Really sorry to read about your issues Subsonic.
I've been a VW nut since my Dad brought home a new 75 Dasher from Douglass Motors in Summit NJ (traded in his 73 Fastback)--been directly involved with many of my friends buying new VWs over many years (the most recent was a friend in Cumberland who purchased a 07 Passat 2,0T from Clair in Saco). I've kept my 93 VR6 Passat (with a persnickety 096 trans I've rebuilt myself) on the road for 8 years (and an 83 Jetta TD, 95 Golf, 99 Passat, 89 Jetta, etc, etc).
My best friend who lives in Manhattan was ready to replace his 2002 Jetta (01M was failing at 130K miles) in June--on my advice he had purchased 3 new VW's over an 18 year period. This time around I steered him towards a Honda. He and his wife now have a CR-V.
I've been party to, and heard of, too many stories like your own experience with VW lately.
I really hope the insanity stops soon. Really depressing.
Best of luck to you!

VW never complied with the Motor Vehicle Arbitration Boards decision. I finally have hired a lawyer to handle the case. Lawyer sent them a demand letter telling them they are in clear violation of the consumer protection law and guilty of unfair and deceptive trade practices. VW is liable for triple damages plus court costs plus lawyers fee's. Thats the state law in NH. I asked for 2x so we could have a speedy resolution. Vw responded with a basic up yours letter. Looks like we file suit in court. This may drag on for a year or two. Just great.

The only word I can think of right now starts with F... I can;t believe they would be like that, its been 6 months since the arbitration. I'd sue them for a completly Free car.

30,000 miles and no severe problems on my 2009 Jetta TDI.
Sorry your car is a lemon.
Shame on VW for not standing by its product.
Hope your lawyer gets you a victory. Good Luck.
Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy.

I think at this point when you go to court, demand all the fees and whatnot, 2x your money back, and that they buy you a Ford and have Mike Rowe deliver it to you....
