| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dashboard service light began flashing, car bucked and ran on reduced power only. towed the unit to patrick motors vw in auburn ma. dx was ignition coils and plugs needed. cost me $365.00 to repair. i argued that the payment was on them based on the feb. 2003 vw service campaign which dictated that my model was involved in defective coil installation at the factory. i even called the vw toll-free customer care and was told that my car's vin failed to match the defective group. obviously i cannot understand why it would be excluded from the defective group when the coil components have to be replaced at 62000 miles. i would expect such a repair at 100,000 miles. this unit is a 1.8t 2003 vw passat. *jb |
