| My 2005 volkswagen new beetle has the same bad window regulators as the rest of the recalled ones. the airbag light is also on without any wrecks to my auto vin # 3vwck31c05m405309. i've reported it twice to stevens volkswagen of wichita,ks and once to volkswagen of america reference number: 810010103. i have not received any answer from volkswagen of america . the only reply i got from stevens volkswagen of wichita,ks is that they will charge me 130.00 just to decide if i'm covered under the window regulator recalls and or the airbag light malfunctions. | |||

| I own a 2005 volkswagen bettle convertiable. the passenger side window exploded making a very loud noise,while my wife was driving it in our subdivision. this same window had been repaired about 6 months prior because it was rattling. it was repaired by the dealer. the morning the window exploded was the coldest morning since it had been repaired-39 degrees. i car had been parked in our garage that evening. the garage was much warmer than the outside ambient air. within one minute of my wife driving the car from the garage the window exploded. had she been on a major road this could have turned into a serious accident. i think volkswagen is having problems with their side windows rattling on thier convertible models. the drivers side window has started to rattle. this incident may have something to do with the manner the dealer fixed it from rattling. | |||

| I brought my car in a few days to not receive a call at all on the status as i brought it in to have the back driver side window fixed due to it would not go up at all. the dealer kept it for two days and not even provide me with a loaner car- worse customer service i have ever received!!!! i will never get a vw car ever !! nor would i recommend it to anyone else. i just received my car back to not even have the window fixed nor a date of when it will be fixed due to the part is on national back order. i purchased the car a few months ago and i have nothing but issues with this car nor does the dealer want to assist in resolving them. i received my car back to have tubes sticking out of the back window preventing me from putting it down and it looks horrible which i believe rain would go in and they seem okay that i should be fine with this. *tr | |||

| For several days vw shrewsbury motors failed to call me on the status of my car due to the rear driver side window not being able to go up nor a loaner car provided. the worse customer service i received!!!! but my car was not fixed at all but to receive the car back with a window that still does not go up but to have tubes sticking out to prevent me from putting the window. but to top this all off they can not give me a date of when the part will come in because it is on national back order which to my is not acceptable at all!!!! i have one month of good weather and i can not put the top down nor the windows and i purchased the car a few months ago and i do not have a date of when it will be fixed. i will never buy a vw again!!!! *tr | |||
