Volkswagen Complaints

7,967 complaints across 71 models. 325 crash reports.

Owners have filed 7,967 complaints with NHTSA against 11 Volkswagen models in our index, covering model years 2015 to 2025. 325 of those reports describe a crash.

The problem areas owners report most often across Volkswagen vehicles are engine (2,125), other (1,109) and electrical (1,000). A high count on a widely sold model is not by itself evidence of a defect — complaints scale with how many cars are on the road, and NHTSA publishes them unverified, as filed.

The most-reported single model year here is the 2019 Volkswagen Jetta, with 541 complaints, 19 of them citing a crash. Open any model year below for the individual reports and the components involved.
