Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | My 2013 vw passat 3. 6 sel has major problems with the lighting, seat belts, and body. The fog lights, and front marker lights keep blowing out on the vehicle. The seat belts lose tension while driving, and there is body roll on the vehicle due to substandard body construction. My 2005 vw passat v6 4motion had a much safer, higher quality body construction than my 2013 vw passat 3. 6 sel. It's quite obvious the executives at volkswagen of america, and volkswagen ag in wolfsburg, germany aren't interested in building safe, quality vw passat's. They are only interested in sacrificing quality, and safety to save a dollar. |
