| Description of the problem | On the said date, i was driving my car when i heard a loud noise coming from the ignition area and the car suddenly and unexpectedly stalled, i was able to restart the car right away. A month later, i heard the same noise and the car stalled again, while i was in the middle of a very busy intersection. In august of 2014, i had received a recall from vw informing me of a recall ( nhtsa 14v-396), i took my car to the dealer who has not been able to fix the issue, in november, parts are still not available for the repairs to be performed. I spoke to the regional case manager at vw who won't do anything either. Vw is letting me drive an unreliable and unsafe vehicle. |
