| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When starting car 75% of the time abs and (hand) brake light would switch on though brake not engaged; at the same time headlights and a/c didn't work. was told it is an ignition switch problem. also, window automatic close malfunctioning which dealer service says is unrelated. necessitated about $1,800 parts and labor. also, unfortunately at the mercy generally of vw dealer service since many mechanics do not stock the computer necessary to diagnose electrical problems. i have experienced service problems with two vw dealers in my area (northern virgnia). one dealer (alexandria vw) failed to tighten wheel nuts after a routine check-up and claimed after looking at the car that nothing was amiss. another (stohlman in vienna, va.) replaced the ignitiion switch but broke a part while doing so, so that the key could not be removed from the ignition. *ak |
