This Problem Across All Years
I RECEIVED INFORMATION DATED OCTOBER 2017 FROM VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC. 3800 HAMLIN ROAD AUBURN HILLS, MI 48326 WITH A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY VEHICLE NHTSA: 17V509 STATING 'UNDER SPECIFIC OPERATING CONDITIONS, AN INTERRUPTION IN THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE CAN RESULT IN FUEL PUMP FAILURE AND LEAD TO A LOSS OF VEHICLE MOTIVE POWER WHILE DRIVING (VEHICLE STALL). THIS CONDITION CAN ALSO CAUSE THE FUEL PUMP TO RUN CONTINUOUSLY, RESULTING IN A DRAINED VEHICLE BATTERY AND/OR A NO-START CONDITION.' THIS MEANS AN ENGINE CAN STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. THIS IS VERY ALARMING TO ME, AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY ALONG WITH MY INFANT SON WHO IS A PASSENGER IN MY CAR DAILY. I HAVE CALLED 2 LOCAL VW DEALERSHIPS (DORSCHEL & IDE VOLKSWAGEN) IN ROCHESTER, NY AND HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT THERE IS 'NO FIX' AT THE MOMENT. I OWE OVER $10,000 ON THIS VEHICLE CURRENTLY AND HAVE LIMITED INCOME SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE AND DRIVE IT. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND SEVERAL RECALLS. I HAVE PUT OVER $2,200 IN REPAIRS ON THIS CAR IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS FOR DEFECTIVE SENSORS AND WIRING. THIS NEW RECALL CAN DIRECTLY CAUSE A DEADLY ACCIDENT AND I AM AT A LOST FOR WORDS!

EXPLODING SUNROOF. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I HEAD A SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. I LOOKED AROUND AND NOTICED MY SUNSCREEN FOR THE SUNROOF HAD JUMPED OPEN AND SAW A HOLE IN MY SUNROOF AND THE WHOLE THING WAS SHATTERED. I SLOWLY EXITED THE FREEWAY AND DROVE HOME HOLDING THE SUNSCREEN IN PLACE SO AS NOT TO HAVE GLASS FALL ON ME, I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND BROUGHT IT TO THE GLASS REPAIR SHOP THEY DESIGNATED FOR REPAIR.
