| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 new beetle. i took ownership in july 2000. my complait is that i had my brake light and abs light come on and diabled my stopping ability of my vehicle. i had my car repaired replacing the electronic contol unit of my abs system. this cost me 1300.00 to repair. after researching online i found that this was a recall for my make and model car under the same manufaturer dates of sept 1999 through january 2001. the nhtsa campaign id number is #02v031000. my vehicles vin number was not included in the sequence of recalled vehicles. i am appauled that my car having the same exact problem with the same manufature date is not covered on the recall. i would like to have this investigated and demand an explanation as to why it is ok for me to risk my family's lives with something that was already identified as a major problem. not to mention a big expense that should be covered by the manufacturer. |
