  • Automatic transmission
  • 81,000 miles

one valve on the engine was stuck open..The VW dealership is a rip off, $600 later the problem was fixed...but they said it pretty much costs so much because of the labor, no real parts were used to fix the problem. Also, the lady at the VW dealership said this wasn't common, but seems to be a trend!!!! She actually admitted that the engines are worthless, especially after ALL The problems I have had in the last 6 months.
