2011 Volkswagen GTI Unknown Or Other Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	This is my third volkswagen model, particularly golf gti model in ten years, and for the third time, like clockwork, the air con has died before 48k miles on the odometer. All signs point to a faulty sensor on the compressor that dies, and typically shrapnels the compressor, dry, and other critical air con systems, causing zero cold air to blow. Vw has a recall or an open tsb for this faulty sensor and the parts affected by it on previous models after several complaints, but refuses to extend any compensation or assistance for the facelifted mk6 generation. Vw is cheapening out and using the same exact parts as before, and hoping to slide under the radar to avoid having to shell out costs to fix and repair for the newer generations. This is absurd. Vw should be ashamed for putting such a flawed combination of inept systems together and call it "the people's car". What a joke.

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.
