| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving my 98 bug when the entire seat fell off the track, and i fell in the backseat, the car stalled while on a 45 mph road i was not injured.keffer volk recured the seat but say i will cost $1000 for a new floor track. volks says this isn't a warranty issue. it would be nice to have a seat to drive the car. my concern is how many other cars/volks have done this and i cannot believe their lack of concern. had i been injured or worse killed there would be a huge lawsuit at this time. i do not weigh 300 pounds nor am i abusing to my vehicles. i do believe a motor car industry should be able to build a car that keeps the seat in place. i rarely have even moved the seat back and forth on the track. i am the second owner and the car has never been involved in a wreck. we are getting rid of the car very soon. i have lost my confidence in volks. this was my second car with them. thank you. previous firefighter and er nurse and safety previontion officer with the fire depart. *ak |
