Consumer Description

MY 2007 VW JETTA WITH 37K ON IT STARTED TO INDICATE ON THE DASH CLUSTER PANEL THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHEN ITS OPEN. THE VEHICLE ALSO AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS THE DOOR ON ITS OWN ONCE I HAVE EXITED THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN LOCK MY CHILDREN INSIDE THE CAR, CAN AFFECT OTHER AREA OF THE CAR AND CAN CATCH FIRE WHILE ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED ON VARIOUS JETTA, GTI, ETC AND VW HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. ON 7/3/2014 @ 10AM, VW OF AMERICA WAS CONTACTED AND WERE NOT HELPFUL AND DID NOT WANT TO ASSIST OR STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT DIE TO THE WARRANTY BEING EXPIRED. OPEN ROAD VW OF MANHATTAN WAS CONTACT FOR INFORMATION AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS FREQUENTLY ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED MODELS AND THAT THEY ESTIMATE THE JOBS TO BE FROM $700 AND UP. THIS LOOKS, SOUNDS AND IS A FACTORY DEFECT. PLEASE ASSIST TOWARDS THIS ISSUE. *TR
