Consumer Description

Second day after purchasing the new car, WHILE DRIVING the front passenger door just swung open. I thought it was not closed properly, but it kept happening again! I took it to the dealer and was informed that they are seeing multiple cars with the same issue. It is a huge safety issue and it seems that these electronic door handles cannot handle cold and keep malfunctioning. The car is at the dealer right now and VW does not have the parts to fix it or is afraid to address the issue. It's a new car, I drove it for a few days and it has been sitting at the dealer for TWO MONTHS without any resolution in sight! Please address the safety issue and ask VW to ensure it does not happen to others. On Facebook group, multiple people are affected. My dealer, Romeo of Kingston NY has multiple cars with electronic door handle issues.
