Hood latch failure investigation # PE98037
Odi has received three reports, including the petitioners, regarding alleged hood latch failures.All of the odi reports indicate the hood flew up while driving.Following a telephone inquiry, volkswagen provided odi with some limited information regarding six additional reports of hood fly-up for model years 1995 and 1996.This investigation was opened to further study this issue.Defect description:"it is possible that on some of the affected vehicles the bolts securing the front hood latch may lose their specified fastening torque over time.Should this happen, the latch could move out of its design position and cause disengagement of the hood striker from the latch.In some vehicles the latch may not have been properly aligned during production.Repeated opening and closing of the hood with an improperly aligned latch could result in damage to the latch.Either condition could result in unexpected opening of the hood and could obstruct a portion of the drivers view of the road while driving, and result in an accident."remedy: "volkswagen of america, inc. Will initiate a voluntary safety recall instructing its authorized dealers to check the hood latch and securing bolts and replace them if necessary."

Steam cominig from dashboard. Eventually, the heater core exploded causing burns to my wifes leg. Talked to volkswagen of america, and several friends who own the same vw. This is a common problem and should be looked into! The heater cores were already recalled on mk2 golfs, and corrados! When the heater core fails the car fills with steam and you have no driving visibility! Still trying to talk to vw of america, its typically covered, however, a recall has not been issued yet.
