Within one week of ownership, the passenger side rear view mirror cracked and had to be fixed. The dealer installed a blue-tinted mirror in place of the regular mirror.
Later, the back passenger door would not open. The dealer had the door fixed, but when returned to us, the window on the door was broken and would roll down, not up. So we had that fixed by the dealer and now it has a terrible rattle. Dealer got grease all over the felt interior.
The lights that illuminate the air/heat controls that come on when the headlights are turned on no longer work.
The lever for opening the armrest has broken.
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp is now turning on indicating some sort of problem with the emissions. No telling what will happen next.
Dealer has been relatively unfriendly and unhelpful.
Drives well for the most part, but is falling apart.
Definitely not worth the money or time wasted getting it fixed only to have it break again.
Strongly recommend against purchasing a VW.
Sounds like you found a pretty lousy dealer,
More like a pretty lousy car!
Yea. Lousy dealer and pile of junk for a car!
I think you should look for another dealer. Dealers can make all the difference in the handling (or lack theirof) of an issue with your Volkswagen.
Instead of telling us how bad your dealer is, why not give info on how or why things broke. Just because you dealer gives terrible service, doesn't make the car a lemon.
Yes, the dealer issue is very sad regardless of the make. Manufacturers claim that franchise laws and similar legal statutes do not allow them complete control over their dealers, yet THEY are the ones selling the cars - you can't buy direct from the manufacturer.
