The Itty Bitty NOVA VW Committee

[Jake]

At the end of the day, these little issues like the lights don't bother me. 

You can't say this after being so wound up that you contacted VW customer care. You can't say it to the dealership service department, you can't say it to "KT" from Volkswagen, and you can't say it to anyone else that is now going to try and make you happier by fixing the things you complained about that they allegedly cannot reproduce.

I would be heroically pissed off if all of this was happening in my brand-new car and not being taken care of. I get it, sometimes things are not quite right the first time, but this sort of runaround is unacceptable for any manufacturer/dealer. So, make them fix your entire list and get you in a loaner until it's all done. If you want some VW swag, mention that after you get them to agree to your initial complaint, which is that your $30k GTI is not being repaired to your satisfaction.

If you wanted to pretend to not be bothered by flickering lights and a blown out door speaker, you could have kept that 325e, and we saw which of the two cars you sold while they were sitting in the same driveway. So go get your new hotness repaired.
