problem #1

Passat

  • Manual transmission

Had a rear tire blow ut a while back and now my car is experiencing a significant size gas leak( in the rear left passenger side of car), which is the summary and consequence of the VW Passat recall issued Jan 23, 2002. I, however, just received the recall notice 2 weeks ago. I did report my tire blow out with NHTSA because I was concerned I had a defective tire. It appears the remedy for this recall is too late for me, I already have to deal with the consequence of VW's defect. I only hope VW rectifies this problem asap.
