| 1987 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY | I OWN 2 1987 VW SCIROCCOS, BOTH HAVE HAD SUDDEN AND CATOSTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHICH COMPLETLY DESTROYED THE TRANSMISSIONS, BOTH LOCKED UP ON THE ROAD AND NEARLY CAUSED HORRIFIC ACCIDENTS. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN SEVERAL MODELS WITH THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION AND HAS BEEN IGNORED BY VW AND VWOA. THIS CAR ALSO HAS A LEAKING FUEL TANK WHICH I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE REPAIRED BUT THE DEALERS REFUSE TO EVEN CONFIRM THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH LARGE GROUPS OF VW OWNERS WITH THESE PROBLEMS, AND THE RESULTS FROM DEALER INSPECTIONS OR JUST COMPLETE LACK OF THEM DUE TO THE DEALERS NOT WANTING TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. IT IS TIME TO GO AFTER THESE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SWIFT ACTION THAT WAS TAKEN WITH FIRESTONE AND FORD BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I AM GOING BACK TO THE VW OWNERS GROUP AND HAVE THEM SEND YOU INFORMATION AS WELL. IF THERE IS AN ADDRESS WHERE WE CAN COMPLAIN, PLEASE ADVISE. |
