“My 2004 vw GOLF was running rough. The RPM's were very high but the car was going very slow. I had new spark plugs and ignition wires put in. After a heavy rain a few weeks later I had the same problem. This time I had a new ignition coil put in. In total I spent $699.24 having the car repaired. Vw is currently running an ignition coil inspection and replacement program but my vehicle is not covered. I called to complain but vw told me there was nothing I could do but complain to the NHTSA.”
