2001 Volkswagen Golf review from North America
"A huge waste"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The first problem was my ABS system. Then after the dealer fixed it my brakes felt loose, so I had to get them bleed-ed.
All of my windows have had mechanical problems.
My 1st set of brakes wore off really fast.
My headlights, speedometer, and center console lights went out.
I find weird random parts that belong to my car on the floor of the car.
Once while driving I heard a huge bang coming from the bottom of the passenger seat. When I went to check it, I found that a huge spring had popped off from the seat. This soon happened to my driver's seat 2 months later.
While driving last year, my side rear view mirror cracked and popped off for no apparent reason. I didn't hit anything, and there were no other cars around.
The most recent problem happened 2 nights ago, when someone was changing lanes and almost ran me out of the lane. I went to honk the horn, and it didn't sound at all. That was extremely irritating.
