Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My car started making horrible noises in the engine so i stopped driving it and had it towed to the vw dealership. i was told that my turbo would need replacing at a cost of $5600. the dealership wouldn't honor my warranty because i couldn't produce every receipt from my oil changes-i had lived in 3 states since i got the car. however, i complained enough that they told me they would only charge me $3200 to fix the car and would give me a good trade in on another vw. i have decided one vw is enough of a problem and i didn't need another car with the same problems and lack of service from the company. i felt vw left me without any choice other than to pay the money so i could have a car and they definitely didn't stand by there product. is there anything i can do? *jb
