Hi, one time the car wheel turned extra and the gas went extra fast. I also had several devices on my car through blue tooth that were not mine and mirror link kept checking and aux. This is conjunction with 3 years of hacking (that i think is technically-assisted abuse) with smart home hub, surveillance, spyware on phone and hacked emails. Tried filling out ic3. Gov form to no avail. Took car twice to volkswagan dealer in springfield, pa and paid $100 twice to clear the dashboard but it kept happening with roav-fr3 and something fm-forman (cant recall names) and keyless car detective. Then i paid to remove the car radio. Then i found a navaro device on passenger side under seat but dealer refused to remove it and when i called volkswagen from there they said only the dealer knows where the vehicle embedded sim is. They do not know how to check software and say 'it is uncharted territory. ' i do not feel safe. There are no laws regarding car hacking and smart home abuse and i am now writing a book for women about it so they are not gas lighted and can get help. This can be a deadly mistake and there needs to be an easy inexpensive place for someone to have their car checked for malware, sim or sd card. Please help. There was a police report but i do not have it. It was on 10/20/24 with colonial chris mcwilliams state police middletown, pa 19063. He said navaro device was factory installed but volkswagan said it was not. Mechanic said it was a satellite radio device
I started to hear clanking noise on left front side (drivers side) while driving. I removed the left front tire. Upon looking inside the wheel housing i observed that spring on the suspension strut was broken and lower part of spring the was no longer inside the lower spring seat. The spring is sliding off the strut and a piece of the metal spring fell off. I have many years of experience working on cars and have owned many vehicles and this is the first time one of my vehicles experienced a spring failure which such low mileage. The vehicle only has a little over 13,000 miles so this spring failure is not from wear and tear from driving. The left front the car and wheel housing of the car is now sagging and this make it unsafe to drive. If i was driving and the piece of the metal spring sprung out it could have caused a safety concern to other motorist. I did contact volkswagen customer support but was told that this spring failure was not part of any recall or warranty extension. Any repairs would have to be done at my own expense.

After parking vehicle in a parking lot, manipulated gear shift from drive to park. Left vehicle and continued business. When returning to parking lot, vehicle was no longer in the parking spot but had rolled backwards into the travel lane of the lot. Started vehicle and attempted to move but could not move gear shift lever to drive or reverse. Was then i noticed that while the gear shift lever was in the park position, the instrument cluster display indicated it was in neutral. Could not adjust gear shift at all. Had vehicle towed to shop and was informed the gear shift cable had broken. Vehicle was repaired however cable alone could not be replaced. Had to purchase complete gear shift lever assembly due to vw replacement parts policy.
