| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On august 25, 2007, i was driving my 2003 volkswagen passat glx with wife and daughter on the middle lane on hwy 101. the car was stalled suddenly and no sign of anything wrong. i felt no power on the pedal. i turned on the emergency light and slowly pulled it over to the right lane. the hwy traffic was passing with life threatening noise. i stopped the car at the right lane and block the traffic. finally a police car passed by and called for help. several police cars came and blocked the whole traffic on hwy101 and one of them pushed my off the next exit. the car was towed to a volkswagen shop and found the fuel pump was gone. i called the volkswagen usa and was told there was a recall for fuel pump but my vin was not in the range. this was a life threading event i would remember it was by volkswagen. i was a royal customer for volkswagen and after this event i could not believe i would be one. *tr |
