Car of the people- yeah right!

My VW STINKS! Both literally & figuratively because it’s now leaking oil onto the engine and burning through the radiator. I bought it certified- pre-owned piece of garbage, I mean Passat! So far, replaced brakes(600), battery (ok minor stuff) CV Joints and boots (1,000), coolant system (2 weeks after I bought it to the dealer and they couldn’t find a problem, ALSO, coincidentally 2 weeks after my warranty expired… to be followed up by 4 new tires plus alignment… Oh wait! not a routine alignment b/c the ty-rods are rusted SOLID! (949)- Dealer promised to fix under open recall, then called back to say recall has already been done and the ty-rods failed again, so I must fix (540 + labor) Then routine oil change- wrong again- oil pan gasket leak… took it in to dealer to repair- FOUR different oil leaks (740)!! I’ve only had this 99 passat for 2 years, it has less than 52,000 mi on it and have spent almost 30% of cost of vehicle on repairs!!! I am young and wanted a reliable sturdy, vehicle. A vehicle of the people… Not what I got! I agree, “VW has changed the successful marketing philosophy that they had 10 years ago when they made cars that ran trouble free, simple to fix. I will never buy a VW again or a car that has a relation with VW”
