Consumer Description

APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO, OUR 1999 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT DEVELOPED A DISTINCT CREAK. THE CREAK HAS BECOME VERY PRONOUNCED. OUR DEALER HAS ADVISED US THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR'S CONTROL ARM, AND THAT THE DEFECT IS PREVALENT IN 1999 PASSATS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE DEFECT CAN LEAD TO A LOSS OF STEERING CAPACITY. THIS WILL COST US APPROXIMATELY $1,000 TO FIX. *NLM
