Consumer Description

CAR GET STUCK IN PARK. THIS IS ABOUT THE FIFTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. NORMALLY YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE AND THE SAFE SWITCH WILL RELEASE SO YOU CAN MOVE YOUR CAR FROM PARK. TODAY THIS HAPPENED TWICE, AND I WAS ABOUT AN HOUR LATE TO WORK, BECAUSE I HAD TO WAIT FOR MY CAR TO DECIDE WHEN I COULD DRIVE IT. LAST YEAR I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE THE SPOILER LIGHT DID NOT WORK, THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHT ALTOGETHER DID NOT WORK, SO THEY DECIDED TO CHARGE ME $75. TO FIX THAT. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AGAIN AND $75 IS NOT GOING TO BE PAID THIS TIME. I HAD THAT PART A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.I'VE RESEARCHED IN OTHER VW FORUMS AND MANY ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE CAR WAS ON WARRANTY THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG, BUT NOW EVEN THOUGH MY CAR HAS A LITTLE OVER 35,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT IS A 2001 MODEL IT IS HAVING ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS.*AK
