| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased a 2000 vw new beetle on october 10, 2007. my significant other drove the car to work. when she got ready to leave the car would not start. she called a mechanic and they checked the vehicle. they determined that the timing belt had broken. the car has less than 90,000 miles on it. i went a researched and found other similar complaints about low mileage beetles of this year having the same problem. i am concerned that such an expensive repair is required at such low mileage in order to own this vehicle and have it operate properly. i am not the original owner so i realize that this repair is not covered for me. there should be some form of disclaimer placed on this year of beetle so that perspective owners will know that they have an expensive repair coming up (timing belt) if it hasn't been corrected already. *tr |
