#1672 of 1677 My Phaeton by bobbusbkr Aug 07, 2009 (6:55 am)
2004 V8 60,000 miles. I've had a few quirky problems [tire pressure system] but overall a wonderful vehicle.   Wellesley MA Volkswagen has taken care of my car and done a 100% flawless job. I believe having a highly skilled dealership servicing these vehicles is the key to a happy relationship between car & driver.   Best of luck to all.   Bob Lucido Winthrop, MA
#1673 of 1677 what can we do? by markhalpern Aug 07, 2009 (11:36 am)
Replying to: wab3tx (Aug 07, 2009 6:32 am) Dear wab3tx,      After reading your horror story, I feel ashamed to complain about my own used 2004 Phaeton. My car's only problem is with the TPMS, which has been worked on by three different VW dealerships, two of which claimed to have Phaeton-trained technicians, but without success. Clearly there is something basically wrong with the design/manufacture of the car's TPMS (at least of the 2004 model; I don't know if later models have the same problem).      And it's extremely unlikely that VW will do anything for owners of the 2004 Phaeton unless forced to; there are too few of us, and we're widely scattered, so we can be ignored. Our first step, I think, is to form a Phaeton Owners Association, so that our voice carries a little more weight with VW. I've addressed a couple of inquiries to VW of America, requesting some support in forming such an association, and have gotten nothing but a run-around -- they offer me a phone number where no one answers the phone, nor answers voice mail, and so on. One thing that would help greatly is to have the sponsorship of a VW dealer; does anyone know of one that might be willing to help us? Does anyone have any ideas on how to bring some pressure to bear on VW of America?                                      Mark Halpern
#1674 of 1677 Coronado Speed Festival's Fourth Annual Car Show by wimpy4 Aug 12, 2009 (1:52 pm)
Volkswagen Phaeton 04/05/06 Club of Southern California is planning on having a presence at this show in the form of at least four cars. Fees benefit Navy MWR. This is a two day show and we are planning on being there on Saturday, September 26th only. Fees total $40 for one day and you can display your car in a group of other Phaetons. The Festival itself is a huge entertainment. The Club is very informal - no dues - all owners welcome.   My Edmund's setting should allow you to E-mail me if interested in participating. Thanks, Joe Replies to this message: markhalpern (Aug 12, 2009 3:50 pm)
