| 2008 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TRUNK LID:LOCK | I USED MY TRUNK FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW CAR. AFTER I SHUT IT, THERE WAS A GAP BETWEEN THE TRUNK LID AND THE BOTTOM, AS IF IT WAS STILL OPEN. I PUT MY HAND UNDERNEATH THE TRUNK LID IN ORDER TO LIFT AND TRY AGAIN. BEFORE I COULD LIFT, THE TRUNK HYDRAULIC-LY CLOSED DOWN TIGHTLY ON MY FINGERS. MY HAND WAS CLAMPED, IMMOVABLE. LUCKILY IN MY OTHER HAND I HAD THE KEYS, AND WAS ABLE TO UNLOCK THE TRUNK, BECAUSE THE PAIN WAS EXCRUCIATING. I BELIEVE THIS MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MECHANICS OF THE HARD TOP CONVERTIBLE WHICH LOWERS INTO THE TRUNK. WHILE THIS MAY BE A GOOD WAY TO TRAP A BURGLAR WHO THINKS THE TRUNK IS OPEN, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND ESPECIALLY IF A SMALL CHILD HAPPENED TO PUT THEIR FINGERS NEAR IT. THIS CAUSED DEEP INDENTATION MARKS ON THE TOPS AND BOTTOMS OF MY FINGERS, WRIST THROBBING AND NUMBNESS/PRICKLING IN MY FINGERS. *TR |
| 2008 | STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS | I PURCHASED A 2008 VOLKSWAGEN EOS ON 10/1/2007. ABOUT 1 MONTH LATER I BEGAN HEARING RATTLING IN THE CONVERTIBLE TOP WHEN IT WAS UP. TODAY IS 3/16/2008 AND MY VEHICLES HAS ONLY 2900 MILES. I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE IT DUE TO THE RATTLING NOISE. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO VW REPAIR SHOP 8 TIMES EACH TIME THEY THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED BUT WHEN I TOOK IT THE RATTLING ALWAYS CAME BACK WITHIN A DAY OR 2. I FINALLY HAD IT. THEY AGREED. THEY VOLUNTARILY GAVE ME A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL TO START ARBITRATION AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD EITHER BUY BACK MY VEHICLE OR GIVE ME A NEW EOS. *TR |
