Your system is mislabeling cars. Search for 2017 golf r. It shows 58 complaints. If you look at the cars tied to these complaints it's vw alltracks. I want people to see the issues i'm having with my cars but i need you to fix the website. Please help. I find it strange that this is happening to vw after all the issues they have had.
I have a 2017 golf r equipped with dsg transmission, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Occasionally the car would make a continuous and periodic clicking noise that can last for a few minutes when in motion and when brake is not applied. As soon as i step on the brake, the clicking stops. When brake pedal is released, the clicking comes back. The problem started in may/june 2018 when the car had approximately 14000 miles, and has been doing that every once in a while since then. I brought it to a vw dealer in july 2018, but because this is an intermittent issue, they were unable to find out the root cause. There was no error code either. However they suspected that the noise was coming from certain relays in the abs / braking system, which is concerning as it could potentially be a safety issue.a video of the problem can be seen here: https://streamable.com/pl4xk
While driving in the left hand lane on a divided 4-lane (2 lanes each direction) road, a car in front of me slowed in order to make a left hand turn. I braked to slow, looked and saw space in the adjacent lane, moved into that lane and pressed the accelerator to get to the speed of the approaching traffic in that lane. There was no throttle response at first so the approaching traffic was quickly closing the gap. I lifted my foot off the accelerator and then immediately pressed it again at which the throttle responded and i was able to accelerate to the speed of the approaching traffic (in this case a large dump truck) and narrowly avoided a rear-end collision. I have complained of this kind of throttle response hesitation at service visits to two different vw dealers, both of which were unable to reproduce the condition and for which they detected no error codes. I bought the car as a used car in feb 2019. The vw dealership from which i bought the car did not disclose any such problem with the car, which car they claimed to have provided service for the previous owner. The problem has occurred intermittently since i have owned the car and i have been unable to reproduce it successfully for service personnel during service visits. Today's occurrence was the closest i have come to a collision with another vehicle. With the next occurrence i might not be so lucky.
Was driving down the freeway when the car lost coolant. Discovered road debris had punctured the secondary heat exchanger located on the lower front passenger side. The front facia provides absolutely no protection from debris and other damage was noted on the exchanger surface. Had to pull over as the engine overheated and get the car taken to the dealer for repairs. This seems to be a design flaw - searching the internet there are several incidences of punctured heat exchangers.
From 3 months of ownership until now 12 months i have been experiencing multiple engine misfires. I've taken it to the dealership but that has been hopeless. They simply clear the code and it pops back up on my way back home.it's a little frustrating when you pay $40,000 for a car and experience problems in as little as 2000 miles.
Pcv (positive crankcase ventilation) valve malfunction.vw's pcv valve, also sometimes called the oil separator valve, which is found on many of their cars/suvs becomes faulty around 40-50k miles.what often happens is the the valve fails to vent internal engine pressure, which causes the pressure to build up within theengine.eventtually the pressure will find some place to vent, usually out of weakest oil gasket point, often being the rear main seal and valve cover.since the exhaust is behind the engine, there is a chance that oil can spray onto the hot exhaust.my golf leaked oil from the rear main seal when the pcv failed.even though the car was under warranty, vw didn't want to diagnose the problem unless i was willing to pay for it.this malfunctioning pcv valve is a regular problem on vw's and could pose a root failure leading to a potential vehicle fire.
The infotainment system randomly resets during usage regardless of what mode the system is in (both in terms of drive mode or music listening mode). During a reset, all access to advanced safety features, drive mode selection, traction control selections, are disabled. The screen goes completely black and then turns back on usually with a different interface mode activated (bluetooth vs radio, for instance). All steering wheel controls are disabled during a reset. This freeze and reset can occur while moving or while stationary. Additionally, the re-view camera, while in review, does not work if the reset takes place while backing up. The review camera also inconsistently works at all. The reset has taken place at both surface street speeds but also at highway speeds.

We purchased the (new) car on june 09, 2017. 5 days after we purchased, we found out the transmission had been replaced and that fact was not disclosed by the dealership.the dealership maintains they are not required to disclose service actions and further stated vw concurred.vw maintains the recall was issued by nhtsa. Here is their email response indicating same:reference # 170784881thank you for reaching back out to me. I apologize for the delay in my response, as well as for the experiences you've had with your vehicle and the dealer. I can see that you have been in contact with sarah g., who was the region case manager who had worked your previous case, as well as that she has reached out to the dealer to try and turn the experience around.from our understanding, the transmission was replaced due a service action that was issued by nhsta. The repairs that were completed before purchase were to benefit the safety of vehicle, as well as the driver(s). I apologize that that dealer did not disclose this information to you at the time of purchase; however, the dealer was just doing as they were told by nhtsa. At this time, there wouldn't be anything further that vwgoa would be able to do. Any resolution you're seeking would need to come from the dealer level.if you have any other concerns, please contact volkswagen group of america at 800-822-8987 or chat or email us at www.vw.com.i have complete email and text documentation from the dealer and vw.a total of 250 2017 vw golf r's are supposed to be affected.is vw correct in that nhtsa issued the recall or service action? don't vw and the dealer have an obligation to disclose that a major safety/performance component was replaced prior to the sale?
Premature clutch failure; clutch was worn and required replacement at 25 months and 16,000 miles. Made car dangerous and hard to drive in traffic.

"razor-like" material/defect on front of shift boot trim near the ingress to the front cubby area has cut me multiple times; drawing blood each time, when taking my phone in and out of the cubby. This cubby is designed to hold a phone, as there is a usb port and connects the driver's phone to the apple carplay unit. The material that has come off the trim that forms a thin "razor", seems to have delaminated from the trim. Vw seems to be aware of the issue.skin that was removed by the trim can be seen in the following attached shots.
