general problems of the 2015 Volkswagen GTI

The contact owns a 2015 Volkswagen Gti. The contact stated that upon shifting the vehicle into park, a message displayed reading "please place the vehicle in park," failing to recognize that the shifter was already in the parked position. The contact also stated that the failure prevents the doors from being locked either manually or via the keyfob. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 18v464000 (steering, electrical system), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Weird rattle sounds coming from the steering column. Supposed to be a clock spring issue. This issue is persistent on a lot of vw models, but unfortunately my car is not under recall.

Error. Service vehicle. Only leave vehicle in p position.

Power steering turns stick randomly at any speed, requiring me to turn off the engine and restart only to get the steering back to normal. Very scary as more effort has to be input I to the steering for it to work. Engine stalls and cuts out randomly especially on idle. Has caused several issues when driving.
