Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD THE 2003 PASSAT GLX FOR LESS THAN 2 WEEKS, I HAVE ONLY PUT 307 MILES ON IT. TODAY WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR QUIT PULLING. IT WAS NOT GETTING ANY GAS. THEN IT DIED COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT START. IT TURNS OVER BUT WON'T START. WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE FOR NEARLY AN HOUR WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. *TR
