Wheels · reported Sep 15, 2026

I am reporting a severe vehicle safety hazard introduced by Boston Volkswagen and ignored by Volkswagen Group of America. The dealership delivered a 2023 Volkswagen Arteon with an incorrect, non-factory wheel offset and tire configuration that dramatically alters the engineered suspension geometry, creating a high risk of tire contact against suspension struts and brake lines. Due to widespread public records of consumer deceit at this location, I have not contacted Boston Volkswagen directly. I escalated this vehicle safety concern directly to the manufacturer, Volkswagen Group of America…

Wheels · reported Apr 12, 2026

Sudden loss of tire pressure on interstate highway in heavy traffic at 70 miles per hour. This created a safety hazard to control the car and try to move to the shoulder of the road without a collision. The tires are factory 245/35/R20 Continental ProContact with 8/32 tread remaining. Tires have 13,600 miles and the air pressure was at factory specs of 42 pounds cold. There is no visible damage to the tire or rim. The tire will no longer seal to the rim causing loss of air. All service has been performed at the VW dealer. This is the second tire failure; the first at 400 miles.

Tires · reported Mar 19, 2025

Tire is 245/35 R 20. Tire sidewall blew out on a small bump/pothole at less than 15mph, losing all pressure and forcing to be towed. These are OEM tires with less than 2500 miles on them. Model is on backorder, so all new tires for vehicle had to be replaced. These tires are a known issue for the VW Arteon and customers are forced to pay for replacements at significant cost to "upgrade" to safer more well-built tires.

Tires · reported May 10, 2024

I hit a small pot hole on [XXX] to [XXX] at 35 MPH an hour an it blew the side belt on the tire. This is the 2nd tire failure this week on the same tire. 245/35 R20 95H just replaced two days ago. Tire had 40 miles on it. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
