Description of the problem	I purchased a 2012 volkswagen in august 9, 2012. One week later after purchase, the car stopped in the middle of driving with no warning. I called hertz car sales where i purchased the car and to no avail the problem did not get resolved. I then noticed that the horn works at time and then doesn't work. I really shouldn't have to explain what a safety hazard the car can be if you can't alert another driver with your horn. I then did some research and found out that volkswagen did a recall for the 2011 model but did not include the 2012 model which is obvious that the same problem exist. I called volkswagen and found out that my car was manufactured 2/2012. If the same part was used in my car which is showing the exact same malfunctioned parts that were recalled in 2011. It is more than likely that the earlier 2012 models had the same problem as the 2011 problem. I used this car to get myself and my son back and forth to dr.'s appointments, school and other daily errands. I consider the car to be a hazard with the horn malfunctioning and the car stopping i the middle of driving.
