Show Top critical review2.0 out of 5 starsI will never buy another VW vehicle Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2018 I unfortunately purchased this as a used vehicle form a supposed-reliable salesman, on the recommendation of a doctor my wife used to work with. The prior owners were supposed friends of his, single owners. They were able to hide some major issues with the car to make it salable. The driver's door leaks at the top in a heavy rain, or car wash. This vehicle has major electrical issues. I have had to have the electrical system serviced twice, to the tune of over $500 each time. I cannot stand the auto-lock doors feature, if that is what it's called. It locks itself after about 30 or 45 seconds or so. REGARDLESS of whether your keys are in the ignition. i.e., it will lock you out! I recently had the car shipped from WA state to VA. I TOLD the driver not to leave the key in the car/ignition, due to the lock-out possibility. He forgot, and got locked out, and had to call a locksmith. The sunroof gets stuck in the open position now and then, making me fearful of using it, for the possibility of it staying that way is terrible! Another "bug" is the constant CEL coming on. I have been to Advanced Auto twice in the past to investigate the code. All they could say was that it was a generic code for cooling system. It does not specify something specific. I've had the entire coolant system flushed, thermostat replaced; all to just keep getting the same error about once every two weeks. Due to that, I bought a code reader/code clearer from Amazon here. When the light comes on, I use it to clear the code. Inevitably, however, it just comes on again ... and again ... and again. The gas cap release mechanism recently quit working; the cover would not open. I had to pry it open with a screw driver, breaking a small plastic tab in the process. I now have it secured with velcro.The only thing I "like" is the sound system. "Monsoon". This is actually the best stereo system I ever had in a car. That is the reason for the second star in my rating. I will never buy another VW vehicle.

Volkswagen Manual Transmissions The clutch system, which disengages the engine from the drivetrain to change gears, usually has the highest number of issues. Sometimes it just needs an adjustment, other times it needs to be replaced. If your clutch isn’t the problem, it’s your gearbox. Common warning signs are:
Volkswagen Automatic Transmissions Automatic transmission issues are far more complex than manual transmission problems because they have twice as many parts. In general, automatic transmission problems fall into four categories:
