2012 Volkswagen BEETLE Visibility Power Window Devices And Controls Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	942555
Internal NHTSA #	10476927
Manufacurer	VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	BEETLE
Model Year	2012
File date	28/08/12
Component	VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The driver and passenger windows do not go up or down on command when the button has been pressed. Once the window does go down (usually on its own) it is very difficult to get the windows back up. I feel this is a safety issue as it allows the elements (ie moisture) to enter the vehicle while it is parked and could contribute to further malfunctions of the electrical components that control other aspects of the car (electronic transmission, push button start, traction control, etc). Vw has been unresponsive to owners complaints to this issue (check youtube, twitter, and forums). Thank you.
