What owners report
1)The tubing that takes the windshield fluid from the tank to the actual sprayers and the heating element for the washer fluid (not important but was also damaged due to flaw in design. Yes it is still available for inspection. 2)Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501:2-1-16, every motor vehicle manufactured after January 1, 1968, must be equipped with a windshield washer system maintained in operable condition at all times, capable of cleaning the windshield to provide a clear view for the driver. Due to their flaw in design there are years of Eosâs without just this! Vwâs fix, pay for a fix where you crushed the line with the hood. They have now set us up for a minor misdemeanor Failing t
When pushing the driver side seat belt into the buckle, it instantly unlatched buckles. Yea it can be inspected. If in a car accident the driver could be seriously injured or fatally injured. I contacted Germain Westerville, Ohio who informed me itâs not under warranty and it would be $500 - $600 dollars. Contacted corporate who said itâs out of warranty but will have a supervisor call my on December 16,2025 It has not been inspected by police or insurance, itâs the only car I have to drive not sure how police are going to respond to that.

I have the RNS510 radio which the NHTSA has received concerns about and there are several Tec Bulletins in regards to the radio not functioning properly. When this radio goes out due to the need of over priced software update, we loose our Bluetooth and backup cameras! Backup camera we installed so the drive could make sure they were not running over any small children on the ground and when that element fails and it falls on deaf ears here to make them fix that and their know faulty cameras, is the NHTSA going to take responsibility for the dead child that wasnât yours so you would be looking as closely for one but if the know faulty system actually worked that child had a better chance o
We have the Xenon headlights, which requires us to have headlight washers on our cars due to safety issue for the other drivers on the road so they donât get blinded, whoâs is great if 1) they worked most of the time 2) people did not start pulling the fuse or discontinuing the hose so it hit the ground. See Volkswagen has a know issue, that when they pop out to spray the headlights, they are known to break the cover!
