Nothing like paying Volkswagen $300 to replace a wheel bearing that was supposedly the cause of the steering wheel shaking only to find it is still doing it. I am not amused. <\/p>\n
We had the car in on Friday to have a new tire put on and were told one wheel bearing was in need of replacement and it should correct the issue. We brought the car to the dealership last night and picked it up after work today. Joe took it on the highway to test it out and it’s acting exactly the same!<\/p>\n
I really don’t want to see those people again, but what else can we do? This needs to be fixed or we won’t be driving 4+ hours to Wisconsin in two weeks or driving out to Florida, and I really really don’t want to fly, not just because I’m afraid, but because I cannot possibly pack light enough for the airline’s requirements. Plus I do not want to deal with a nasty smelly rental car. <\/p>\n
I hope VW stops being so stupid and fixes the problem. I’ve been scoping out the VW forums and it looks like it’s a simple case of tires not properly balanced and\/or the car in need of an alignment. But why suggest that when they can go for the big guns and get $300 out of us, right? Grrr!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
