Slow your rolls, children. With a deep enough discount (no chance they'd offer one), yes, I'd buy another VW. From a driving standpoint, they're great. I'd have to think my car and the single service shop I've dealt with are not norms.
Anyway, something busted in the steering rack. I don't have details. It took a 4th call from me to get someone to tell me anything. Messages left with them, never responded to. They said "did you get our messages"? Uh, wat? I don't see any or any missed calls. Cell phones suck, but not that much.
I again mentioned I need the car back. They offer a loaner Passat. Enjoy the grease, fuckers.

Stockholm indeed. I wouldn't take it if it was free, unless I could turn around and sell it for cash.
Re: White One! - Mike - 04-11-2013
Ahahah got the loaner. Can they fail with a loaner? Yes. Clearly used by a family before me. Not cleaned. Brownie crumbs, crushed cereal, and stains? (around the shifter) ALL OVER THE PLACE. My car is cleaner at 20k than this is at 1k.

Says the man that bought the only car Honda has made in the past 20 years that Consumer Reports says not to buy.

...because the fact that a sorostitute chain-smoked some Marlboros and the car was due for an oil change is totally Volkswagen's fault. :thumbup:

owning a VW is like owning apple products. The mothership sends out a brain signal which instructs you to forget how much they suck, and that you are commanded to buy a new one.
Re: White One! - Mike - 04-15-2013
Got car back. They replaced the steering rack.
I had a lightbulb go off on my way to pick it up. Upon arrival, I asked them what phone number they had for me. It was not mine or even close to it. So maybe that's why I've never received a call? That explains half of my frustration with them, but they still very much suck.
Re: White One! - xvxax - 04-16-2013
Not to pile on the hate, but a 20,000 mile steering rack replacement doesn't scream quality control issues to you? Isn't this what got VW their reputation in the first place?
Re: White One! - Sully - 04-16-2013
From what I can tell, VW only cares about how loud the thunk is when you close the door. At least that what their commercials stress.
