2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Owner Complaints

PROBLEM NOTICED DECEMBER 12TH WHEN ONE BY ONE ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON INCLUDING THE AIR BAG, THE STABILIZATION SYSTEM, THE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM AND OTHERS. THEN WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED BACK HOME. THE NEXT DAY A MECHANIC SCANNED IT AND SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM IN THE EMITIONS SYSTEM WHICH DISABLED THE CAR BY MAKING IT NOT ABLE TO DRIVE. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST VW DEALER WHO TOLD ME THAT THE WHOLE PROBLEM, INCLUDING THE FAILURE OF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS, WAS CAUSED BY A LEAK IN THE SUNROOF. WATER RAN DOWN THE A-PILLER AND SHORTED SOME WIRING. THEY GAVE ME A PRINT OUT WHERE VW ADMITS THAT THIS IS THE RESULT OF A PRODUCTION DEFECT BUT THEY SAID THAT IF THE DEFECT WAS NOT FOUND BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT THAT VW WOULD NOT ALLOW IT TO BE FIXED UNLESS I PAID THEM OVER $1,0000. AS IT IS, I HAD TO PAY THEM $240 TO TAKE THE TRIM OFF OF THE A-PILLER AND DRY THE WIRING OUT. THIS MADE THE CAR RUN NORMALLY FOR THE TIME BEING BUT NOW I AM AFRAID THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.

LOUD SNAPPING SOUND WHILE TURNING, AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, LOST ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS OF STEERING WHEEL, INCLUDING HORN & AIRBAG. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. HAD VEHICLE EXAMINED, CODES PULLED, DETERMINED IT WAS FAILURE OF THE CLOCK SPRING MECHANISM.

THE DISPLAY SCREEN SAYS ERROR: AIRBAG, THEN IT SAYS ERROR: TRANSMISSION. ALL THE BOTTONS ON THE STREEING WHEEL DO NOT WORK CURSE CONTROL, BOTTONS FOR CHANGING THE DISPLAY TO SEE INFO ABOUT THE CAR, AND RADIO. THE CAR WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS WHEN THE MESSAGES FIRST WHERE NOTICED. I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THINK IT MIGHT BE THE CLOCK SPRING. THE FACT THAT IT IS SAYING ERROR: AIRBAG, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK, OR MIGHT JUST GO OFF FOR NO REASON.

1/1/2019

JUST IN FRONT OF THE SHIFTER AND BEHIND THE CENTER STORAGE CONSOLE, METALLIC TRIM ON PLASTIC PEELED UP LEAVING A RAZOR SHARP EDGE. I DID NOT SEE THIS DEFECT. AS I PULLED MY KEYS OUT OF THE CONSOLE, THE SMALLEST FINGER ON MY RIGHT HAND WAS BADLY SLICED, CAUSING QUITE A LOT OF BLEEDING. HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE SURPRISE, PAIN, AMOUNT OF BLOOD AND THE DISTRACTION CAUSED BY THOSE THINGS. FORTUNATELY, I HAD JUST PARKED AT MY HOME AND WAS ABLE TO RUN INSIDE AND STANCH THE BLOOD FLOW.

CLOCK SPRING FAILED AT 52,000 MILES--AFFECTING BOTH THE AIRBAG AND HORN. VW REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR, DESPITE THEIR CLOCK SPRING RECALL ON MULTIPLE VW MODELS, THAT WAS INITIATED BY NHTSA INVESTIGATION.

I OWN A 2015 VW GOLF SPORTWAGEN WITH A LITTLE OVER 46,000 MILES. THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HAS GONE BAD AND WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPLACE (OEM ONLY) BY A VW SPECIALTY GARAGE. I WAS ALSO INFORMED AND CAN HEAR, THE RIGHT FRONT BEARING GOING BAD AS WELL. IT ALL STATED WITH A LOW HUM WHICH CHANGED PITCH WITH THE SPEED OF THE CAR. OVER TIME IT GOT LOUDER AND LOUDER UNTIL I FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO A DIAGNOSIS. I RESEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY GEN 3 LATE MODEL GOLFS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. DEFECTIVE WHEEL BEARINGS. WHEEL BEARINGS SHOULD NOT FAIL WITH ONLY 40,000 MILES ON THE CAR. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL TIRES! VW CLAIMS ITS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT THIS IS A FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CAR AND THE AXLES GO THRU THIS BEARING! PLEASE INVESTIGATE.

