Passat

  • miles
After starting vehicle and reversing out of driveway, oil pressure light came on after the engine RPM's reached 18000. 40000 miles service was done 6 mths prior. Dealer claims it resulted from oil overfill. Not the case, oil overfill resulted after the fact. VW America will not honor powertrain warranty, saying maintenance records incomplete.
