| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I started my car on 1/31 and the epc, check engine and traction control lights came on. the car would drive however had much less power and was very rough. i borught it into the dealership on 2/3 and they stated it was a coil. they refused to replace all 4 coils, only the faulty one, and i was told that only if this power failure occurs again and it is due to another coil...then they would replace all four. i am questioning the reliability of my car, since it appears this problem has been wide spread throghout the us. i feel very unsafe in my year and half old beetle that was bought because of the high reliability rating at the time. |
