Our Passat chimes ding!

Our Passat chimes ding, a fairly pleasant high-pitched single electronic bell sound. Unfortunately it closely resembles the sound of the main monitors in the NICU where Little T spent his first 6 weeks. And it dings a lot, so it grates on our nerves. The trunk latch is broken, so when the car hits any kind of rough patch, the trunk opens slightly and the Passat chimes a warning.

So this morning we took our Passat into our local dealership. There, I discovered there's yet another recall on our Passat -- three in three years. They're performing a software upgrade on the TCM, a computer module involved with the transmission. I'm never getting another Passat ever again.
