1 Water Pump problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2017

I bought the car in October 2017 and had to bring it back few days later because the water pump was leaking. They fixed it and couple weeks later I had to replace the heater core couplings because they were leaking. Now in the beginning of December 2017 I was coming back from orlando FL from the dealership because I had to get my title from them, the car broke down completely on the highway. Check engine light and a epc light came on as well. I had to get it towed back to my house and had multiple mechanics stop by and inspect the car but there was nothing they could do because of the tools they didn't have. I even called other mechanic shops that specialize in european cars. I finally had the car towed to the Volkswagen dealership & they gave me a quote that was more than the value of the car. I also gave the dealership a call where I purchased the car from and they told me they would get back to me but never did until I called back with my mother and they said it has no warranty. Then I called the westlake finance company for the car and they told me to go through the dmv. The car is not driveable.

2 Water Pump problem

Failure Date: 01/10/2017

"takata recall" "water pump" I got many recalls on my Jetta gli 2012� . The last recall I got on the mail was on November ,2016 for the airbag control . After I dropped my car for the recall I picked it up same day . I noticed that the airbag light is on for the first time I haven't had any issues like this before . I returned back to the dealer and informed them , they said you have to leave it and we're sorry we didn't take care of that . I didn't have time to leave it there for one more day . Now they're asking me to pay for it around $992 ! I got all of the voicemail from the dealer they called me to apologize for the airbag light and asked me to come back to fix since it came up after I dropped it for the recall . Also , I have showed the quote for the water leaking to many auto care centers in houston . They told me that this kind of car with 2. 0 engine has a problem with the water pump and they will never get involved whit this car because to many people with the same engine and car model had the same problem several times . My car only got 60k mile on it and never been into and accident it's been less than 5 years now since I purchased the car . I paid 28k dollars cash from the first day just because I trusted in vw. I have contacted vw of America , but they didn't help me with my case and asked me to pay for it . �.
