Firstly id like to point out that i have owned Volkswagens for the past 17years and they have been exceptional vehicles...
I purchased the Car Brand new from ALPINE VW in Pinetown in April 2011.
It began giving me major mechanical problems after 3months where it had - 3000km at the time.
Since then it has been in and out of Alpine VW in excess of 30times to date and it usually goes inn for repairs for a min 2 day waiting period and as long as a 5 week waiting period.
I have overlooked the finer issues the car has always.
The main issue is the Misfire on the Motor.
I have been forced to pull over on numerous occasions, SWITCH OFF the motor, wait awhile and start and drive off again slowly and not exceed 80km/h before it looses its power and im forced to pull over again.
I have insisted on REPLACEMENT vehicle since the 1st Major problem @ 3months of age and to date i have not had any satisfaction from the Owner of ALPINE VW ie. Garth La Reservee.
I have also asked Garth to approach VWSA on numerous occasions to replace the said defective vehicle as they are unable to find the exact fault till today.
I demand that VWSA get actively involved in the matter.
