in Volkswagen
I was driving yesterday for the first time with A/C on and windows closed and noticed instrument panel shadow in driver's side window. It was blocking the view in the mirror, not to mention it was very annoying. Anyone else has experienced the same problem? Is it a car design or a defective glass? Thanks in advance

Driving down the road and all of a sudden the EPS light and warning triangle w/ arrow circle around it (anti slip regulation) light came on and the car had loss of power.
Makes me wonder is it VW, David Maus, or just a [non-permissible content removed] battery that VW installs on the cheap meant to crap out after 24 months so you have to purchase a new one so soon? Anyone else out there with this battery issue yet?
Letl me know.
The car has had is maintenance but the garage that did the service doesn't know how to reset this message, plus the owners manual is not helpful.
Thanks.
1. the heat doesnt work---all the fixings for the heat to work is running fine but there is just not hot air coming out the fans blow hard and everything but no heat...the heated seats work perfectly but no hot air im seeing that it could be a couple things like a clogged hose or faulty heater core but im not sure because everything else works fine...
2. the radio goes out as volume goes up----ive noticed that on certain volume levels the volume on the monsoon radio would cause it to go out, now the radio would still be lit up but id have to turn it off then back then turn the volume down for it to work now if i didnt turn the volume down wit would play for a couple seconds then cut off again like it was blowing a fuse or something or busting the sound decible level causing it to go into some type of fail safe or something....
3.none of the streering wheel functions work nor does the horn----now i dont typically use the horn so i didnt notice it at first but i was excited that i had steering whell functions and i noticed those off the bat the cruise control light comes on but doesnt set nor will the volume change if you select a different one one the wheel...now they all light up when you turn on the headlights at not but still dont function...also turning the wheel does nothing as well, now with the horn i press it to no result but when i lock the door with my actual key you can hear a little horn toot which confuses me why the horn wont work
now with all this being said everything else work completely fine...everything lights up no fuses are blown windows work sunroof all the locks everything else electrical works fine to my knowledge so any help in how to fix them would be greatly appreciated.....
I wish there was way we could get this to the Edmunds.com editors. They should really include that in their review and they haven't, can't believe it as it was an issue in the 2 CC's I test drove.
just out the blue car will not go in reverse or forward I freak out because I was in the middle of the street with traffic coming towards me I shifted back to drive and reverse several times with no results until I came out of the car and pushed off to the side .....
I took car back to dealer and they said it was something call the MECH TRONIC SENSOR who knows what that thing is but anyway they told me they will replaced at no cost and they make arrangements to get me in a enterprise rental unit,
I was told that it will be ready in about a week, well long history short it took 4 weeks for the part to arrive plus an extra week for labor....
finally I get the car back just for one more week after seven days SAME thing happen again this time in a expressway called roadside assistance they towed car back to dealer they had it for 3 more weeks I got the car back on January 19th with brand spanking NEW TRANS I was told they replace the whole trans with a new one........
car was in perfect condition until last Sunday Feb 11 that it happen again
PLEASE ADVISE
I have taken to the dealer and reported the problem; after a day in the shop they say they "cannot duplicate problem" and no fault codes present. I understand intermittent problems are very difficult to diagnose and seek any similar experience or advice on how to facilitate dealer repairs. :confuse:
2012 Toyota Camry SE 28K miles for $19,000 certified
or
2010 VW CC VR6 4Motion 21K miles for $23,000 certified
My main concerns with VW are powertrain issues, maintenance costs and depreciation. In addition, it's a 2010 and if my loan is 5 yrs it will be 8-9 yrs old when paid off.
What would you do and why?
Thank you for your help,

I had to replace my battery on my 2011 CC Sport. I've owned the car 2.5 yrs and have approx. 36,000 miles. I've never had to replace a battery in such a short period of time but I've also never owned a VW. I usually keep a car 8-10 years. I love the CC's ride, but I don't see myself owning it that long. I will be going back to Honda or Subaru.
I also have experienced a small lag during acceleration but nothing like "watchtrader" or "slkr" have experienced.
2.5 years of life for a battery is not that unusual if you live in hot climates. The batteries in our Acura and Lexus vehicles both only lasted 3 years. It was my experience with Honda cars that I had previously owned, as well. The longest lasting battery (5.5 years) I had was in a Volvo, but in that car the battery resided under the trunk floor, away from the engine heat.
