2002 Volkswagen Beetle GLS review from North America
"Can't find anyone to service when a problem occurs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car ran great for the first 60,000 miles.
Now I am having all sort of "electrical-type" issues. The blue "cold engine" light stays on all the time and I live in Florida! Now the check oil PRESSURE light keeps coming on and off.
Can't find anyone to repair.
Dealers are horrible.
General comments?
I won't buy another Beetle because it is way too hard to find anyone who can services these vehicles and the dealers are not effective.
