All of a sudden you are driving the car and it stalls, you try to accelerate it and it doesn't move and turns off in the middle of the highway. Big safety concern. It has happened several times and has been to the VW dealer service department 4 times already at kuhn's in Florida. All service records are at this dealer. Still the problem hasn't been fixed.

Door hinge suspension this is the 2nd VW Beetle convertible we have owned. 1st was a 2006. Both cars have experienced door hinge issues. My feeling is the doors are too heavy for the hinge suspension. It has happened on driver and passenger side. Noise, then the small pin suspension snaps.
