2000 Volkswagen Beetle review from North America
"Worst car ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light kept coming on.
Replaced the airflow sensor and fuel sensor.
Currently have the ABS and traction control lights are on and can't figure out the problem.
The brake light is also blinking and I don't know why.
Had to replace the water pump propelor because it was made out of plastic.
Turbo is currently not working to its full potential and don't know why.
And a bunch of the little things in the interior made out of plastic have broken.
General comments?
I work on cars and have done most of the work on the car myself. I have not been able to figure out why why the turbo isn't working properly and why some of the lights are on. This car has been more of a nightmare. Ever since it hit 60,000 miles I have had nothing, but problems with it. I hate it and want to drive it off a cliff.
