A huge amount of 2.0L engines (1998-2006) seem to stall when driving or stationary after 20 min from cold start in high temps (+75F) . Loss of power steering and power assist brakes. It happened to me 2X while driving 45 mph. Scary. Dealers and mechanics can't locate issues because its intermittent. Cars operate normal again after 10-20 mins. see http://newbeetle.org/forums/2-0-liter-gas/139065-hot-weather-stop-go-car-stalls-dangerous-2.html#post1508562 for a list of different sites all listing similar issues. Apparently, and according to my research, the issue stopped on model yr 2007 and higher.

I read the recall announcement in the paper (nhtsa 17v-509, VW 20AE) regarding the fuel pump cut out. I have complained to VW a number of times over the years that my VW engine stops when driving between 55 and 65 mph. the service writers response was that the fuel pump needs to be replaced - a $1000 item. other mechanics that I've asked have said that if that was the case the engine would not get fuel and not work and that it was probably something else. when I read the symptoms reported in 20AE, they were exactly what I have experienced many times, but not consistently. at 65 mph when the engine cuts out, the deceleration IS almost immediate to 50 mph. the symptoms started about 8-10 years ago. I have not driven the car on the freeway since because I was nearly run over by a cement truck. the article I read said that no known crashes or injuries were caused by the problem. please consider expanding the investigation to include the 2001 new beetle to see if there were any serious injuries due to this issue. I believe my issue IS exactly the same as the issue reported in the press.

Car was illegally repossessed (i own the vehicle but used it as collateral in a small loan) november 29, 2016 while I was in another state. I then received a email from carfax that the odometer was changed and gave me the new mileage. I purchased the car in march of 2015 and the mileage was over 155,000 miles but now it reports 124, 685 miles which IS not an error but intentional and obvious odometer fraud! I have attached several photos showing the dealership website's log of mileage when I bought it, the picture of my odometer as of october 2015 (when it was no longer able to drive due to oil leak from valve cover), and the email screenshot from carfax showing the odometer fraud. The new owners of the vehicle are peter landry of for financial in donaldsonville, louisiana 225 473 7652

Coolant system can not be fixed. When driving, sometimes the coolant will be boiling. Sometimes the coolant level IS low lead the coolant system light on. When add more coolant to the water tank, after several miles driving, the coolant level will be higher than normal. it runs well then the coolant system/overheating light will be on. Keep driving then the light will be off. Then it will be off. mechanics tried to clean and replace the whole coolant system. But the overheating issue happened again and again. Then after they tried four times, I was told that I need to get rid of the car cause they cannot fix it. And they knew other people's VW new beetle(2000) has the same issue. Seems like not only my beetle bug's problem.

I think there are air bubbles in the fuel injection pump. I have no money to repair it. I need it to go back and forth to work.

Forums concerning this VW model, and other models both older and newer, are replete with reports of the cars stalling with symptoms of starved fuel, usually arising when the tank IS less than half full. See, e.g., http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4971876-car-stalling-while-at-speed-is-low-fuel-the-problem. My vehicle suffers from identical symptoms. Other owners attempt to solve the problem by (1) cleaning the fuel tank; (2) replacing the fuel pump; (3) replacing the speed sensor; (4) replacing the crank sensor; (5) replacing the fuel filter; (6) replacing the fuel pump relay; and (7) cleaning the fuel tank. In most cases, based on review from these forums, the problem IS not permanently solved and recurs while driving causing the car to stall and creating a threat to life safety. I cannot believe VW IS unaware of this problem based on the multitude of reports. Yet, I have seen nothing from VW that addresses this issue. If no investigation has been launched on this issue, nhtsa should launch one.

I am the 2ND or 3RD third owner, and I should have checked this car out further, since whomever ('s) sold it to me didn't tell me a [xxx] thing was wrong with the car. I am so disgusted about this incident of buying basically a lemon from dishonest creeps. I only drove it once before I handed over every hard earned penny I had saved over such a lengthy time due to the fact I am a struggling single mother. I don't get child support nor welfare, thank you! I paid all I had literally ever saved up ever in my whole life. (Yes I am that poor to be quite frank) I paid $4500 for a 2001 VW new beetle. I have always only ever heard excellent things of vw's, there for I just pray and wish that VW would help!!!!!!!!!!!! now I am without transportation to get to and from work, as well as my children to and from school. I can't even drive to get groceries or anything! help!! why can't VW at least pay to have it fixed? I am just to poor. I am looking into a law suit. dishonest VW, why can't you just be honest and fix your error and wrong doing? They sell these beetles knowingly to innocent trusting families, single moms, etc: etc;, and that alone I believe should be grounds enough for a hell of a law suit. they knowingly put women, children, and innocent people's lives in serious danger with no conscience what so ever. buying a VW IS like playing russian roulette. for you, your children, your family, loved ones and friends. [xxx] even innocent by standers and passer byes. fix my beetle evil creeps.

The light on my dash came on for the drivers airbag and had it checked by the dealer march, 2010 for my 2001 VW beetle 1.9 diesel. I was told the chip in the seat belt had gone bad needs to be replaced. Approx. $175.00 the service dept. Called VW and they could not tell me if my defective chip in the seatbelt will deploy upon impact. 50% chance it might. I have noticed all the $ I have put into this car VW generally IS not on the recall lists for anything. also, the headlight bulbs generally burn out every year and they need to be replaced. VW doesn't tell how to change the bulbs in the manual. Had to go to the dealer to show how to change a light bulb which I feel IS a safety issue. I will not buy another VW because they do not back up their product. Also I know this my be old information but I didn't know where I could report this until I saw something in the paper. I don't know many other vw's out there are with this type of problem but I have talked to VW complaint dept. And all they told me IS that they go off of dealers records. I really don't believe it because some of the problems I have had either does n't change for fixing or VW fixes some of the problems in the next models coming out of which I am stuck with the problem. no help from VW. *tr

First noticed it when starting it up in the morning.rough and stalling when putting it in reverse. Never did that before. It has to warm up before I can drive it because it will either stall in reverse, or in drive the car will shudder and take off, it will not idle.when in park it IS fine when in drive at stoplights it will surge forward. I have to either press the brake pedal as hard as I can and that doesn't always work,or put it in park or neutral!!!! That was the beginning of my troubles.it gradually over time stopped shifting either before it reaches 3RD gear or after. I only have 60,000 plus miles on it and it still should be in the powertrain warranty. That it IS 2013 it IS 12 years after I purchased it !! That's an average of 5,000 miles a year driving! And it still has a defective transmission!! I cannot believe there IS no recall on this! They say it IS the valve body that IS the culprit! Then VW better issue me a free replacement! I cannot believe I have to shell out my hard earned money for their screw up! If this valve body has done irreparable damage to my tranny they will have to replace the whole transmission as well! less than 65,000 miles and having a defective part they know about they have to honor that powertrain warranty! I will need safercar.gov and or nhtsa help in this matter! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr
