My name is Ajay Patel, I am a MECHANICAL ENGINEER (which i mention because legally i can account for part failure in front of a judge!), and I bought

a 2006 VW TDI in August '05.  With 12,120 miles I had the same problem as

many of you complained about...MY CLUTCH FROZE TO THE FLOOR AS I WAS DRIVING!  VW said it was my error, and I disagreed...as i know an

instantaneous failure of any mechanical system is due to a part

malfunction!

 

Ok, ok...so whats my point!  I took the car to a third party mechanic and

my insurance company came to inspect the damage.  Bottom line is that a

tooth in the pressure plate FAILED and DESTROYED the inside of the clutch

area!!!  THIS IS 100% WARRANTY COVERED DAMAGE!  I have a feeling ALL OF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS!

 

I presented this evidence to my dealers GM.  HE AGREED THAT IT SHOULD BE WARRANTY, and admitted he was informed by the VW rep that this IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM!  He too is sick of VW and its treatment, even to him!  However, VWOA still insists that the part is not covered under warranty!

 

Please, we need to get together.  If we garner enough support, we can go

after VW, TOGETHER!  There are LOTS of consumer advocate groups, and even the BBB to work with!

 

Go to these sites, and begin lodging complaints:

I would like for everyone to EMAIL me their story, and contact info @

aap28@comcast.net.  I am gathering support to do this.  I will not let

this go!  Please, lets not allow ourselve to get defrauded any longer!

 

I thank you so much for your time!  We will get what is ours, and we wont

allow this company to play us as fools...ANYMORE!
