1998 Volkswagen Jetta wolfsburg review from North America

"1999 Jetta Windows are JUNK!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

First off let me say that I am so frustrated with my Jetta! Today it sits at the dealer waiting for the WINDOW REGULATOR that needs to be replaced at my cost. ($270)!!!

Had the headliner clips replaced after a year.

The front left speakers were replaced 3 times.

Socket failure on turn signals.

Had both front seat covers and door trim panels replaced due to EXTREME fading and wear after only 6 MONTHS!!!

Check ENGINE light revealed two faults with my vacuum hose.

Multiple issues with my Stereo... would switch from CD to tape on it's own, Volume knob won't respond and needs to be Pushed in and spun to try and control volume. (dealer says I need a new radio)

The LAST STRAW is this darn WINDOW REGULATOR!!! I have read MULTIPLE complaints on this site and many others with complaints on this issue. My drivers side window won't go up at all and it makes a HORRIBLE grinding sound when you push the window switch.

Of course since my car is the old style Jetta, which I purchased brand new it doesn't qualify for the window credit!! Isn't that GREAT!!

If anyone has any luck with obtaining a refund or satisfactory response from Volkswagen in regards to their WINDOW REGULATOR please let me know. I hope to take part in a class action suit against Volkswagen for their lack of accountability on this issue.

General comments?

I do not and will never again recommend a Volkswagen to anyone who asks!
