Purchased vehicle in December 2017. In July, the check engine light came on. Fast forward to November and I am still having issues with the vehicle, and it seems that anytime the dealership fixes one issue, another appears. After having my vehicle at the dealership 4 times between July 25th and August 7th, it was finally discovered that I had a bad catalytic converter. After the catalytic converter was finally replaced in September, the check engine light came on again and this time I was told it was a bad oxygen sensor. After that was finally replaced, another error light came on that was identified as something else, and I had to wait for a new part to come in. After waiting several weeks, that part came in, repairs were completed, and another issue came up. My car has now been at the dealership for 21 days straight (this time), and I still have not received an eta on when it should be fixed. Problems have mostly been associated with check engine light and front assist (collision detection system) sensors, but now the issues have expanded to most of the car's internal computer system in general. Vehicle was in a wreck in May 2018 when another driver pulled out in front of me. Front assist errors are being attributed by dealer to the wreck, but the check engine and other computer errors, including issues with ABS control module (latest problem) are not and are being covered under warranty

The coolant warning light went on 3 days ago. When I first start the engine in the morning or after hours of parking, the coolant warning light went on. After the engine temperature goes up, I have to turn the engine off and on again to have the coolant warning light disappeared. This is an one year old vehicle which has 10500 miles. I have driven 6 brands of vehicles in my life but this is the very first time to have a coolant problem. I checked that no coolant leaking and shortages.

The most concerning safety issue is the malfunctioning auto start/stop system. On four occasions, it has shut off the vehicle while in motion, pulling into a parking spot, resulting in loss of power steering. On a separate occasion, it shut-off the vehicle while stopping to pay the parking attendant but failed to restart the vehicle when I released the brake and step on the accelerator. I had to put the vehicle in park and manually restart the vehicle. I have also had multiple experiences when I have turned off the auto start/start when I started the vehicle only to have it reactivate itself and shut-off the vehicle when I stopped at an intersection. Other issues involve the "infotainment" system and climate control electronics. On multiple occasions, the radio has turned itself on after I have turned it off. As for the climate control system, it periodically deactivates the rear passenger compartment climate control and shuts off airflow to the rear passenger compartment and I have to manually reset the system through the button on the dashboard. These experiences indicate the vehicle electronic and software systems are unstable and the Volkswagen dealer has not been able to fix the issues, as they have recurred after the dealer claimed to fix the issues. I am concerned about my family's safety in this malfunctioning vehicle. The date below is the most recent event involving the auto start/stop system. The first occurrence was in mid-February 2018, approximately two weeks after purchasing the vehicle.

Recall 20ah is completely unnaceptable. There are 8 different possible repairs that fall under this recall. These repairs range from airbag software updates to sunroof repairs. How is it legal for them to combine these repairs? as a mechanic and a consumer it is bad for business as the various parts/ inspections neccessary make it nearly impossible to accomodate the repairs.

Excessive oil consumption. Used 1and 1/2 quarts of oil at 3250 miles(which was added by the dealer service dept. Today 1/2/18) was bought as a new vehicle 9/17 with only 12 miles on odometer.(12/25/17) first the check engine light lit, they said it was the gas cap.one week later the check oil level alarm lit. They checked it said no external leaks, they added the 1 1/2 quart oil, said to keep an eye on the level. I am scared to take this car on any trips with this car. Also the coolant level was at the minimum level, the service open the cap and the level did rise, but why is that?
