Consumer Description
I've had 3 manufacturing defects on my 2021 VW Jetta, with 18,000 miles currently, the first issue was my sunglasses compartment on the ceiling of the car, the plastic latches broke by itself, The second issue my car had, multiple sensor lights went off simultaneously, shortly after my breaks started braking by themselves randomly, The dealership were I purchased the car, Payne Mission Mitsubishi Volkswagen, 2003 E Expressway 83, Mission, TX 78572 told me to leave the car at the dealership and maybe they could fix it in a month, I told them it was my primary car that I couldn't do that, they said well to be in line the car had to be physically present at the dealership, I thought about suing for breach of contract for refusing to fix it and giving me the run around, The 3rd Manufacturing defect that I had with the car, The front panel glass part number #17A8770559B9, shattered spontaneously on a rural highway with no one around me, it sounded like a gunshot when it exploded, The dealership and VW have refused to acknowledge that it is a manufacturing issue, I'm currently waiting to see if they will cover it with factory warranty, but I've been getting the run around. I'm aware that VW already had this issue brought to their attention several years back when they were sued, they have not resolved the issue. I'm asking for an immediate recall of their front panel glass and sunroof glass that was cheaply made and manufactured in Mexico. they are charging us 895$ MSRP for glass that's defected, part number #17A8770559B9. I was told by a VW Customer Service representative that a VW engineer would have to examine the glass. If your organization is unable to assist me my next course of action will be to fight this in court till the end, this is an injustice to the customers, an organization as big as Volkswagen should acknowledge the issue and address it in a courteous manner, their should be more laws/rules in ethics when it comes to car sales and mechanic shops.
