Consumer Description

FRONT SUSPENSION CREAKS CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING CAR. THIS APPEARS TO BE COMMON COMPLAINT BY OTHER OWNERS, BUT VOLKSWAGEN (VW) UNWILLING TO ADMIT THAT PARTS ARE WEARING TOO SOON. CREAKING STARTED AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES. FROM OTHER POSTINGS IT APPEARS THAT THIS WILL COST ME AT LEAST $1,000 TO REPAIR. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE CAR THE VW FOR REPAIRS, BECAUSE OF HIGH COST. I HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT DANGEROUS.*AK
