2003 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went out at 50,000K.
Malfunction Sensor light came on twice; took it to the dealer both times.
Replaced glow plugs, coils etc.
Front bumper came off.
Interior paint (cup holder paint peeling).
The car left me stranded 3 times, took to the dealer.
Then at 70 k miles, the car will not start, turns over, but nothing happens. Taking it to the dealer again, 2 time in 3 weeks.
Extended warranty = RIP OFF. This is my second Jetta and my last
NEVER AGAIN, BUYER BEWARE
General comments?
I was a VW enthusiast, but after buying a 2003 TDI Jetta, I would have to say, it has been a huge disappointment, not to mention expensive to repair! Buyer beware.
Sorry VW, you just lost a long time customer!
