| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 volkswagen rabbit. About 4 months after i got it, it started stalling. Only when my car is idling. It also sputters and is not running smoothly. Recently i started hearing a knocking noise under my hood. I've taken it into the dealership over and over and they send me home, saying they cant replicate the problem. The knocking happens on a regular basis, the stalling randomly happens, sometime i can go weeks without my car stalling, other times its only a few days. They've done nothing to fix this problem, just send me on my way. I need answers, and this problem to be fixed. |
