All Structurebodybumpers Complaints
WHILE PARKED, PANELS LOCATED UNDER ENGINE AND SIDE PROTECTANT PIECES, BECAME UNATTACHED. DEALERSHIP TRIED TO BLAME ON DRIVER- WHICH ISN'T TRUE, AS THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN IN THREE DAYS - ALL PANELS SHOW FATIGUE, AND SOME ODD-CRACKING DAMAGE. SECOND REPAIR SHOP SHOW DEMONSTRATED WEAK SCREWS, CRACKING ALONG MOUTING POINTS, AND THE BUMPER BECOMING UNATTACHED. INCLUDING DAMAGE TO THE SCREWS THEMSELVES, WITH PREMATURE RUSTING, AND THE SCREW'S HEADS COMPLETLEY FALLING OFF. WHILE BEING TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, ALL PANELS BECAME DETACHED. (3 PC SYSTEM) THIS IS A CERTIFIED-USED VEHICLE - ORG. FROM IL SOLD IN MN. VEHICLE WAS IN DEALERSHIP THAT WEEK FOR OIL CHANGE, DEALERSHIP REPORTED NO PROBLEMS - HOWEVER AFTER THE FACT, THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE. VW WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AS THEY FEEL THAT IT WAS NOT CAUSED BE THE SCEWS MALFUNCTIONING, BUT BY "ADDED AND UNKNOWN STRESS INCREASES.*AK

ON MARCH 19, 2001, I PARKED THE ABOVE MENTIONED JETTA IN A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A RETAIL STORE WHERE THERE WAS A CONCRETE BLOCK TO PREVENT CARS FROM PULLING TOO FAR UP. AS I WAS LEAVING, THE BUMPER WHICH WAS OVERHANGING THE BLOCK WAS PULLED OFF. GOSSETT INITIALLY DIDN'T WANT TO FIX AT N/C SINCE THINGS LIKE THIS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR NORMAL WARRANTY. THEY SAID THE BUMPER WAS DESIGNED SO IF THERE WAS ANY IMPACT FROM COLLIDING IT WOULD COLLAPSE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE VOLKSWAGEN OFFICE AGREED TO FIX IT AT N/C. ON 4/109/01, A MR. BRANNON, A GOSSETT REP. CALLED TO SEE IF I WAS SATISFIED. I TOLD HIM THAT I WASN'T BECAUSE IT HAD COME OFF A 2ND TIME. BUT I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN ABOUT THIS MATTER.ON 4/09/01, THE BUMPER HAD PULLED OFF A 2ND TIME WHEN PARKED IN A NORMAL PARKING...