A defect that meets the definition of a nonconformity in Washington State, and that is covered under warranty, caused the vehicle to stall while driving and caused the vehicle to not accelerate when the accelerator was pressed. My safety was put at risk when this happened on a 50 mph road because vehicles behind me expected my vehicle in front of them to accelerate in a predictable way with the flow of traffic. Another time, a stall happened as I turned onto a highway. I had come to a stop, waited for the traffic light, and then turned right and pressed the accelerator as I normally would to get up to 50 mph. A flashing glow plug light came on, and the car immediately had zero propulsion, and so I turned the steering wheel to roll to the side of the road and turned on my hazard lights. I was fortunate that I was not rear-ended. On another occasion, I came off of the interstate as normal, but when I tried to drive over the overpass at a slight incline, the vehicle was unable to accelerate to 20 mph, and would only go about 5 mph no matter how much the accelerator was pressed. This happened multiple times, but not all of the time, and it was unpredictable when it would happen. It was dangerous to me because I could not time traffic circles with confidence that I would be able to press the accelerator and get up to speed without being struck from the left, or turn out onto busy roads with confidence I wouldn't be t-boned, or merge with traffic on the highway. The mileage on the vehicle at the first attempt to diagnose/repair the defect was 63935 on 10/11/2019 when a VW dealership diagnosed and replaced two glow plugs under warranty. Several more times it was warr. repaired. In November 2021, after the vehicle was repaired and failed on the dealership test drive, an engineer from Volkswagen inspected the vehicle, it was further repaired and released to me. A couple of months later, the vehicle stalled on a highway and a flashing glow plug light came on.

The emissions modification calibration by Volkswagen causes the coolant to be exposed to elevated temperatures due to higher exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) use to control emissions. These elevated higher temperatures degrade the coolant faster than designed and lead to precipitates falling out of solution in the factory filled G13 coolant. This causes buildup and deposits to form throughout the cooling system, particularly in the heater core which can block proper coolant flow & lead to coolant system failure, specifically of hoses associated with the heater core. When these fail the engine can over heat, and stop which causes loss of steering, propulsion and braking abilities. There is a similar problem on 2012 models with the TDI engine, which has been addressed but the 2015 models are being stranded on the roads creating a safety hazard to the drivers of the vehicles and other motorists on the road.

MARCH 10, 2019 BEGINNING ON 12/08/2016, MY VW HAS BEEN TO SERVICE FOR A LEAKING SUNROOF 4 TIMES (THE CAR WAS LESS THAN 3.5 YEARS OLD!). THE WATER HAS FILLED THE SPARE TIRE/SUBWOOFER WELL FULL, DRIPPED THROUGH THE LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL SWITCHES OF THE ROOF, DRAINED INTO THE DASH AND SHIFTER AS WELL AS MY LAP WHILE DRIVING. AND IT PRESENTS SO MUCH MOISTURE IN THE CAR THE WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFOG WITH THE A/C ON. VW MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENTS ALWAYS BLAME ME FOR DEBRIS CLOGGING THE ROOF DRAINS. I'VE SINCE BEEN INFORMED OF TWO TSBS ON THIS ROOF ADDRESSING THE FLAWED ENGINEERING. ALL THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE DONE IS CLEARED MY DRAIN HOSES AND ON THE 4TH RETURN, PRESENTED A $1,600 BILL FOR REMOVING AND REPLACING MY DRAINS. I REFUSED THE REPAIR AND HAVE DUCT TAPED MY ROOF TO PREVENT FURTHER WATER DAMAGE UNTIL THIS MATTER IS FORMALLY RESOLVED. VW CUSTOMER CARE HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THIS SERVICE CLAIMING IT IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. GIVEN WHERE I LIVE, THE CALIFORNIA CENTRAL VALLEY, DURING THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE, WE RARELY HAD RAIN. APPROXIMATELY EVERY 8 MONTHS THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A VW DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS THE LEAKING ROOF.

THIS IS A 2015 TDI GOLF THAT SAT ON THE DEALER CAR LOT FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS. WE BOUGHT IT SPRING 2018. MINIMAL MAINTENANCE DONE ON VEHICLE WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASED. IN FACT, WE BOUGHT THREE. TIRES HAD FLAT SPOTS, AND HAD TO ALL BE REPLACED. MY DAUGHTER'S CAR DEVELOPED SOFT BRAKES. MINE AS WELL, AND NOT STOPPING WELL. HER CAR FAILED TO STOP, RESULTING IN A CRASH...THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT THAT THE BRAKE FLUSH AND FLUID ARE REPLACED EARLIER THAN THE "RECOMMENDED" 30,000 MILE MAINTENANCE. BEFORE OTHERS ARE INJURED. PLEASE

Cruise control randomly disengaged without the brake pedal or cancel cruise button being depressed. Has happened several times in the last 1.5 years of car ownership. No hazardous road conditions were present, car did not slip and was not accelerating quickly. Sudden unexpected changes in speed, such as those caused by cruise disengaging suddenly, are hazardous. Problem has not been inspected or reproduced by a dealer. No warning lights appeared.

Ever since I purchased the car new, the backup camera goes blank above 5 mph. It is a major annoyance and safety issue to suddenly have to change my rear viewing options. When cold, the car fast idles at 6 or more mph in reverse with the camera offering no assistance. Complaints to the dealership yielded the answer that the factory had no fix. Now I see Honda recall 23V046 about the same condition that I'm experiencing and that appropriately Honda is fixing their problem. Can VW be invited to fix my problem (its problem)? I understand that my son's Toyota camera blanks above 30 mph, more than reasonable.
