Description of the problem | Tires: front driver-side tire blown, "donut" spare on the car currently, with a 50 mph speed limit. Front passenger-side tire has a bubble in the sidewall. There are 2 open recalls - one for the air bag, and one for the headlights, that need to be resolved. I've been trying to get the recalls addressed since november of 2019. Every time i make contact with someone at volkswagen, i'm told i will get a call back but i never do. In november of 2019, i was told there was a backlog of recall work, and was given no time frame with regard to when i would be able to bring my car in for service. For the tires (for which i have a paid protection plan), i was told today (6/2/20) that the earliest i can come in is june 16th. I use my car regularly, and am not comfortable driving it in its current condition until then. |
