| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 vw passat that i purchased a 18 months ago. the car was a certified vw and had a warranty extended till 74,000 miles. at 70,000 miles while driving i had the stop low oil pressure light come on- it was time for an oil change so i took it in for an oil change and for the dealer to find the problem. no issue was found. now at 75,500 miles the light comes on again- this time more issues. i pulled over immediately to find that all my oil was leaking out of the car. towed vehicle to closest vw dealer as i was 120 miles away from home. dealer informs me that the camshaft adjusters were leaking oil badly and the cost to fix is $2,600. - car is still in the shop and hopefully no more problems will be found. 1,500 mi outside warranty and vw can do nothing to help lower the expense- even though i had a issue w/ low oil while within my warranty period. *jb |
