Description of the problem | Takata recall the recall i have on my car is the emission recall from a software that was installed from the factory, i am unable to get what i want because almost nobody will take it, i bought it in august or so and the car was advertised as clean diesel it isn't the car i bought and i want nothing to do with it anymore. Your recall statement states if your car has been recalled, the manufacturer will usually repair it at a local dealership. In rare instances when a manufacturer determines that a problem is too expensive to repair, it may replace the vehicle or refund your purchase price minus an amount to cover depreciation." i feel cheated and that i can't get what i want. I need a truck and can't do anything because it's barely valued at 12,000 dollars and when i bought it the msrp was $28,475. I traded my truck in on the car and some negative equity rolled over. The recall will result in a lose of mpg and power, and it has be trade the name as clean diesel already. I've spoken to vw credit and they can't help me and i called vw group of america and they told me they couldn't do anything as well. Vw has given out a care package to every victim, it consist of a 500 dollar card that can only be used at vw and a 500 dollar prepaid visa. This isn't enough to do anything with. I want out of the car and out of vw, i'm irritated that they won't do anything for the 11 million victims and refuse to do anything about the angry customers. September 18th recall was announced and to this day there is still no solution to this problem, and please help me and help the other north carolina residents that are in the same irritating incident. Thank uou. |
