Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS A RECALL FOR KNOWN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WHICH MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT MY LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK INTO THE ISSUE BUT THEY FAIL TO OFFER A SOLUTION. THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS KNOWN FAULTY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH CAUSE AIRBAG FAULTS.
