Consumer Description

MY CAR WINDOW FAILED ONLY 3 DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERS AND A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE VOLKSWAGEN CORPORATE OFFICES THAT THE REASON THEY CAN'T GET IT FIXED IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IS IT IS ON BACK ORDER FROM THE FACTORY BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE OR PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW CLIPS BREAK IN OVER 50% OF NEW VOLKSWAGEN GTIS AND GOLFS WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR.*AKY
