problem #1

Jun 252001

Jetta Trek 2.0L V4

  • Manual transmission
  • 38,000 miles

We received a notice from Volkswagen warning us that if the passenger-rear tire ran low that it could rub on the neck of the gas tank and cause it to explode (think ford pinto without having to be rear-ended).

There was no recall issued just a warning letter.

No known fix either.

Yay for Volkswagen!
