NHTSA Complaint #10586348 — 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

ONCE AGAIN I HAD TO WASTE MORE SCHOOL TIME AND GAS MONEY, AFTER MY LAST 20K VISIT ON MY CAR THE NOISE WAS DRIVING ME MORE AND MORE INSANE, I TRIED IGNORING THE ISSUE AND TURNING THE MUSIC UP, BUT THE NOISE HAD STARTED TO PROGRESSIVELY GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I COULD HERE IT EVEN WITH MUSIC ON, THAN ON TOP OF THAT I STARTED TO HEAR NEW AND UNUSUAL NOISE THAT HAD NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE, I STARTED TO HEAR SPORADIC HIGH PITCH NOISES FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE WHEN I WAS AT HIGH RPM'S OR WHENEVER HITTING ON THE GAS, IT WOULD START OFF LOW PITCH THAN HIGH PITCH, THAN WOULD RATTLE, THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. I HAD SHOWN THE SAME TECHNICIAN A VIDEO RECORDING OF IT, AND HE WAS BAFFLED HE ALSO EVEN HEARD THE NOISE HIMSELF. I ALSO NOTIFIED THEM THAT WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS IT WOULD SOUND LIKE A DOOR WAS OPEN, EVEN MY GUEST I HAVE HAD IN IT COMPLAINED TO ME THAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE DOORS ARE OPEN. THE SERVICE REP TRIED TREATING ME LIKE A FOOL AND ROLLED MY BACK WINDOW DOWN A LITTLE THAN BROUGHT ME OUTSIDE AND SAID THIS IS WHY YOU ARE HEARING THE WIND NOISE, AND I HAD TOLD HER I WAS WATCHING YOU THE ENTIRE TIME YOU HAD ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN, AND THAN SHE TRIED TO TELL ME SHE DIDN'T EVEN THOUGH I WATCHED HER DO IT, THIS PLACE TREATED ME LIKE I WAS CRAZY, AND DISRESPECTED ME IN-FRONT ME , AND I ALSO NOTED THAT SOME RUBBER SEALS WERE COMING OFF THE DOOR EDGES, WHICH SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING, MAKING ME FEEL LIKE THIS CAR WASN'T WELL PUT TOGETHER AND COULD RUN INTO POSSIBLE FUTURE ISSUES. ONCE AGAIN VW TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR YOU ARE JUST HEARING STUFF, AND KICKED ME OUT THE DOOR WITH NO EXPLANATION AT ALL. *TR
