Consumer Description

CAR PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT NEARLY CAUSING A ACCIDENT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS..THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. SEPT. 20, 2010 TOOK THE 2000 NEW VW BEETLE INTO THE VW DEALERSHIP TO HAVE VEHICLE CHECK OUT AND REPAIRED. THIS IS THE LIST OF THINGS THEY FOUND WRONG! 1. REAR AXLE BUSHINGS ON BOTH SIDE WAS BROKEN WITH ONE BUSHING WAS INSIDE OF FRAME WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO SWERVE. 2. FRONTEND ALIGNMENT NEEDS TO BE DONE. 3. REAR EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACE BECAUSE IT CAUSES ONE REAR WHEEL TO DRAG. WE NEVER USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SINCE THE VW IS A AUTOMATIC. PARTS HAD TO BE ORDERED AND A LATER DATE FOR REPAIRS. *TR
