Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: On 4/21 i took my 2001 cabrio in to be serviced at esserman in miami. they ordered the wiper fluid container because it was cracked and they couldn't repair it. i phoned every couple of weeks and they stated that they could not obtain a date from the nat'l parts center on when it would arrive and finally suggested that i phoned vw advocate. i phoned vw advocate 800-822-8987 on 6/1 and they were going to check to see when the part could ship to the dealer and phone me back. no calls received. on 6/7 i phoned again and the part is still on order with no projected date. i've had this car in several times for issues during the 3 years of my lease and now they can't tell me when they can have the container in so i can clean my windshield? i would at least expect a date to be given. i am in the mfg. business and when an order is placed you give a delivery date -even if it has to be produced. i don't know where else to turn to get an answer and would appreciate any help. my lease expires next april and i would like to replace the part prior to then and i'm tired of going to gas stations to clean my windshield. *ak
