Would like to know why we were never informed of the 3 recalls on our 2015 vw Gti. Started investigating after our 2015 vw passat has the bad airbags in them. Also own the Gti and we investigated to see if the bad airbags are in there too. That is when we found problems with the fuel pump which was recalled in June 2015, we were never notified, also a fuel leak of an ignition source. . . Never notified and a loose stabilizer link in the steering. Who wants to drive this car. Why were we not notified of these three recalls. We never moved, I want an answer as this car is always in use. We were really upset with the passat that we got rid of it and thank god we had gotten rid of our other new passat last year only to buy another lemon and unsafe vehicle from vw. . . . . . This being the Gti. Please get back to us. If anything happens life threatening, you will be held responsible. You are ignoring your customers who at one time loved their vehicles. . . . Now they are afraid to drive them. . . . But still must pay for them. Maybe we need a car replacement from vw for this Gti for not letting us know. Not even sure if this Gti has the bad airbags as your 800 number keeps me on the line on hold for over an hour I just think you don't want to answer.
The dealership left the shipping blocks/pucks/discs on the struts. This is a common problem as evidenced through many online forums. The dealership and many others claim that this does not cause a problem; however, the blocks prevent the suspension from doing its job, which is absorbing impact, improving braking, and helping the wheels maintain contact with the ground. I drove over 18000 miles not realizing that they were on (I just thought I have a tight suspension). I have now lost 4 tires (premature wear and bubbles/punctures) and have damage to the strut and steering knuckle. This is a potentially dangerous mistake.
