Beetle

  • 86,988 miles
Car pulls hard to the left nearly causing a accident on several occasions..this happens all the time. Sept. 20, 2010 took the 2000 new VW Beetle into the VW dealership to have vehicle check out and repaired. This is the list of things they found wrong! 1. rear axle bushings on both side was broken with one bushing was inside of frame which causes the car to swerve. 2. frontend alignment needs to be done. 3. rear emergency brake cable needs to be replace because it causes one rear wheel to drag. We never use the emergency brake since the VW is a automatic. Parts had to be ordered and a later date for repairs.

Car rolled-over very easily after going off road when drive lost control on icy surface. My concern is based on the car rolling over too easily. Do not believe the grade that cause the roll over would have caused any other vehicle to roll. This indicates to me that the VW Beetle may not be designed correctly.
