Reported on Apr 13, 2013
| I PURCHASED MY CAR 1 YEAR AGO HAS APPROXIMATELY 27K ON IT NOW BOUGHT IT WITH 1000 MILES ON IT AFTER A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I STARTED IN SOME WOBBLING RUMBLING NOISES COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT OF MY CAR I TOOK UP A DRIVE WITH THE TECHNICIAN THE TECHNICIAN HEARD THE SOUND THEY HAD MY CAR FOR FOUR DAYS DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A LOANER AND I MISSED SCHOOL BECAUSE SO. AFTER 4 DAYS THEY CAME UP WITH NO CONCLUSION HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT GETS WORSE I BROUGHT MY CAR BACK SEVERAL TIMES AND AFTER EVERYTHING LOOK FOR THE FIFTH TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TIRES ARE FEATHERING I WAS WONDERING WHY THEY TELL ME THAT NOW I'M NOT AFTER THE FIRST TWO TIMES. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE TIRE DEALERSHIP AND SEVERAL OTHER SECOND PARTY DEALERSHIPS WHEN THEY TOLD ME MY TIRES ARE FINE ALONG WITH ONE OF THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIPS. I AM NOW HAVING PERFORMANCE ISSUES WITH MY EXCELERATOR HESITATED IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S GURGLING AND SEEMING TO HAVE TROUBLES ACCELERATING NOW. MY MILES PER GALLON HAS DROPPED FROM 42 TO 38. I AM HERE IN A WHOOOING NOISE WHEN I'M RETURNING THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY RIGHT AND REVERSING AND IT'S COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE LEFT FRONT SIDE WHERE THE ORIGINAL NOISE WAS, VW TOLD ME IT'S NORMAL. I'M ALSO HEARING THE SAME ISSUES MUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE'S WITH THIS CAR WITH ACCELERATING I'M HEARING WEIRD CRANKING NOISE THROUGH THE AC VENT WHICH IS A NORMAL AT HIGH RPM'S. JUST RECENTLY I HAD A PUT MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FOUR WITH MY BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. I'M ALSO HEARING THE SAME ISSUES LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE WITH MY WINDOWS IT'S REALLY NOT LOUD AND NOISY AFTER ABOUT 50 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP IS YET TO COME UP WITH CLEAR ANSWER TO MY ISSUES THEY JUST TOLD ME TO BUY TIRES AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN SURE IF THE NEW TIRES WOULD FIX THE ISSUE OR NOT. THEY ALSO TELL ME I WON'T BE COVERED IN THE FUTURE IF SOMETHING HAPPENS. VW NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATE. | |
