| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I financed a 03 passat gls 1.8t in jan of 05 a year later it stopped running. when i took it to the dealer it was oil sludge. the engine has a warranty for sludge for unlimited mileage for 8yrs. the car needed a new engine due to the sludge. vw refused to replace the engine stating that i did not have enough proof of maintenance done to the vehicle. which statement is false. the vehicle had all maintenance done in the time that corresponded, i had proof of them which i submitted. therefore i have spent 4 months making payments towards a vehicle that can not be used. now i had no choice but to replace the engine myself since vw refused to solve the situation. *tr |
