| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am the owner of a 2001 vw passat with 65,000 miles. i have owned approx 6 - 7 cars in my lifetime and have taken care of them the same. never have i experienced this with a dealer who requires all receipts. i was unable to locate 2 receipts and therefore was given the verdict of a $9000 bill to replace the 1.8 turbo engine. i am seriously appalled. my feeling that that the dealers are aware of this problem need to take some responsiblity rather than pour this in the lap of the owner. i would even think that they would consider 50 to 70% of the bill. i had to purchase another car thereby have two car payments because i cannot afford $9000 and needed to get to work and child to school, etc. i will never suggest this car to anyone!! |
