Consumer Description

THERE IS A DEFECT AND DISTORTION IN MY WINDSHIELD IN MY LINE OF VISION. I BELIEVE ( AFTER INSPECTING SIMILAR PASSATS ) THAT THIS DEFECT AND DISTORTION IS PRESENT ON A NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT VW PRODUCED. AT THIS TIME, THE MANUFACTURER IS UNWILLING TO AUTHORIZE A REPLACEMENT. I AM SENDING IN THIS COMPLAINT TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE MADE A SIMILAR COMPLAINT. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM CAN BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD THAT VW IS NOT WILLING TO SOLVE.*AK
