ENGINE
2006 VR6 PASSAT. MAINTAINED AT LOCAL GARAGE WITH OIL AND FILTER CHANGES (SYNTHETIC OIL) EVERY 5,000 MILES. LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND TOOK TO A VW DEALER. TIMING CHAIN RUBBED ON COVER DUE TO LOOSE GEAR AND CAUSED PLASTIC PARTS TO FALL INTO OIL PAN. SUCKED UP BY OIL PUMP CAUSING FAILURE. ENGINE DID NOT FAIL, BUT THE REPAIR IS MORE THAN 3X THE VALUE OF THE CAR. *TR

THE DEALER SOLD ME THIS CAR SAYING THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. I SIGNED A WAIVER BUT FEEL THAT I WASN'T FULLY INFORMED OF THE DANGER, AND WOULD LIKE TO DEALER TO TAKE THE CAR BACK OR GIVE ME FULL VALUE FOR AN EXCHANGE.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM A VERY CONCERNED HUSBAND OF A WIFE WHO DRIVES A CAR AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL. VOLKSWAGEN AG IS TAKING AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FIXING THE RECALL OF AN ITEM THAT CLEARLY IS A LIFE/DEATH RISK. I AM DISGUSTED BY VOLKSWAGEN'S LACK OF URGENCY WITH THE ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE AS THE LITTLE CONSUMER WHO SPENT HARD-EARNED MONEY TO BUY FROM A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION.
