Purchased 2008 VW Beetle from mckinney Dodge, got it home and happen the next day noticed the drivers side door brake was broken off and had a jagged edge, took back to Dodge, they just removed old part did not bother to fix brake, I carried it back several days later and was told they would have to weld it, not thinking that was right I carried it to VW dealer, was told not to let them weld it, and only way to fix it is to install a new door, shouldn't this be under some warrany and the car has a 8900 mile warranty still left on

Rear suspension makes squeaking noise. Tire pressure indicator on after 2 hours of driving. Head lights too weak bulb for front or rear or reverse always needs replacement inside hand rest too weak design always break. VW service station too expensive and wants money only. 2)fix it yourself. Keep doing it till I cannot sell it. 3) fix it your self. Yes would like to have the manual so I can do it professional myself. 4)in little rock the North point service station is the worst VW station.they only want money even to fix or in inspect or find out what is at fault. Buying VW means do the repairing yourself. Parts too expensive.
