“I BOUGHT MY 2001 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA USED IN JULY 2006. EVER SINCE, THERE HAS BEEN A HORRIBLE SMELL OF CRAYONS INFUSED THROUGHOUT MY CAR. I TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET THE SMELL OUT. HOWEVER, THIS SMELL IS BECOMING A DAILY BURDEN FOR ME TO EVEN DRIVE THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES SINCE I GET HEADACHES AND REALLY AFFECTS MY ALLERGIES. I TRIED TO RESEARCH THIS SMELL AND FOUND MANY FORUMS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM SAYING THAT IT IS COMING FROM A CHEMICAL IN THE CARPET. I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHY VOLKSWAGEN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT CAN BE VERY SERIOUS. CHEMICALS SEEPING THROUGH THE CARPETS AND THE DRIVER BREATHING IT IN EVERY TIME THEY DRIVE IS NOT A PROBLEM THAT A DRIVER SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT. A CAR IS UNSAFE ENOUGH BUT TO ADD TOXINS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I DIDN'T PAY FOR A CAR TO GET HEADACHES AND BREATH IN CHEMICALS WHEN I DRIVE IT. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO A PROBLEM THAT HAS REALLY BECOME A BURDEN ON MY EVERYDAY LIFE! *TR”

“I HAVE A 2001 JETTA AND IS HAS A CRAYON SMELL IN IT. IT GETS WORST IN THE HEAT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET HOWEVER IT CONTINUES TO BE IGNORED. IT IS TO THE POINT WHERE I GET A HEADACHE WHEN I'M IN THE CAR. I READ ONE COMPLAINT SAID IT WAS A TYPE OF PLASTIC WAX JETTA USES IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT PRODUCT IS TOXIC. I HAVE EXHAUSTED ALL OPTIONS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO TO GET THEM TO DO A RECALL ON THIS MATTER DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS. *TR”
