 Daniele's recommendation | |
Nice looking car.
Window leak and set on fire due to electrics!
I have had my Volkswagen Golf from new and at less than two years old it set on fire (luckily I and my baby had just got out about 1 minute before it happened). The dealer had it in the garage for 3 month's and has "fixed it" although doesn't know the cause! All they know is that it was something to do with the electrics and it's back on the road so they consider it "fixed". Quite how then can say it's fixed when they do not know what the problem was is beyond me. It also has a leak that soaks the front floors - although I must be imagining that since the garage can't find a cause for that either! I certainly wouldn't recommend VW to anyone after the service I have received from them both from the dealer and from head office. Reading other comments - I agree with the lack of pull off sometimes it feels like its not going to go then suddenly the car jumps forward!
