Car dealer claimed they had fixed all necessary repairs to car that I had said were needed prior to me purchasing. The indicator lights went off as soon as car got moving. Contacted auto dealer who said they would take it back in and get it taken care of. Then refused to work on car, told me to take it to mechanic near me and send them the information to have it covered. Then refused to pay for repairs to car. Due to their incorporation and refusals nearly resulted in accident when car tire blew out while driving through town. Car was going at low enough speed to stop before more damages could take place. Now dealer refusing to even talk to me.

Heat does not blow out any of the passenger side vents, including the windshield defroster, even after the engine is up to normal operating temperature. The result is that the passenger side of the windshield does not defrost, obscuring visibility. My research tells me that the problem is a plugged heater core. The heater core is only covered up to 36,000 miles but my car has 74,000 miles on it. Vw will not cover the cost to replace the heater core.

Continental tire type 235/45/r18. I had a side wall blowout on I-95 while driving at a speed of 65mph. The tires came on a 2013 vw passat tdi sel. The dealer in hyannis, ma where I purchased the vehicle said that it must have been something that I did. The tires had 16,500 miles in them with a tread wear of 2/32 (almost brand new). The dealer also said that they were not responsible for the tires that come on their vehicles. This website has numerous posts having to do with continental tire side wall blowouts. I believe this to be a potentially serious issue.
