2000 VW beetleought the car new. At 12,000 miles had a bent tie rod which VW insisted that I damaged which I didn't. if I did I would have blown the tire out. Troddle box needs replacing because of a bad censor. Total cost over $500 not including what I spent replacing the tie rod. Lost power in the car, twice and service cannot find the problem. Check engine light keeps on coming on along with the epc light. Air bag indicator light had to be reset due to the power failure. VW customer service is worthless. Don't even want to acknowledge the problems.
