Keithchue 5th Gear February 14, 2014 Share February 14, 2014 Mine is new Sharan delivered from VW in Sep 13. Less than 5 months and this what happen today...... The sliding doors on both side were opened. All the windows wound down including the sun roof. All this happened in a public car park, after I parked my car, for work. Send the car to VW and after the diagnostic, I was informed that there is an intermittent impulse signal fault. My milage is less 10k km and the coolant had started to flash at the same time today Had any VW owners experienced any similar issues before? mine also having "it is normal" reply from VW, really crap.... now escalating to a level above - after sales manager (dont know), my sales lady also given up on talking to their management. epic, case ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic February 15, 2014 Share February 15, 2014 I think for their car servicing dept they are already numb to the complaints. That's why every complaints about the cars have become "norm". Nothing surprises them anymore except maybe praises or someone claims how reliable the car is. LoL... Maybe VW is associated with SMRT.

Wolfverine Twincharged May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 I don't deny that VW/Audi has its fair share of "reliability" issue compared to Japanese makes. I have both a VW as well as a Estima. The Estima is one that has minimal issues and the only time it is in workshop is when servicing is due ! However, the VW might be in for minor jobs like warning lights etc besides the regular servicing . And yes, the coolant issue is well known as I experienced that with my VW but to me, it is not a biggy. Having said all that, I must say that I still enjoy the drive of the VW more than the Estima. It is more fun and there is this indescribable affinity when you drive one. This is even so when I tested the Sharan recently so as to ensure I'm comparing MPV vs MPV. In addition, I tested the Ody too just to make sure that I'm not biased. To me, a car is more than a utility to move from point A to B. Although I must say that I really appreciate the reliability of Estima, I can't say that I enjoy driving it. It is quite a different story with the Sharan. Conclusion is I will go with the Sharan than the Ody/Estima and I am fine having to live with the minor peculiarities that come with the VW car ownership !
