Consumer Description

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR VW GOLF FOR IGNITION COIL. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THAT LAST YEAR AND I TOOK IT TO A DEALER BUT INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE COILS THEY REPLACED MY BATTERY AND STARTER... EXACTLY A YEAR AFTER THAT THE SAME THING HAPPEN (THIS JANUARY). I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED AND TOOK IT TO A GARAGE CAUSE IT WAS CLOSE TO MY HOUSE. MY IGNITION COILS HAD TO BE REPLACED. SO I WAS WONDERING IF THERE IS A WAY I CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR WHAT I PAID, AT LEAST FOR THE PARTS. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE COILS AT THE DEALERSHIP CAUSE EXACTLY THE SAME THING HAPPENED, EXACTLY YEAR AFTER. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO? THANK YOU JANA. *JB
