Recalls one and all!
Volkswagens, Fords, Toyotoa Recalled.
Volkswagen AG is recalling nearly 40,000 Jetta sedans in the United States because fuel could leak and start a fire, federal safety regulators said Thursday.
Jettas from the 2005 model year are involved in the recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said a fuel supply line clamp may not be properly positioned, which could lead to a leak.

Keep Telling Yourself – Remember when you bring your VW in for the recall to keep telling yourself: “”All car manufacturers have recalls”".
And, remember, VW will respect you in the morning.

Recalls one and all! – VW is bringing out their new models. It is a critical time for VWoA. Sales are way down. And VW has developed a reputation for shoddy workmanship and poor quality. It was critical that the debut of the new models be problem free. What happens? within months of the debut there is a recall! Not to mention the rattling door speakers, and other problems. How pathetic IS that? The fuel line is not properly clamped and may start a fire! But seeing the unfolding scandal at VAG it may explain managements inattention to business. There is a major falling out occurring.
I am going to be accused of being biased, but frankly, I think this would be an incredibly stupid time to be buying a VW.

recalls – Well you gotta do what some customers are doing, only bring your VW in for
recalls and Warranty work. Ofcourse they will try to sell you a sorts of things
once you get there, but just say no. Say yes to warranty work and recalls though,
because it’s free. After the car’s out of warranty, you better sell the damn thing
or else it’s gonna cost you a hell lot of moooola.

parts – The reason for VW’s having so many recalls and problems is because they built
the vehicles from scrach. All the new features and systems in their vehicles are
so new that they don’t know what’s going to happen down the road. A majoraty
of the problems with VW’s is there electrical systems inculding their sensors.
VW’s snesors are built so poorly that’s why 90% of the vehciles in the shop is
there for faulty sensors and check engine lights. VWOA is trying their best to
update the sensors and control modules to cure the check engine lights tough.
