Description of the problem	Purchased 2005 vw beetle with 7,300 miles assured full warranty.... Guaranteed paint on front bumper would be corrected... Did it twice still peeling off.... Electric windows repaired twice.... Began making noises when weather was damp... Took it to be checked out and was assured it would not always happen but normal... Told them transmission seemed to be slipping.... One headlight had a short, and then recall on brakelight... They did repair that... But informed me that was all they had time to do that do due to recall... Gas cap cover was sticking as well... Didn't fix it either.... Then my air bag light came on... Took it in for recall on that ... After it was supposedly fixed airbag light did not go off, insisted it had nothing to do with sensor that was recalled... Noise in front end began and floorboard flooded during heavy rain.... With no obvious entry point.... Did search for problems with vw beetles and there are thousands having the very same problems i have been experiencing.... Now heat gauge light comes off and on, alarm randomly sounds..... But noise in front end concerns me greatly... Would not even diagnose car without $98 bucks an hour labor charge to find problems.... This car only has 34,952 miles on it and it is falling apart... No way can all these problems be fixed and me make payments.... But thousands are having these very same problems... Why has our government not insisted on a recall.....

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
