German cars are losing the debate in the reliability survey.

Sometimes I struggle really hard to understand what is really going on in the head.

A place in Australia, but still interesting to read.
I hate it when I get a phone call or an email from a Volkswagen owner experiencing reliability issues with their car because I feel somehow responsible party not warn them stronger or more often on the grief of 'hidden love to own a Volkswagen as a world car of the judge of the year I voted for three winners Volkswagen over the past four years - because cars are superb to drive and a well-executed design that s however becoming increasingly clear, is that Volkswagen cars are not as beautifully done I took a phone call to the radio last night of a VW owner Sydney who has had problems with his car for years and is out pocket after it was fully aware of the drama that's been brewing in Melbourne, I felt really helpless, like VW owners I think.
Long Volkswagen permanent reliability issues have returned to the spotlight in the past fortnight after the coroner's inquest into a fatal accident involving a Volkswagen Golf that suddenly seemed slow, he was hit behind by a truck on a Melbourne freeway 2011 the driver of the Golf died.
The coroner's inquiry prompted phone calls and emails VW customers who reported a wide range of mechanical problems, including engines and gearboxes conking who may hesitate between gears, slowing the car in potentially dangerous situations.
Other customers complain engines to idle rough or use too much oil The overwhelming feedback, however, is that Volkswagen Australia, in the view of the customer, doesn t seem to take quite serious problems.
Indeed, some dealers have become so exasperated by the lack VW response, they begged customers to take their concerns to the head office.
But it seems VW Australia, too, is hung to dry by its headquarters in Wolfsburg News Limited understands that the German automaker refused to issue a recall locally for the wide range of issues affecting cars here despite the fact VW vehicles recalled for similar mechanical defects in North America, China, Singapore and Malaysia.
Instead, VW Australia correct 4000 models selected through a service campaign and invited affected customers bring their cars for inspection It instructed dealers to put more cars on loan to their fleet meet increased demand Suite a service campaign for 8700 cars in 2010 for engines turned rough idling or shudders.
But now VW action is almost too little too late VW allowed this to drag on for years too long too long Carsguide The site of VW customer concerns from the years and the number of complaints has increased.
This is why I believe there is a real risk that this latest debacle will make a dent in future sales VW Clearly the events over the last fortnight have already put a dent in consumer confidence in the brand.
VW has experienced phenomenal growth in Australia over the last decade of his last year Golf sedan even outsold Holden Commodore in a particular month, but the number of buyers who have since expressed regret about the purchase a Volkswagen is amazing.
Australians take Japanese reliability for granted because nearly half of all new cars sold here are made in Japan, but the reality is the Japanese car quality surveys regularly broadcasts the best in the world it is not the norm it is the reference When visiting the European car makers factories, it is not uncommon to see the parts denuded Japanese cars in the rear corners as they learn to do their best.
Over the past 10 years, more and more Australians were treating themselves to a European car waiting for better reliability, but many were stunned and disappointed to find the opposite is true.
Me and my media colleagues see the car every day a friend, a family member or someone in the office wants to buy a VW or another upscale brand Most of us warn comments we regularly receive on iffy reliability and high service costs little but we can change their minds.
So if you ask me if you should buy a Volkswagen, is my standard answer he has been for a while now trying to sell it before the factory warranty period of three years expires - and the budget a few days of inconvenience every year until then you are likely to take the car for unplanned maintenance If you still want to buy a new VW following this advice, you have my blessings They are great to drive, but I wouldn t buy one second hand without a mechanic you know and trust that you will have to read the countless blogs from disgruntled owners.
As I can only hope for the caller last night and his troublesome Volkswagen, it is among the 4000 VW will contact customers in its last acts of service.
Meanwhile, don t hold your breath for one of our consumer groups and government authorities to act We lowest lemon laws in the developed world maybe why VW recalls were issued abroad and not here.
