| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have had to pay to have the engine on my vw decarbonized at 40,000 miles after a lengthy tow, and now it had to be towed again and needs to be decarbonized again at only 60,000 miles. i was told by a service technician about 1 year ago that vw had issued a notice to dealers to pay for decarbonizing the engines up to 80,000 miles. the service manager denies this notice was ever issued. this type of costly and potentially hazardous problem, ( my wife was stranded on the shoulder of a busy freeway in subzero temperatures) needs to be corrected. *ak |
