Read complaints for VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE CONVERTIBLE (2015)
Randomly you cannot turn off the car. You try and turn the key and it is stuck in the on position. You can turn toward start, but not off. You may have to put it in gear and drive around for a few minutes for it to turn off. Have tried to put in gear, and back out without any luck, have also tried to force, but do not want to break the key. I guess it is the same as the jetta issue, which they have confirmed, and are resolving. If you had to shut off in emergency you would not be able to do this. Now happening a couple times a week.
Bluetooth speakerphone does not work. In our state handsfree calling is required. At this point it is a safety risk. We have had it in the dealership at least 30 days over different times. It was escalated to vw, but all they could do was say it is a known defect, and offer 14% to buy another vw. Seems strange they would not do more while under mfg warranty.
The contact owns a 2015 volkswagen beetle convertible. While driving various speeds, the check engine sensor illuminated and the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. The vehicle was taken to ancira volkswagen (6125 bandera rd, san antonio, tx) where it was diagnosed that the engine camshaft was faulty and needed to be repaired. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 84,000. The vin was invalid.
The car has about 33000 miles. The bushings on the linkage are worn out already. We have clanking sounds when pulling into driveway, or turning. Told by dealership this is too soon. Seems to be a defect in parts.
