problem #1

Nov 092012

GLI Autobahn W/Nav 2.0L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10 miles

The front passenger speaker would rattle every time I turned on the stereo. I thought at first it was too much bass in the stereo, but no matter how low I had the bass set the speaker would still rattle. This rattling basically caused me to never turn on the radio in the car, which sucks when the car is brand new. The dealership found out that the speaker was cracked and replaced it to fix the issue. Even though the issue was fixed, this problem (in addition to about 9 more issues) on a brand new, less than a week old are simply unacceptable. I understand that mistakes happen on the assembly line and that cars aren't perfect, but driving off the lot with 10 issues and counting (a few of which are much more than just "annoyances") is a serious cause for concern and a represent a noted lack of quality control on VW's part.
