2001 Volkswagen Jetta GS review from North America

EPC was replaced one at 50000 miles, and again at 55000 miles.

Temperature control sensor was replaced at 60000, and again at 71000, for 300 dollars each time.

Reverse lights went out. The switch is in the transmission. That'll cost me about 500 dollars to fix.

The cable in the shifter needs to be replaced at a cost of 600 dollars.

The transmission began to slip at 65000 miles. I don't even want to know how much that will cost me.

Had a transmission gasket replaced at 66000 miles. That cost me 650 dollars.

This car is a money pit. The cost for fixing minor things is absolutely the most ridiculous thing about these cars.

We loved the way the car looked and drove when we got it, but that's where it ends. I will never purchase another Volkswagen as long as I live.

It cost 95.00 just to hook it up to the computer every time you take it to the dealer. I feel like I'm getting it fixed at least every other month. I can't wait to pay off this piece so I can get a Honda.

I would love to be able to run it off of a bridge so no one else has the burden of dealing with it. I could've paid it off with the money that I put into fixing it.

The dealerships are always trying to squeeze more and more money out of you. They are always "recomMending" things like a cooling flush or transmission flush, which costs anywhere from 200 to 400 dollars.

Please don't ever purchase a VW.
