problem #4

Jetta Diesel

  • miles
Dealers openly acknowlege problems with their map sensors on gas and diesel engines, but Volkswagen of America internally refuses to recall this item. The same complaints are made about the very common relay 109 fuse failures, which volkswagenw is likewise putting off. Please force them to recall these two items that have cost me plenty of out of pocket money, even though my car is under warranty. This is a rip-off of all consumers by VW of America and they need to be held accountable for their ignorance of these obvious problems!
