Wolfsburg - The Wolfsburg-based car manufacturer

VW

has come under

heavy criticism

after the

VW Golf 8 was

recalled again

.

In social networks, users mainly accuse the group of deficits in software development and quality control.

The recall is typical for

VW

, wrote a user on

Facebook

.

Even when the

ID.3 was launched,

“almost nothing went on when it was delivered”.   

According to

VW,

there are problems with the infotainment system in the Golf 8.

According to reports, the screens in numerous Golf 8s suddenly failed completely while driving.

In addition, the system sends incomprehensible signals that could distract and endanger the driver on the way.

VW: Massive software problems with the Golf 8

VW

struggled with massive problems with the electronics of the Golf 8 from the start.

Due to faulty on-board software, the group had to postpone the market launch of its most important volume model until the end of 2019.

Last spring, the Wolfsburg-based company even had to stop Golf production altogether for several weeks and call 35,000 vehicles back to the workshop.

The reason was difficulties with the mandatory emergency assistant.

Now the group has started another recall.

A total of 56,000 vehicles were affected this time, it said on Tuesday, 26,000 of them in Germany.

Affected drivers should receive a replacement vehicle and a workshop voucher as compensation.

In addition, the warranty period will be extended by one year, explained

VW

.

The

traffic sign recognition

was "flawed", but let not be switched off, a user complained on the IT website Golem.

In addition to the screen, the central

cockpit display also fails

, reports another.

In addition, many users ask why golf drivers have to go

to the workshop to

update the

software

.

At

Tesla

, new software will be imported via the cellular network, it is said.

The

VW

software is "junk", writes a user on Facebook.

Another puts it even more drastically: "They", it is said with a view to the Wolfsburg car maker, "should crush the Golf right away."

There are similar problems at Daimler: Mercedes issues an urgent warning and calls the flagship back to the workshop shortly after sales start.
