  2. Hello fraudulent charge on my debit card. It was so nice to see you this morning. Also, whiney sad cone kitty...your insistent meowing is amazing. Please keep doing it! Sciatic nerve pain? WOW. You're so awesome. This morning is amazing for a crazy, hormonal pregnant lady. I just can't WAIT to go into a 3.5 hour really boring training session.

    I texted DaddySquirrel to apologize ahead of time for biting his head off when I see him.

    Holy motherkittening Louisiana VW dealership KITTENUP.
    They improperly installed my fuel filter and this morning it started leaking diesel everywhere.
    I kept smelling fumes in the car, got an awesome migraine, and finally figured out what was going on.
    Kittening service idiots told me to drive the car 120 miles back to the dealership like that...
    Called MY dealership in Jax, who advised strongly against that as there was diesel all over the engine compartment.
    Hoses, belts, motors, you name it. Plus, it was LEAKING. Duh.
    Called VW, told them hell no, I could not drive the car and now I'm 2 hours into my 4 hour wait for a tow truck
    from Lafayette that the dealership is going to pay for. Then a 90m ride to the dealership, they have to fix it,
    AND clean out everything, replace the belts if necessary, and then a 90m ride back home.
    There goes my kittening day. I'm driving 750 miles each way to Jax and back for Thanksgiving and I don't need this shit!
    PRE-COMMUNIST ANGRY UTERUS SMASH!!

    It pains me to hear fellow orchestra members practicing passages in the upper registers of their instruments with no sense of what the pitches of the notes they're playing should be.

    I have to spend the next three days fucking writing. I hate writing for school. Jesus, people, I just want to work. I would rather change adult diapers for 10 hours straight than sit here writing this bullshit. And I guarantee you I would learn a lot more.

    Oh boy. Boy oh boy. I could write a book about my negative experiences with two local VW dealers. I'm convinced that VW America does everything it can to avoid and delay issueing recalls so that they can charge the owners for repairs for which VW should be responsible. I had to track down "service bulletins" and demand free repairs in addition to numerous recalls. I'm glad that I found the website Volkswagon Vortex.

    Protip for dealing with crappy VW dealerships.

    Call corporate.

    My wife has driven VWs for the last 13-14 years. We had a cranky driver's side window on her first Jetta. It went out for the 2nd or 3rd time just after the car was out of warranty. I wanted the dealership to fix it anyway based on the fact that it was a repair of a repair. I also used the argument that the window switch was not really impacted by mileage (which was the reason we were out of warranty, not due to time) and that it should last more than 2 years. They balked. I called the corporate number and explained the situation. They asked me what type of resolution I thought would be fair. I told them I wanted them to pay for half of the total repair bill. They put me on hold for 2-3 minutes, then came back and asked for my mailing info so they could send me a check. A week or 10 days later I had it.

    I ended up with a free tow to Lafayette, full refund on the $310 service they did on Saturday for all the trouble. I freaking LOVE my dealership in Jax. They go above and beyond. I emailed their boss yesterday after the guy there helped me out over the phone. They really take pride in their work. One of the few.

    My car smells horrific. To get the diesel smell out of the interior, they used industrial strength cleaner. I have a towel over my seat so I don't smell like it. I can only imagine that this is what a dead hoarder's house smells like after crime scene cleaners are done with it.

    On our '01 Jetta the front passenger side window shattered late on a Sunday afternoon when I hit the switch to raise it. Fortunately it was still under warranty and we had good weather. I took it to a dealer within walking distance of my office, not to where I purchased the car. The service rep agreed, very reluctantly, to replace the window & the switch that was binding & breaking the window. ----VW knew about the problem, but at the time there were no recalls and no service bulletins, if your car was out of warranty you got to pay for the repairs, how nice for VW America!----

    To make matters worse he said that the dealership usually only worked on cars that they sold (he made it sound as though I should be grateful to them) and next time I needed warranty work done I should take the car to dealership where I bought it. The idiot knew, because I told him, I brought the car to them because I could walk back the office.

    This just one of many disappointments I experienced with VW. Yes, I should've complained long & long, verbally and in writing, to corporate.
