    Re: R32 seat, WTF!!!!

    No offence, but if I worked for VW I wouldn't car either. The car was imported, the car is old, and who knows what history it has had. That's just my opinion on the subject, and not personal in any way. I just think that cars wear out, parts break, it is to be expected with age and use.

      Yes, general wear and tear items do break, and thats why we have service intervals. I dont believe a seat frame is a wear and tear item.

      Manufacturers have recalls on thousands of cars that are over 10 years old at times, sometimes for even minor problems... This could be a potential issue with more than just this one R32 and should be addressed

        ^^^Fully agree with Pat here. I just recently got my coilpacks changed out by VW as a recall item and its an 8 year old car. Nobody is going to die from a defective coilpack causing a small misfire. For something that could mean life or death if it malfunctions at the wrong time, I would hope someone in VW would take the time to care!

            I think I might begin to mention that you are considering talking with a lawyer and/or a consumer advocate at a news station as this is indeed a serious safety issue and their lack of concern is not acceptable.

              I agree with Blair.. call Global news man! it'll get fixed then..

              that's BS as that is a total safety issue. Who cares what side of the boarder it was bought on. If the car has never been in an accident in any way IMO VW can fix this

                I was thinking about doing this actually



                UPdate:

                Spoke again to the canadain VW supervisor who again said the car was out of warranty and thus out of her hand. She did however give me the contact info of someone in germany she said could possibly help. Anxiously awaiting a response from them and I will keep you posted.
