I assume this means the Alltrack is gone by next weekend? I know my wife now has a zero tolerance policy for being stranded. Either that or it would immediately become my car.

And yes, I don't think my wife will have any more tolerance for such an event (and I don't blame her). But as much of a discount as we got on the Alltrack, they don't exactly hold their value. If VW (or the dealership) were to offer to take it back in at a decent value, then yes, I do believe there would be a punch.

I assume you mean dealer taking it back on trade. since I am sure they will just fix it for you and not do anything else. Might be time to speed dial the Carvana machine again (though I would not be surprised if you already did).

I am fuming.

Plus, you know, I’ve had a problem child car or two in the past...
Understanding now that it can't necessarily be relied upon (we had a similar experience when my Land Rover wouldn't start a couple years ago), I will look into a AAA membership again.
Good suggestion.

We have an active AAA membership, but the lowest level. When the daughter experienced a shredded tire at oh dark thirty one morning on her way to work, we used AAA, but the tow radius was pretty low. AAA got it to the closest tire shop, which didn't have the tire we needed. Used MINI roadside to get it to the dealer, where we bought a new tire.

The tow truck did just arrive - so it was about 3 hours 10 minutes...and now another 1 hour 10 minutes to get down to the dealership in Denver, where I will be waiting with fast food.

The vehicle is at the dealership and I’ll anxiously await their call tomorrow. I’m ready to let them know that my wife has been driving for 35 years and has owned more manuals than automatics - clearly this wasn’t driver error and while I understand the need to ask the question, I sincerely hope they don’t try to go down that road.

There was a proposal put forward for Georgia to reinstate their EV benefits. Need to check if that passed.

@breld .....I’m fuming just reading about how your family is left stranded. As I’ve always felt, I don’t expect a car to be perfect. But, when one inevitably breaks down, I do expect the company who’s carrying the warranty (in this case, VW) to make an extra effort to get the situation resolved in a timely manner. My guess is VW is contracting with a tow company who’s the cheapest, not the best.
Brutal!! Let’s hope the repair process goes smoothly.

As for the car, if it was a simple obvious fix, IE a random bolt fell out, I’d be ok. If the root cause could not be diagnosed, I would have to move on unless it was a complete financial bath.

Glad to see great ex-Patriot Mike Vrabel takin' names!
Going to Boston Int'l Auto Show Friday, looking forward to checking out the Stinger and Genesis G70. Wonder if the new Vette will be there, and, if so, approachable?
With the 70 degree weather, went for a brief car shop, Audi/Acura/Porsche dealer. Porsche had a blue Taycan in the showroom, no monroney, locked and dark. If only the Panamera were as right sized and sharply styled; even the sales dude I spoke with said that.
Sat in a Mahogany (brown, questionable color...) '19 Panamera; seat felt absolutely wonderful. MSRP of over $113k, on sale for $96k. Luxor beige interiior with Mahogany wood, inclucing the steering wheel, but that exterior color will likely keep it on the lot for a while. Mostly electronics, few buttons so interior is dark until powered up. Saw what appeared to be a daddy buying a Porsche for his teenage daughter; I'll guess a Macan and I'll guess it was his daughter!

Good to hear help finally arrived. Yes, I have AAA just because I haven't heard too many good things about those road side assistance things. Yeah, they'll show up alright but when?

I hav AAA still, since the RDX isn’t covered. And I use it for travel. And I never get around to canceling!

Love that new Ioniq to be honest though not crazy about the split back window like in the Prius. But guessing one would get used to it in a short time frame. That interior shot was nice also. Not sure I'd go for the EV unit, the gas hybrid would be a great choice for me right now. Since my driving will be going down by 2/3, think I'd enjoy it. I'm using maybe a 1/4 tank per week now. Like that color, same as the Accent our daughter got last month. We like Hyundai/Kia products and am waiting to test drive the new Soltis just to see if I could live with one. After sitting in the Venue a couple of times now, I liked it but really need to drive one. Personally, really want to try the new 2020 Golf before I do anything. But, am finally ready to get into something new.

First, they let us know the clutch had failed and needs to be replaced. Yup, we figured that out on our own.
Second, the advisor stated the cost of the replacement is $3,200, to which my wife quickly replied, "covered under warranty," to which he quickly said, "no, it's considered a wear item."

I think he could have started out with what the options are before blurting out that it isn't covered, but nevertheless, I thought worst case was that clearly it will be covered under warranty and then we'll have to make decisions on our comfort level with the car after the repair. I still think that may happen, but the worst case scenario is significantly worse.
