problem #1

Jun 012010

Passat Limited 2.0L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 43,000 miles

I had purchased a "lemon" car in 2008, a 2006 passat, which has been at the dealer more than 10 times for broken parts and problems in less than three years. Volkswagen has lawsuits in transmission, brake locks, ingnition coil, sunroof drain, etc etc and they do not want to cover the labor and parts for a car that has cost me more in repairing than paying to the bank. Unfortunaly, I've bought this piece of crap and the service and broken parts every day is unbeliavable. I cannot stand this anymore! the bad service and unhelpfulness of the manufacturer and dealer has got to me. Now that I have more than two years repairing this lemon car, they told me that I am out of the statute of limitation for the Lemon Law. They gave me 6 years for the car to be paid in full. C'mon that is a lot for a piece of crap am driving. I do not want to spend three more years for a car that the antenna is broken, the tinting window don't last because of the sunroof humidity issue, the headliner has fell off, now the thermostat needs to be replaced, and if not, it will overheat the car very soon. I need someone to please tell me what to do to resolve this issue. I had Acuras for more than seven years and I have never had this problem. The manufacturer and the dealer don't even returned my messages and I have to drive all the way to them to complaint about this issue and without any responses.
