| ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | |||

| There was a widespread safety issue of the passat and audi. the volkswagen dealer manufacturer admitted that all 4 ignition coils in these vehicle's were susceptible to failure and are likely to fail unless the part is replaced with non defective coils. despite this admission, neither volkswagen or the consumer's dealer will take the steps to remedy, unless failure occurs. at which time, only the failed coil will be replaced, leaving the vehicle susceptible to failure three or more times. scc *jb | |||

| I had just got my car back from the shop around 4p.m. i had parked my car in the driveway , well about fifteen minutes later my friend was leaveing and she noticed that my car was down the street in my neighbors yard and that the police and fire department were looking for who owned the car. i go running out as the fire department and police were comming up the street and i told the that it was my car. anyway the car was in gear and the emergency brake was on the police officer took pictures of the car and took pictures of the car being in gear and that the emergency brake being on he asked me to fill out a report so i did. i do not know what i can do about this i feel that they should replace the car, and send it back to the manufacturer. please contact me to let me know what i might be able to do about this situation. thank you steve nye. *ak | |||
