Description of the problem | I bought this vehicle new and had the heating system serviced at the vw dealer. The heater core has fail two times, both times i had it replaced at a vw dealer. The first time was on 12/21/2016, i contacted vw and they would not cover any of the emplacement cost. The second time was on 01/24/2018, the dealer representative said vw would cover half of the cost of the repair. I paid for my have and then contacted vw to see if they cover the whole cost. They said they would not. Thank you. That is two heater core replacements in a 13 month period. That makes me think there may be a problem with the heater cores.[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
