PARTS WERE NOT DEFECTIVE UNTIL OTHER REPAIR WAS DONE NOT RELATING TO THIS PART OF CAR IS FAULT OF DEALER BUT MUST BE REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE! DEALER SERVICE TAKES NO BLAME AND WILL NOT NEGOTIATE .

HEATER CORE HAS MALFUNCTIONED, CAUSING HOT FLUIDS TO ENTER INTO PASSENGER'S COMPARTMENT FROM VENT WHICH CAUSED WINDOWS TO STEAM UP. ALSO, CONSUMER MENTIONED RECALL 98V295000. CONSUMER NOT SURE IF THIS VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO RECALL. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 30MPH STEAM CAME OUT THRU VENTS (NO VISIVILITY) AND HOT COOLANT CAME IN FROM BEHIND THE DASHBOARD BURNING ME AND MY WIFE'S FEET, IMPAIRING VEHICLE CONTROL, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO HOT WATER AND LACK OF VISIBILITY. ACCORDING TO VW A RECALL WAS PERFORMED TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING ON JULY 30, 1999 AND THE VEHICLE HAD 63,376 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS 68,505 MILES. *AK

WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF VW IS RESPONSIBLE ON FIXING THE RECALLS AND ANYTHING RELATED TO THEM? NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED IN SUMMARY. *AK
