 My father sold us the vehicle because 
we needed a reliable car and this one 
has had no problems.  Before he sold it 
to us he had the 40000 mile service 
performed.  Since then we have had the 
car back in the shop 3 times for over 
$250 each time (o-ring in air 
conditioning, brake light, stabilizer 
bearing, brake light sensor) and now 
the master cylinder (brakes) is out and 
they want over $500!  They act as if 
it's my fault and, of course, nothing 
is covered by warranty.  I will never 
purchase a VW again!!!
