2002 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
"Because of this car, I will never ever buy another VW again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
About a year after I bought the car, the check engine light came on.
At the same time, my EPC light came on, and my car wouldn't come out of park. I had to get it towed to the dealership. It was a good thing it was still under warranty.
About 3 months ago, my speedometer stopped working, so now I can't tell how fast I'm going.
My cruise control doesn't work.
My check engine light keeps going on and off.
As of yesterday, my EPC light is back on.
General comments?
Ever since I have bought this car, I have had nothing but problems with it.
I'm honestly tired of taking it to the dealership, when I know I'm taking care of it.
All of the things that are happening with my car are hazardous, and I do NOT feel safe driving this car at all.
