Bought car one year and a half ago. Buy car used with 40,000 miles on it. Started having issues with the power steering and leaning at idle. Car skids very easily and rain, can easily cause crashes. Car airbags were recalled.

Beetle

  • 66,000 miles
When going over speed bumps or bumps in roads, the suspension is squeaky. In motion on city streets the gas cap became defective and the check engine light is on. Service department at VW states the gas cap needs replaced. There is now a noise on the back right panel behind the gas cap after turning off car.

Beetle 4-cyl

  • 97,000 miles
After exiting the freeway and completing a curve to the right I was on a straight section of the off ramp going approx. 35 mph. I applied the brakes and a moderate vibration was felt in the front end/brakes. The car spun out and hit a sign then a wall with the rear of the vehicle.
