Consumer Description

I HAD MY CAR DIAGNOSED AT THE VW DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE ARE EMISSION PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE RECALL I RECENTLY FOUND ON MY CAR, WHEN I CALLED THE NUMBER ON THE RECALL, VW CUSTOMER SERVICE INSISTED I WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER HADN'T BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS CAR REGULARLY SMOKES, LETS OFF HUGE SMOG CLOUDS WHEN I PUT GAS AND IS A FIRE RISK ACCORDING TO THEIR RECALL. I DON'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE I'M AFRAID IT IS GOING TO EXPLODE INTO FLAMES. *TR
