Consumer Description

THE CAR HAS A PRONOUNCED GROAN WHEN TURNING AND THE DEALER SAYS ONE OF THE TIE RODS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THIS DEFECT FOR CARS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO MINE-IT WOULD SEEM THAT THEY DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, IT WAS MORE EXTENSIVE THAN THEY ORIGINALLY THOUGHT OR MY CAR WAS CONSTRUCTED USING THE PREVIOUS PARTS. THE LOCAL DEALER REFERRED ME TO VW WHO SAY THEY CAN NOT "PARTICIPATE" OR "ASSIST" WITH THIS REPAIR. *AK
