NHTSA Complaint #10410328 — 1998 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE

I PURCHASED A 98' VW NEW BEETLE 3 DAYS AGO FROM A DEALER AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE W/ IT UNTIL TODAY. THE CAR STARTED OVER HEATING AND COME TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE FUSE HAD MELTED OVER THE BATTERY TERMINAL THAT RUNS THE COOLANT FAN. AFTER THE FUSE WAS REPLACED THE TEMP. LIGHT WENT OUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE CODES READ AND IT SAD IT WAS A P0332 KNOCK SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT LOW. I'VE READ ALOT OF SIGHTS AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SAID THEY HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM TOO, BUT I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO FIX YET. I ALSO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE READ IN OTHER POSTS ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET YOUR CAR STARTED. I TURN THE KEY EVERYTHING COMES ON IT CRANKS IT SOUNDS LIKE IT JUST ABOUT TO START BUT IT JUST WON'T TURN OVER. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT TOO. IT'S A GOOD IDEA ABOUT SIGHTS LIKE THIS, BUT THERE'S ALOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THESE SIGHTS. THERE SHOULD BE A WAY TO ADVERTISE SOMEWHERE TO GET TO MORE PEOPLE ON HOW THEY COULD MAKE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SIGHT OR SIGHTS LIKE THESE AND MAYBE EVENTUALLY SOMETHING COULD BE DONE AND WE COULD GET SOME HELP TO GET THESE CARS FIXED INSTEAD OF FIXING ALL THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS OURSELVES. *TR
