What the Volkswagen records can tell us
The Volkswagen profiles cover 13 nameplates and 91 model-year entries. The matched source records contain 8,822 submitted complaints across 89 model-year entries. 2 entries could not be matched to a source name and are excluded from this total. The count does not adjust for vehicle sales or time on the road.
Electrical System leads the displayed component tags with 2,164 mentions. One complaint can name several components. The tags describe submitted reports, not the chance of a repair.
The matched records contain 379 recall/model-year entries; a complete unique campaign count is unavailable. A campaign can cover several model years. Recall remedies are separate from a paid service contract. Recall and complaint archives were retrieved 2026-10-18. The 41,658 manufacturer communications retain the 2026-09-03 source snapshot; they were not refreshed with those archives.
