Description of the problem	This is a complaint regarding the way that volkswagen is handling the safety recall 20z4 (fuel pump flange). My car smelled like gasoline and i had received the safety recall letter in the mail, so took my car into volkswagen immediately as directed. They told me that they do not yet have the replacement part, but that they could "patch" the problem by replacing the flange with a new flange. However, i would have to pay for the flange replacement ($590), and then once the recall is "validated" and the replacement part comes in, they would repair the car and then i could send in my receipt for vw to re-reimburse me. They said that if i did not pay for the temporary repair that i would be driving my car at my own risk. I do not have an extra $590 lying around to pay for this repair, even if at some point in the future i might be reimbursed.
