Hello all, new here, new owner of TDi 2014 SportWagen
4 days into owning the certified car and it wouldn't start (stuck at work) had to call road-side assistance to tow it.
First it said key was too far away. Then when I put the key on the button and pushed, all sorts of lights came on and lot of beeping, and error messages, errors, brakes, air bag, service now ... and I couldn't even close the moonroof.
Did I buy a lemon? Is this something that's a part replacement, or is this indicate a system wide failure that no amount of visits to shop will fix? Any thoughts. Or could it be something as simple and stupid as a dead battery?
The 2012 Golf I traded in (217,000 miles) always started and ran like a champ. I just didn't want to risk any issues because the next two years I need a reliable car that's not going to cost outside of budget.
Just so I'm prepared for whatever the dealer is going to tell me, I'd appreciate input from this group, if any comes.
Thanks!
