In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 1.0 yr in service
Doors unlocking randomly back seat occupants cannot open the door when the car is unlocked and parked. They put a stop sale on all cars in the making because it’s deemed unsafe to sale but a car that is less than 2 months old is deemed safe and won’t buy back.
Electrical system mileage not reported 1.1 yr in service
Volkswagon is being irresponsible with their response to resolving the door issue on my vehicle. The door has opened twice while driving as clearly related to an electrical issue. This is a very dangerous scenario as I cannot predict which door opens at which time. It could be any. I have a video of my door jamb. My vehicle is brand new with 0 damage, this is clearly a manufacturer defect that VW is neglecting to resolve timely.
Electrical system mileage not reported 1.2 yr in service
On 3 different occasions in the last 2 weeks, everything mechanical shutdown accept for the ability to drive. This means all lights, computer systems, dashboards, etc. It was everything electrical accept for the ability to press on the gas, brake, and steer as these 3 things were fine though I could not see my speed either. It, meaning all 3 occurrences, were a total blackout. Ciocca Volkswagon in Flemington tried to give me an appointment 1 month out. I got the manager and he said I will be in the shop 1 week and should get a call. No call to date.
