My vehicle is under recall because my fuel rail bolts can become loose causing a fuel leak and a fire. I do not feel safe allowing my daughter to drive my vehicle going back and forth to college. I have contacted Volkswagen corporate concerning a loaner vehicle until a remedy exist. They told me the dealerships handle loaners and a recall that does not have a remedy does not qualify for a loaner car per the dealership.

Is there a law firm heading up a class action lawsuit or is the government helping in any other way. This is how the biggest automaker in the world handles recalls. We had a recall with no remedy in our Lincoln and corporate Lincoln gave us a

As I drove home one night, the fuel gauge was showing empty when I knew that the tank was half full. This is dangerous for a remote, rural driver who needs to know how much gas is left in the tank. Nothing out of the ordinary was present for this occurrence. After I turned the car off and turned it back on the gauge was back to normal. I will be monitoring closely from here on out.

The fuse that controls the exterior lights (tail, marker,etc.) and interior lights at first interment would blow/burn out. Sometimes after a few days or a few months for the past year. In the past few weeks the fuse blows immediately once replaced. The car was brought to a VW dealer a year ago who changed the fuse and ran a diagnostic. It was brought back 4-5 months later and they again changed the fuse and ran a diagnostic. The second time was not given a slip indicating it was was there for the service and was not charged. While I understand no charge there is no no proof of service. As the fuse controls all the lights the car is dark at night.
