Consumer Description

BOTH THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND THE OXYGEN SENSOR HAVE FAILED IN MY CAR AFTER THE INITIAL WARANTEE EXPIRED. SYMPTOMS OF EACH FAILURE WAS A HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING SIMILIAR TO STALLING THE ENGINE, BEING POSSIBLY HAZARDOUS WHEN TURNING INTO TRAFFIC.TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED THAT IT WAS A "COMMON PROBLEM" FOR BOTH ITEMS. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THESE TWO COMPONENTS ARE DEFECT IN DESIGN. I'VE TALKED TO OTHER VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS, SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AND SOME INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD/SEEN THE SAME PROBLEMS REPEATEDLY. REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE HAVE BECOME EXPENSIVE AT $750+ FOR EACH OCCURANCE. IF YOU COULD PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION I MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE I WOULD BE GRATEFUL.
