Consumer Description

I HAD MY THERMOSTAT HOUSING REPLACED TO DUE LEAKAGE. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE THAT CAN LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED GRADUALLY OVER TIME AND NOT DUE TO ANY INCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS WAS DISCOVERED FROM A VW SERVICE WHEN I WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 57000 MILES.
