NHTSA Complaint #11079744 — 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2017 AND HAD TO BRING IT BACK FEW DAYS LATER BECAUSE THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING. THEY FIXED IT AND COUPLE WEEKS LATER I HAD TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE COUPLINGS BECAUSE THEY WERE LEAKING. NOW IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER 2017 I WAS COMING BACK FROM ORLANDO FL FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAD TO GET MY TITLE FROM THEM, THE CAR BROKE DOWN COMPLETELY ON THE HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A EPC LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE AND HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS STOP BY AND INSPECT THE CAR BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE OF THE TOOLS THEY DIDN'T HAVE. I EVEN CALLED OTHER MECHANIC SHOPS THAT SPECIALIZE IN EUROPEAN CARS. I FINALLY HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP & THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE THAT WAS MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE CAR. I ALSO GAVE THE DEALERSHIP A CALL WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME BUT NEVER DID UNTIL I CALLED BACK WITH MY MOTHER AND THEY SAID IT HAS NO WARRANTY. THEN I CALLED THE WESTLAKE FINANCE COMPANY FOR THE CAR AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO THROUGH THE DMV. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE.
