Consumer Description

SIGN CONSISTENTLY APPEARS SAYING "OIL PRESSURE PROBLEM STOP ENGINE NOW" ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TRY TO EXIT THE FREEWAY. ACCORDING TO VOLKSWAGEN DEALER, THIS COULD DAMAGE THE ENGINE BEYOND REPAIR. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT IS HAPPENING TO MANY VOLKSWAGEN BRANDS. THIS IS SOMETHING VOLKSWAGEN KNEW ABOUT AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. VOLKSWAGEN CORPORATION SHOULD RECALL ALL VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT WITHOUT CURRENT OWNERS SUFFERING FOR IT. LET ME ADD THAT I HAVE CHANGED THE SWITCH, FLUSHED ENGINE, CHANGED OIL, CHANGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER, CHANGED OIL PUMP THAT CONNECTS THE OIL PAN WITH THE ENGINE, THE PROBLEM WOULD STOP FOR A WHILE AND COMES BACK AGAIN. *TR
