problem #1

Feb 232005

Passat 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles
Complete failure of steering control arms. Wheel shakes like it is going to fall off, this is a common problem with the Volkswagen Passat and VW will not warrant this issue or perform a recall. This is a very dangerous situation.
