2002 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
"Could not be more disappointed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission failure at 90K miles.
Doors seals not working properly.
Problems with the seat springs.
Automatic windows not working properly. 2 Instances.
Had to replace the wiring to spark plugs.
Glove compartment handle broke.
Problems with brake lights.
Electrical problems with the radio.
Turn signal sound comes on when not turning or using turn signal.
General comments?
My 2002 Jetta Wagon is always in the shop! I thought that I was buying a reliable car with a good brand name when I purchased my Jetta, but if you look at the list of problems that have occurred, there is no denying that this is not a reliable vehicle.
