Wow... That sounds exact what my cousin went through... Except he was up
against VW on his Passat in late '80s. The problem is that the engine
would flame-out during driving. No one can figure out why. Replacement car
fell through. He threatened with legal action, and VW finally did a engine
swap. But that fell through when VW withdrew the offer later. Now no one
in the family would ever buy VW.
