FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MECHANIC FOUND A CODE FOR A DEFECTIVE ADBLUE LEVEL SENSOR AFTER I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO CHECK THE REASON FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATION. THEY REMOVED THE ADBLUE TANK AND INSTALLED AN UPDATE KIT. YES, UPDATE KIT, WHICH TELLS ME VOLKSWAGEN KNOWS THERE IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL LEVEL SENSOR EQUIPMENT. FINAL COST OF THE REPAIR: $1053.51. THIS SHOULD BE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ITEM, OR RECALL.

ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A 200 MI. COUNTDOWN BEGAN INDICATING THE CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WE WERE OVER 500 MILES FROM HOME ON THE WEEKEND. WE HAD TO DRIVE THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR HOME 10 HOURS TO NEAREST DEALER WITH THE THREAT OF STALLING IN TRAFFIC ON INTERSTATE. WE COULD NOT TURN THE CAR OFF, NOR STALL IT AS THE CAR INDICATED IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. IT WAS THE NOX SENSOR. I PAID $625 PLUS TAX TO FIX PART OF THE FRAUDULENT EMISSIONS SYSTEM.

TAMARA RECALL: I HAVE CALLED VOLKSWAGON AND A LOCAL DEALER ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY DAUGHTER OR ANYONE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ASKED IF THERE IS ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION BEING OFFERED AND BOTH THE DEALER AND VOLKSWAGON HAVE INDICATED THEY ARE NOT OFFERING ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. THEY HAVE ALSO INDICATED THAT A SOLUTION FOR THE AIRBAG AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. VOLKSWAGON SHOULD OFFER ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL THIS CAN BE REPAIRED AND THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE!!!!!
