Consumer Description

I OWNED A 2000 VW PASSAT. MY CAR FAILED SEVERAL TIMES UPON ACCELERATION DURING PASSING OR ACCELERATING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY. I HAD IT INTO THE SHOP AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES. THE VW REP INSINUATED THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING TO THE VEHICLE. THEY FINALLY ALLOWED ME TO TRADE FOR A 2003. THERE IS NOW A RECALL ON THE IGNITION COIL STARTING WITH 2001. I THINK YOU HAD BETTER INCLUDE 2000 ON THAT RECALL. *NLM
