Consumer Description

I HAVE LEASED A 2005 VW PASSAT. I CHANGED MY OIL ON A REGULAR BASIS, MY MECHANIC DID NOT WRITE THE IN MILEAGE OR OUT MILEAGE WHEN HE GAVE ME MY RECEIPT. MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND VW STATES THAT I NEED A NEW MOTOR DUE TO SLUDGE IN THE MOTOR. THE ARE TELLING ME MY RECEIPTS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH AND WON'T COVER THE MOTOR. I HAVE SEARCHED THE WEB AND SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE PALISADES, NY VW ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO BUSINESS WITH. I'M NOT GETTING A NEW MOTOR! *TR
