The car makes a loud popping/ clicking sound in the back of the car (near exhaust) whenever I accelerate or let off the gas.
On Monday [xxx] my 2018 vw Jetta s started gushing gas from the bottom of the car. I immediately pulled over and called aaa to have my car towed to my nearest vw dealer which was national city Volkswagen 3131 mile of car national city, CA. The issue my car was having looked similar to a recall due to fuel rails coming loose. My car ended up having faulty gas rails which is part of a recall for my vehicle. I was told it was already corrected 4 years ago so I had to pay out of pocket for it. Yet the repairs or corrected recall are not on the carfax, for one. And for two, I did not own the car when said repairs were completed and I cannot find any record of it. I believe vw is still responsible for this as it is the same parts that were repaired for the recall. Plus, I missed a whole day at work because of this. ($30hr×8=$240) plus the $1438. 26 I had to pay out of pocket. Thank you for your time and consideration. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
