Passat 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,000 miles
Vehicle subframe bolt failure. Los angeles area dealer network has attempted to resolve failure but has been unsuccessful. Vehicle has been inspected by multiple dealerships for the same safety issue and has had subframe bolts retorqued subframe with complete disregard to vehicle safety. Subframe bolts are stretchable component to the subframe assembly and should be replaced rather than retorqued when removed or lose.
