| Description of the problem | I previously filed a complaint on nhtsa (id 11310178). Since then the vehicle has not started twice and left me stranded having to tow to vw dealership an additional two times. After the vehicle broke down in march, i opened a claim with vw corporation of america, inc. The claim was denied with a generic response and vw blatantly ignored my concerns of saftey while operating this vehicle. April 24th the vehicle failed to start again and is currently being looked at, at the vw dealership. I contacted the vw corporation of america, inc. Case manager again and agreed to open a claim of retribution on the vehicle after they confirm the failure to start for this instance. This vehicle display several concerns with safety for the owner and cannot be used as reliable transportation but vw continues to turn a blind eye to the potential danger of the situation that can arise from this. |
