Volkswagen Golf SportWagen

"Car is a diesel, problem with VW emissions system. fixed by dealer under warranty"

"Diesel emissions system required repeated cleanings. And trips to the dealer for service"

"the diesel particulate filter was full. covered under extended VW warranty and replaced"

"Stopped operating. We had no AC."

"Experienced the start of this issue approximately 1 year ago and am still periodically experiencing this problem. The problem was supposedly fixed about a year ago by a Volkswagen dealership but it's still randomly occurring at least once a week. It causes my a/c to stop blowing very hard and therefore makes it uncomfortable in the Phoenix summer heat. The problem is ongoing and is not resolved."

"about 4 months ago the keyless entry stopped working and if I hadn't had the actual key to open the door, I would have been stuck. It ended up being some kind of setting on the key that needed to be reset somehow."

"Speed sensor failure (located near rear axle) caused ABS and traction control to fail. This occurred at the same time the air bag sensor failed (located inside the front passenger seat). Caused multiple alarms to go off. I had to wait 3 weeks for the airbag sensor, making the car unsafe in the interim."

""The car has been leaking oil for years. Mechanics tell us its a common issue with VWs and that its an expensive fix. We just keep topping up and feeling guilty about the environment. Last month, the right side mirror simply popped off, fell or the ground and shattered. Mechanic told is it's another common for WV's and that his did the same.""

"The exhaust gas temperature sensor failed. The diagnostic and repair was $900."

"Fuel gauge level sender not operational since 2022. Gauge shows empty tank at all times. I use trip odometer to estimate time to refuel. Cost of repair at dealer is $440"

"I noticed a front end vibration. I brought the car to a mechanic that I have used. He demonstrated that the ball joint was defective using a pry bar. Subsequently both joints were replaced as they are both subjected to the same environment and I agreed the one that seemed ok may fail soon. A wheel alignment is necessary after disassembly to ensure tire life and accurate steering."
