Great... I have left the VAG stable for this very reason. Only NOW u guys r raising this? :-p

J/k

So after 2 x VW i decided no more DSG based vehicles and switch to a maker that is doing better in the JD power survey. It is in the media that VW are taking this seriously and having customer servie report to the MD.

But this feels too late to me. That assh0le tech guy will still be at a certain VW stealership denying the existence of blatantly obvious issues.

I still think that the powertrain of the F30 is solid unlike VWs. Admittedly that view is starting to change based on feedback from 335i owners on the N55.

I also figured that i should not buy a vehicle so early in the product cycle. I think that this is really the main issue. The majority of complaints seem to come from vehicles made up to around mid 2012. One or two go up to Oct 2012 (incl Latte).

I deliberately pushed out my order and i am counting on this.

A poll would be interesting and also find out date of manufacture. I would think the faults per vehicle would drop.

@Latte - have u tried going to another dealer to get the issues rectified?
