| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 beetle with the 1.8t engine. my car has been disabled twice due to defective coil packs. research on the vwvortex.com website revealed there is a large history of problems with these coil packs which can fail at any time rendering the vehicle undriveable. there is currently a shortage of this part (part # 06b-905-115-j coil) due to the volume of vehicles that have had this problem. vwvortex is recommending owners contact nhtsa to facilitate a recall of coil packs as vw is unwilling to address the issue at this time. it is a safety issue because they can fail while driving resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. |
