After returning to north coast automall of akron. They said that was normal that all hybrids did that.. So yes i was excited haven't had a new car in along time . After willing and dealing with banks they said we need 1500. 00 down and you must buy this extended warranty or all bets off. Not trying to fight with anyone at the time my girl was upset and didn't want to pay another 2500 for this warranty that we told fixed anything on this car.. After finally just saying screw it guess you never know what kind of problems may come. So they promised me a new tire and gave me a platinum extended warranty packet sent us on are way . Also include was the vechiles had light damage to it nothing major..., so after driving the car for a couple days notice serious staking like and jerky bad .. So took it back to deal to get tire put on and vechiles checked went to mall across street to come back to we can't get ur car running it just won't start.. So after leaving in a lender car let me remind you the car i just got 3 days before.. So dave walters vw dealership calls and say need a mechtronic unit.. ..
