Hello All,
If Toyota and Honda are the pinnacle of reliability...why does is seem they have more recalls (airbag in the news) than VW?
Maybe I am wrong...perhaps forums can give a skewd impression on the number of issues with the GTI and the triggering of a recall.
The GTI/TSI is below average in reliability now according to my research. I had high hopes VW finally got it right after all this time... (my 1985 Jetta not so good-1990's horrendous-early 2000 wife's Jetta money pit/windows falling in door- 2008 FSI cam follower, etc.)
Does it take a lawyer's car to fail before something is done?
Seems to me my intake manifold (#3 on car), small radiator fan, etc. should have triggered a recall if it happens so often.
Thoughts...?
Cheers,
