2002 Volkswagen Golf tdi review from North America
"Buy this car if you like getting jerked around"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The power window clips broke and the window fell down inside. The car had less than 3000 miles.
The brake light switch went out and because of the transmission safety lock the stupid thing won't even go into gear. Worse yet this part is a dealer only piece and nobody has one.
Volkswagen customer service sucks. Dealers in my area don't have the part, dealers outside of my area won't send it to me. The car has sat for two weeks because because the Volkswagen company is a pain in the ass to deal with.
General comments?
I liked this car a lot until now. This car is still brand new and its already giving me fits. Worse yet, I got ZERO support from VW. I won't buy another VW, neither will anyone I know and you shouldn't either.
