Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am complaining about a 2002 volkswagen passat 1.8t. with 76,000 miles on the car based on the latest news from the dealer today i will have invested over $1000 on various failures of the fuel evap system. first it was vacuum hoses and now it is the charcoal canister and purge valve. there has been one recall on one part of the system which of course was not what was wrong at any point with my vehicle. the entire fuel evap system is faulty and vw knows it and refuses to do anything about. it is a great moneymaker for them as only they have the access to the electronic codes and parts to repair the system and tremendously over inflated prices. *jb
