Consumer Description

WHEN I PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE WITH A CONCRETE TIRE BUMPER, THE BUMPER GOT CAUGHT WHEN I PULLED OUT AND CAUSED THE PARKING LIGHT GRILL COVERS TO POP OUT. THE SERV. DEPT. REPLACXED THEM, NO CHARGE. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED THEY ACCUSED ME OF "RUNNING OVER THE TOP" OF SOMETHING, AND DAMAGING THE CAR, WHICH I DID NOT DO. THE MANUFACTURERS REFUSE TO FIX IT SAYING IT IS AN INSURANCE ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH THE SER. DEPT. TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT WITH OTHER CARS, AND EVEN THE MANAGER OF THE SERV. DEPT. SAID IT HAPPENED TO HER JETTA! I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD FIX IT WITHOUT CHARGE, SINCE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN DEFECT. *AK
