2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS from North America - Comments

I own a 2002 Jetta GLS 1.8t, about 70k miles. I have issues between 2nd and 3rd gear, as many people have stated, and was told it would cost 5000 to replace the transmission. Further, I already went through this same problem at around 50k miles, while it was still under warranty. Ridiculous.

2002 VW Jetta. Auto transmission is shot. These are bad cars.

I bought a 2002 Jetta GLS 1.8t n has had nothing but problems, lights shorting out, sparkplug wires shorting and now I was driving down the highway and my transmission just went. I have only had the car 5 months and already put 1300 into it, so now I can only imagine how much a tranny is going to cost.
