Consumer Description

THE 2002 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT HAS GIVEN A LOT OF PEOPLE PROBLEMS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE TO THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE "STOP MOTOR OIL PRESSURE". THEIR EXACT WORDS TO ME WERE" THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, BUT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. IT IS A FILTER IN THE ENGINE THAT KEEPS GETTING CLOGGED, AND THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THEY CAN DO." I TOLD THEM THAT I NEEDED MY CAR AND THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING, THAT CARS ARE CATCHING ON FIRE. THEY SAID THAT I COULD GET AN ENGINE FLUSH EVERY COUPLE MONTHS. NOTHING CAN BE DONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BY ME. THE VOLKSWAGEN CORP. NEEDS TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY MESSED UP TO BEGIN WITH. THANK YOU *TR
