Rimal310 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 if it's not to late try to sell it back as a lemon and start over. after 4 dealer attempts to fix it, you car sell it back as a lemon. happened to my brother and cousin. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70 Cam Guy Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Have they had it on the alignment rack? Shocks and bushings are good? Have they looked for service bulletins? Are you going back to the same dealer each time? Any symptoms driving that would point to anything? (tire noise, vibration, rumbling, roaring, etc) + everything Jasper said... 1 tire, all tires? how many miles on the car? mileage on the tires?

jasper Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Back in the late 80's , I was an employee of VW corporate. I was also involved in Lemon Law/buybacks/resolutions. WE ALWAYS tried to fix the car and make the customer happy/whole. SOMETIMES the customer was the "cause" of the complaint. I'm confused as to why you would ask for help, but provide no information. There are some very sharp people on here, with lots of expereince. Good luck with your lawsuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyZdriver110 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 What tranny is it ( DSG or Manual)? What engine FSI or TSI? Did you buy this gti new or used and what brand tires? Is the suspension stock or if not what upgrades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J240ZTurbo Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 It's a DSG funny we actually got a letter from VW stating a nationwide recall with the same problem I got. Car was brand new and again it's my wife car all original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
