| Description of the problem | I got a recall letter from volkswagen regarding suction pump in early november 2016. I immediately asked for an appointment and first dealer in fair lawn, new jersey gave me the appointment 2 weeks later then again rescheduled to 12/10/2016. Unfortunately, today i called again but part is still not available and they don't know when they will have it. I even asked volkswagen to swap my car with another volkswagen but they asked more money and rejected my offer. We still smell gas in the car and we are scared. Now, my and my family's life under risk. Who will be responsible if car got fire and we all die.. Please let me know what to do and how to give this car back without any cost to me? |
