230 days in vw dealer's repair shop ! i purchased a 2002 vw eurovan weekender camper with 142,276 miles on 2/25/12 because of its excellent space utilization and because it had a replacement engine still under vw warranty. i was very wrong about the vw warranty. i paid $21,780.63 for warranty and/or faulty repairs all performed by vw dealers with vw parts! it cost me $1.02 for each of the 21,360 miles i drove my vw. the faulty repairs involved 3 replacement engines (coolant hose clamps popped off), 2 replacement transmissions, and 2 drive disc replacements (no guide sleeves installed). one engine needed replacement after fewer than 1800 miles! neither vw in germany or america would honor their 12 month/12,000 mile warranty for vw dealers. owner date days mileage <---- advertised vw 12 months/12,000 mile warranty----> paid paid w/o van out actual months/miles <------- description of repair -------> _________ ________ _____ _______ _________________ ____________________________ 09/12/07 6 82,311 1st replacement transmission 04/08/11 18 134,638 ...
