| 2001 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SEEN BY MECHANICS FROM TWO DIFFERENT DEALORSHIPS ON FIVE OCCASIONS DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO DATE. ON THE FOURTH TRIP TO THE SHOP IT WAS EVALUATED BY THE MECHANICS AS HAVING DEFECTIVE GAS TANK THAT HAD A SLOW LEAK. ON THIS OCCASION THE AUTO WAS KEPT FOR 1 WEEK FOR REPAIRS. HERE WE ARE A WEEK LATER AND THE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND IT'S BACK IN THE SHOP AGAIN. MEANWHILE I AM ON PROBATION AT MY NEW JOB AND AM HAVING TO TAKE CONSIDERABLE TIME OFF DUE TO THESE REPAIRS. I AM STILL ON PROBATION AT THIS JOB AND I HAVE ALSO MISSED OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY OF OVERTIME BECAUSE OF CONTINUAL TRIPS TO THE DEALORS SHOPS. I HAVE ONLY MADE THREE PAYMENTS ON THE CAR TO DATE AND I AM PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT IS IN THE SHOP AS MUCH AS IT IS IN THE DRIVEWAY. ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT I HAVE REACHED THE POINT WHERE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR I FEAR IT COULD POSSIBLY BE A DEATHTRAP! I AM NOT SURE ABOUT THE BELT QUESTION THAT ARE WITHIN THIS FORM.*AK |
| 2011 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL | I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AFTER WORK APPROXIMATELY 6-7 PM DOING 45 MPH. I LOOKED DOWN TO MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO CHECK MY SPEED TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T SPEEDING. THEN I SAW THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT BLINKING MULTIPLE TIMES THEN ABOUT LESS THAN 5-10 SECONDS LATER MY ENGINE CUT OUT. I COST OFF INTO A HARPER COLLEGE PARKING LOT CAME TO A STOP. I TRIED TO START THE CAR 2-3 TIMES, EACH TIME THE ENGINE WAS CRACKIN OVER BUT WOULDN'T START IT UP. I CALLED THE TOW TRUCK COMPANY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO VW DEALER IN SCHAUMBURG, IL ( FOX VALLEY VW) DEALER SAID THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED. VWOA COVER THIS UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY 5/60K WARRANTY. THE DEALER REPLACE HPFP,LIFT PUMP, PUMP IN GAS TANK,FUEL LINES TO ENGINE,COILS ETC... REPAIRS CAME TO ROUGHLY $5300.00. VWOA ONLY GIVE 12/12K MILES WARRANTY ON THE HPFP. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON SOME VW WITH CJAA 2.0L TURBO DIESEL ENGINES AND VWOA HAS NOT FOUND THE DEFECT IN THE HPFP.VWOA SHOULD EXTEND THE HPFP TO 100K MILES DUE TO DEFT IN THE HPFP SINCE THEY HAVEN'T FOUND THE PROBLEM AND CORRECTED IT. *TR |
