NHTSA Complaint #11081976 — 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT

FIRST OFF, THE BREAD STARTED GIVING ME TROUBLE A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT VW OF THE WOODLANDS EXCLAIMED THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE AND THAT THE BRAKE PADS HAD A FEW ROCKS IN BETWEEN THEM. AS THE WEEKS PASSED THE ISSUE GRADUALLY GOT WORST AND I COULD FEEL THE BRAKES GRIND WHEN I PROCEEDED TO COME TO A STOP. NOW THE BRAKES ARE COMPLETELY JACKED UP AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THEM REPAIRED. MY SECOND PROBLEM IS THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT I'VE ENCOUNTERED. THIS DATES BACK TO AT LEAST 3 WEEKS AFTER BUYING THE CAR. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THEM AND HAVE EVEN TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, BUT YET AGAIN I WAS GIVEN AN EXCUSE. "YOUR ALTERNATOR NEEDS TO BE CHANGED!" I WAS TOLD. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE ALTERNATOR WAS PREPARING TO GO OUT AFTER ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR 5 MONTHS. BUT THAT WAS NOT THE FIXTURE OF MY PROBLEM. THE DASH BOARD LIKES COME ON AND GOES OFF REPEATEDLY IVER TIME AND I HAVE BEEN TAKING A PICTURE EACH TIME IT HAPPENS FOR MY DOCUMENTATION. IT'S VERY UNPROFESSIONAL WHAT GOES ON WITH THESE CAR DEALERSHIPS AND HOW THEY GET OVER ON PEOPLE. THIS 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT IS A BUST AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.
