I'm very disappointed with the treatment I'm getting from VW. My vehicle was still under warranty when I had a breakdown on the 6th of December 2025. On the 9th of December I towed the vehicle to VW Groblersdal. Ever since then I have never gotten any update with regards to the vehicle. Every time I call for update am being promised that they will call me back... On the 16th of January I went to VW Groblersdal personally to check on the progress of the car, i found out that nothing was done on the vehicle since it's arrival. They refused to offer me a courtesy vehicle till to date!! I went on to call the sales person who assisted me during the purchase of the vehicle, He tried his level best to get hold of Groblersdal, they promised him that the will commnunicate with me but nothing! I went on to write a complain to support@vwconnect.co.za still no response!! Yet I keep on paying the installement

I'm still waiting for a proper response for the email i sent on 31 December 2025. Please assist with a summary of the total amount paid for the vehicle loan, in addition, please indicate how much I have paid towards the interest for the vehicle loan. All I received was a statement NOT a response to my question. I sent a follow up email without any response.

I want to take this time to say thanks to Sanele( Lady) for her hard work. I called them because my debit was not debited. She went all out to make sure that the debit goes off same time. I am glad to have spoken with her. Not forgetting Katlego who also helped me with directing my call to Sanele( Collection department).

Dealing with VW finance is just pathetic. I sent them an email requesting clarity on the last date and the last amount to be paid. In addition I have been paying advance amounts on my vehicle loan, so I wanted to get clarity as to what happens to that amount and balloon when I finish paying the remaining premium amount.They sent settlement and statement. None of those documents explain what I asked. I sent emails twice, then I still get the 2 documents.

made a payment using payfast through their website and I received a confirmation proof from payfast. Now they claim that they did not receive the payment, i then forwarded the payment to them but they still dont acknowledge it since its not in PDF form.

So i wrote off my car and my account was settled. VWFS still debited me and I'm here begging for a refund. Please pay me back my money. Your consultants keep saying it's coming, like what nonsense is this? It's been way more than 7 working days. This is such an inconvenience
