Consumer Description

IN JANUARY SOMETHING BROKE OFF FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND KILLED THE ENTIRE ENGINE. IT GOT A NEW ENGINE AND A NEW TRANSMISSION. THAT HAS LED TO A SLEW OF OTHER DIFFERENT PROBLEMS FROM MINOR RATTLES TO DANGEROUS EXHAUST LEAKS AND OIL LEAKS. CORPORATE VW WAS ONLY ABLE TO GIVE ME TWO MONTHS CREDIT ON MY LOAN WHICH FROM READING EVERYWHERE IS JUST THEIR WAY OF GETTING US TO SHUT UP. NOW MY REAR BRAKES ARE METAL TO METAL AND I HAVE A BEARING PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT MY SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATES THAT I CAUSED IT BY HITTING A CURB WHICH IN TURN RUINED THE BEARING. I THINK THE BEARING WAS RUINED WHEN THEY PUT IN THE NEW ENGINE AND SCREWED WITH THE TORQUE. *TR
