We have had the car 1 week and noticed the windows have a mind of their own in terms of rolling up.
It stops halfway up and then lowers to where you see about an inch of the glass and after several attempts, we get it back up.
At one time it was all the way down and would do nothing when we pulled up on switch, just sat there. Both windows behave this way. I will be calling my dealership in the morning but almost afraid of what they tell me after reading about all the problems with out any solutions that worked.
Had a 74 Beetle and drove it for 10 years with no air conditioning. Recently purchased a used, 1 owner, 2012 Turbo, 4 Cylinder Beetle and I cannot believe how well this car handles the road. It has everything I’ve ever wanted in a Beetle. Very, very happy customer I am.
M Prim, my wife. She's more upset than I am at this point. I'm just becoming more and more disappointed with VW with each passing day. My 25yr love affair with them is dwindling. Yes, the windows when it was new, was something I lived with. I truly loved the car. Besides who rolls down windows in Houston, TX during the summer? The Beetle has been awesome fun to drive and I even cherished washing her. At the 80k maintenance, i had to have a valve cover gasket and another gasket replaced because she was leaking oil. Ok, another $750 to the already expensive 80k. 2 weeks later and I'm having to get the water pump replaced for another $1000. I know tires are part of owning a car but I just, 2 days ago, dropped $800 on new rubber. I'm trying to keep a cool head and not just sell it. I really wanted to get 300,000 miles out of this car.
Road test, and make sure manufacturer maintenance has been done. Perky car to drive with turbo, feels solid, and feels comfortable and ready to take on road trip. Dealer made purchase easy, car hadnt had 2nd manufacturer maint when pruchsed becasue of low miles. A special car for me and my family, a surprise. Have had many VW's in past, never a Beetle, and this is very nice.
