| 2004 | EQUIPMENT | I HAVE A 2004 VW JETTA 1.8 TURBO. I JUST CAME OFF FROM HAVING MY CAR CHECKED BY ROYAL VOLKSWAGEN IN WINTER PARK, FL ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THEY DID A MALFUNCTION CHECK. TWO DAYS LATER MY MALFUNCTION LIGHT WENT ON BLINKING. I READ THE MANUAL AND IT SAID THAT I SHOULD DRIVE SLOWLY TO A DEALER. BECAUSE THIS DEALER HAS GIVEN ME PROBLEMS--MEANING AFTER TIME I LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP A FEW DAYS LATER SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENS..I AVOIDED TAKING MY CAR TO THEM. I TOOK IT A LOCAL MECHANICAL..LONG STORY SHORT I HAD TWO IGNITION COILS GO OUT ON ME. IN A TWO DAY PERIOD I LOST A 1/2 TANK OF FUEL. WHEN I DROVE INTO THE MECHANIC DOWN THE ROAD HE SAID MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS A "GRILL" RED AND HE TOLD ME THAT IS CAUSED BY RAW FUEL ENTERING THE CONVERTER. BASICALLY, I WAS TOLD HE WAS LIKE LIGHTING A MATCH NEXT TO A GAS TANK. THE CONVERTER WAS SO HOT BECAUSE TWO OF THE FOUR COILS FAILED THAT IT COULD BEEN LIFE THREATENING AND STARTED A FIRE. THIS IS SERIOUS! I AM WORKING WITH VW OF AMERICA AND HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT OTHER SITUATIONS ABOUT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR |
| 2007 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | I HAVE A 2007 VW JETTA. AT 27,000 MILES I HAD TO HAVE REAR BRAKE PADS REPLACED AND ROTORS TURNED. BRAKES WERE RUBBING METAL TO METAL. I THINK IT IS A PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR PROBLEM. DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS FAULTY PARTS OR WHAT. DEALER SAYS IT IS NORMAL TO HAVE REAR PADS WEAR OUT WITH THAT LITTLE OF MILEAGE. I AM 55YRS. OLD AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT WITH ANY CAR. I HOPE IT DOES NOT CAUSE ANYONE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. *TR |
