problem #1

Jan 182003

Eurovan 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 900 miles
On 01/09/03 I purchased a 2003 VW Eurovan & on 01/18/09 my engine light came on. On 01/20/03 I was told I had faulty coils. I was told that the two coils that failed were going to be replaced, but with that came a warning that I have a total of 6 coils. When I picked up my partialy fixed van I was told " hopefully we can replace all your coils before this happens to you again." When I contacted VW directly they informed me that this was a large problem they were having company wide & at this time they were only replacing the failed faulity coils. At the dealership when I asked if this could cause engine damage I was told "it could".I was sold a new car without the knowladge of serious faulty problems that VW clearly knew about. I would like my new car to not have any known defects. All 6 coils should be replace, for the safty of my children, my husband, & myself.
