| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 1998 volkswagen passat and i'm the original owner. i have done all [even more than] the recommended maintenance on the passat. i had the control arms replaced once already 2 years ago [not under recall or reimbursed for this procedure]. i am once again getting considerable craking noises from my control arms in my front suspension. i do not drive my passat abnormally nor had any accidents with it. i feel that this happening to my passat is not a normal wear and tear issue, but something else - bad design or materials? *la |
