and installed a front door trim panel and the window glass. The car was back in for the ordered parts for the engine defect on a later date. About 2 months after those repairs, my automobile was in for a faulty trunk latch and motor and a malfunction with the airbags. They had to order parts for that and so my car was in on a later date for that. They replaced the lower trunk latch binding and removed and installed liftgate trim and a rear lock. They also replaced the air bag module, as well as removing and insstalling an air bag control unit. The car has other problems as well. The steering wheel shakes and vibrates the left side of the car. The car has trouble starting. It has a hum sound while driving. The turbo wing light comes on at different times. It's having the almost all the same problems as my last Beetle. I'm very angry with this car and I can't seem to get any relief. It's a leased automobile, that's my only thing to look forward to, is getting rid of it.
