Wheel Problems of Volkswagen Beetle

Wheel hubs and wheel bolts. All four wheels and almost all the bolts affected. Replaced rear hubs & all bolts, after a three bolts were unable to be removed without extra effort by a mechanic. I have one bolt that indicates the bolt threads were deformed. The issue could impact the ability of the bolts to hold the wheels on safely.

Tires are cracking on the sidewalls as well as on the tread area. This seems to be an ongoing problem as they have been replaced previously and the same problem is occurring again. It appears the rubber is drying out, hardening, and splitting.

The right front tire exploded while driving straight ahead at 40 mph. Hankook tires. Nothing was struck and the tires had no previous damage. Smooth city street.

While driving 60 mph on route 84-mass pike(which is a freshly paved road) I noticed something go wrong with the back tires causing the vehicle to spin out of control. Luckily, after doing a full 360 I was able to gain control of the car and pulled over. I had to the car towed to a service center in which they told me I had broke the tie rod when I went out of control. The reason I went out of control in the first place was due to a faulty tie rod that had broken for absolutely no reason. The weather that day was 50 degrees and had been 57 the day before meaning absolutely no black ice. The roads were freshly paved so there were no pot holes. I was charged $875. 00 to fix the car in order to get it home to my father whom the car belongs to. I am concerned for anyone if the future that may experience this and hope this never happens again. I feel that this is grounds to take legal action. Until then I would like to be compensated for the faulty equipment on this fairly new car.

The dealership states the right front abs harness came off first and rubbed through causing a bunch of electrical problems. They states the abs harness came off because the harness bracket was bent. This is a 12 and a half month old vehicle which has only been serviced at the dealership. There is no history of hitting anything. The vehicle was started out in failure mode and was not like this the last time the vehicle was driven. This created unsafe driving conditions because the pcm put the vehicle in limp mode. We drive the vehicle directly to the dealership. They described the problem.

The automatic transmission shifts gears erratically. The transmission shifts cause erratic engine speed during shifts resulting in tires breaking traction and unpredictable acceleration. Driving in traffic is hazardous due to sudden or delayed gear shifts in the automatic transmission. Volkswagen America has extended the warranted period for the transmission valve body due to known defects in the transmission system. Failure in the transmission valve body produces erratic driving characteristics and poses a risk to persons and property.
