| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Oil sludge build up. stop engine light came on. immediately took car to dealership and learned that it was an oil pressure issue to sludge. volkswagen had issued an extended warranty. however, they requireed complete records which most people did not keep. there were numerous complaints with regard to this issue. wondering why a recall has not been imposed given the expense to consumer's for something that was obviously a manufacturer's defect. consumer protection should be first priority.*ak |
