2017 Volkswagen Jetta

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES, VEHICLE BEGAN TO PULL TO RIGHT UPON ACCECLERATION. (TURBO ENGINE.) TOOK TO ALL 3 DEALERSHIPS IN THE LAS VEGAS/HENDERSON AREA MULTIPLE TIMES. PUT FOUR NEW MICHELEN TIRES ON IN NOVEMBER, 2018. THE PULL REMAINED CONSISTANT AND IS GETTING WORSE. DEALERSHIPS DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AND DOCUMENTED AS "TORQUE STEER; A DESIGN CHARACTERIST OF TRANSVERSE MOUNTED ENGINE AND TRANS AXLE." AFTER CONDUCTING MY OWN RESEARCH, I DETERMINED "TORQUE STEER" IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. FROM THE WORDS OF A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, "TORQUE STEER IS DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF ONE OR MORE SPRINGS LOCATED IN THE TRANS AXEL AND MAY LEAD TO A SEVER SAFETY PROBLEM AS IT GETS WORSE." AT ONE DEALERSHIP, WHILE WAITING FOR MY CAR, I DROVE, WITH THE MECHANIC, A LIKE KIND 2016 JETTA. IT PULLED TO THE RIGHT ALL THE TIME. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF MY BUSSINESS CLIENTS HER 2014 TURBO JETTA PULLED TO THE RIGHT ALL THE TIME. IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, I RETAINED A "LEMON LAW" ATTORNEY. THE ATTORNEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE CASE UNTIL THEIR FIRM CONCLUDED THERE WAS SUFFICIANT DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY TOOK THE CASE AND THE OUTCOME IS STILL PENDING. AFTER 6+ MONTHS, I HAVE NOW CONCLUDED MY CAR IS NOT A "LEMON" AND BELIEVE ALL LIKE KIND JETTA'S WILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE NHTSA SHOULD CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE IF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. MY VEHICLE PULLS UPON ACCELERATION ON ANY CITY STREET, FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY 100%.

VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY PULLING TO RIGHT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED ON ANY SURFACE STREET.. INCREASES AT ACCELERATION. ALIGNED X 4 IN 2018, TIRES BALANCED, ROTATED, STILL SAME PULL. PURCHASED 4 NEW MICHELIN TIRES ON 11/5/2018. VEHICLE STILL PULLS TO RIGHT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF VOLKSWAGEN SERVICE DEPARTMENT. VEHICLE AT VW SERVICE 11/16/2018. THERE SOLUTION IS ALIGNING VEHICLE OUT OF SPECS TO COMPENSATE FOR RIGHT PULL. WHEN VEHICLE NEEDS FUTURE ALIGNMENT, MY CONCERN IS VEHICLE WILL START TO PULL AGAIN. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SHOULD INSPECT FRONT WHEEL DRIVE COMPONENTS. VEHICLE STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY AND I AM PAYING FOR PORTIONS OF UNSUCCESSFUL "REPAIRS," AND ENTERPRISE RENTAL CAR. FIRST DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALTERED DATE I BROUGHT VEHICLE IN AS IT IS DIFFERENT FROM DATE LISTED ON LOANER VEHICLE CONTRACT. SAME DEALERSHIP, AS CONFIRMED BUY SECOND DEALERSHIP, RETURNED MY VEHICLE AS "REPAIRED" WITH OUT OF ALIGNMENT PRINTOUT AND CLEARLY NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER DEALERSHIP HAS, OR IS, TAKING THE TIME TO PROPERLY INSPECT VEHICLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF CONSISTENT RIGHT PULL.
