My future daughter in law owns a Volkswagen Jetta. Went to gas station for gas and could not fill the tank. Took the car to Volkswagen dealer where they are charging over 800. Dollars to put in a new gas tank, since the car is relatively new this seems like it should be a recall. Or at least under warranty. If she was on the highway she would have been stuck in the lanes with no way of filling that tank...can you research these gas tanks for the safety of people.

The vehicle has been seen by mechanics from two different dealorships on five occasions due to the check engine light to date. On the fourth trip to the shop it was evaluated by the mechanics as having defective gas tank that had a slow leak. On this occasion the auto was kept for 1 week for repairs. Here we are a week later and the light is back on and it's back in the shop again. Meanwhile I am on probation at my new job and am having to take considerable time off due to these repairs. I am still on probation at this job and I have also missed out on the opportunity of overtime because of continual trips to the dealors shops. I have only made three payments on the car to date and I am paying for something that is in the shop as much as it is in the driveway. Aside from the fact that I have reached the point where I am afraid to drive it for I fear it could possibly be a deathtrap! I am not sure about the belt question that are within this form.
