| Description of the problem | I bought a used volkswagen eos on 08/31/2011. Its a convertible, few days after that it rained and the car was leaking from the joint where the hood attaches to the windscreen. The whole car was flooded with water, i had to drain the water out and take the car to the dealer where i bought the car from on 09/09/2011. They said to bring the car back again 09/13/2011. I called them before going to the dealership and said they will call me, i kept calling and finally on 09/19/2011 i dropped the car at the dealership. When i picked the car back, the manager said they have fixed the car, i had the sales person number i called him from the dealership and he said they were not able to fixed the problem and i have to take it to the manufacturer. I will not even a week that i had started facing problems with the car and at the time i bought the car they said they have the inspection done and everything is fine there is no problems with the car. I would like to know if there was any recalls done on this model and if its manufacturers liability to fix the problems. |
