Consumer Description

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I AM BRINGING THIS TO THE DEALER. WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE DIES AND CANT START IT AGAIN. HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO DEALER IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. DEALER ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG I SAID IT FELT AS IF THE BATTERY DIED AND THE ENGINE JUST DIED. THEY TRIED FIXING IT AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER BEFORE IT DIED AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM. VOLKSWAGEN DEALER HAS IT AND HAD IT OVER A WEEK. MY SERVICE ADVISOR DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND CANT PROMISE ME A DATE WHEN THEY WILL HAVE IT READY. I FEEL UNSAFE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THE CAR JUST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. *TR
