I can't believe that some people are even considering buying another VW or even getting the fix and keeping it!!!! WOW, wake up people. Do you not see what VW has done to you? Do you not understand that you have to go and waste your time again looking for a new vehicle? What about the thousands of dollars that you just lost in the depreciation or the 13% tax that you had to pay? Do you not realize that you now have to pay it again?
Aside from the fact they they committed fraud to sell us a car, mine is a LEMON and now I'm stuck with it.
I was born in Germany and always wanted a VW Passat Diesel. I did all my homework and felt that I was making the best decision. The problems started at the dealership at the time of delivery and never stopped to this day. Today is the fourth time my car has been in for service this year alone. The first 3 times cost me over $4,000. This time the turbo charger went. I know its still under warranty but they always seem to find something to charge you for that's not covered. I feel that every time I bring it in they break something else so they can get me in again. That's sounds absurd but if you had to deal with them, you would feel the same way. I don't trust them. On top of all that we have this scandal which is above and beyond what I thought they would do. Now I feel cheated and lied to and I'm stuck with a car that I can't get rid of without taking a huge loss. I read the posts on this site from the owners in the U.S. complaining that they are getting shafted and then someone (most likely an employee of VW) berating them. I'm with the U.S. owners. I would've never bought this vehicle if I knew the truth. I bought it because it held it's value longer than most, it was extremely fuel efficient, it had plenty of power and it was something that would last me a long time given it's history. Well here we are. It's a LEMON, It's unreliable and it's value has tanked therefore I can't get rid of it. on top of all that, I'm faced with having to find a new vehicle long before I thought I would and I would have to pay for depreciation and a 13% tax again. Yes I'm whining and complaining but I paid alot of money and have every F****** right to do so. #F***VW. #DONEWITHVW,
