2012 Volkswagen BEETLE Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Recurring issues with door power windows. Takes approximately 6-7 attempts to secure or roll them up after opening; unsure if they will completely fail and eventually not roll up at all. Safety issue concerns: unable to roll up windows against adverse weather conditions and freeway debris, (rain and debris can damage electrical circuitry located next to door and debris can injure driver; rain/wind/debris can impair drivers visibility if window cannot be rolled up properly); in addition, in an emergency situation that would require sheltering in place in this vehicle; such as an assault, robbery etc. The inability for the consumer to roll up their windows presents a real life-safety threat. After having researched on-line and spoken to the dealership which i purchased my vehicle from, this serious problem has been known for approximately a year, and i was told (4 months ago) that i would be placed on a back-stock order list for the revised electrical modem that would resolved this problem. I have called for follow-up information and an eta on the part. They were unable to provided me with new information or an eta. This is clearly a problem that 1) they (manufacture and dealership) cannot fix 2) have not found a fix for (manufacturer) and have been lying to the consumer about (manufacturer/dealership) 3) have not elevated to the proper priority level to find a fix for (manufacturer).
