2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"Jetta: why lemon laws were created"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
During low speeds or gear, my Jetta will randomly (about once every 3 weeks or so) start jerking, resulting in a complete shut-down of the car. The ABS and engine lights turn-on. This happened recently on the San Francisco Bay Bridge. Luckily, I was near Treasure Island and was able to pull over, but it really scared me. Thank goodness, my kids weren't in the car or something else like that. I have all those other problems have, but have not heard about this one yet.
General comments?
I think this might be the biggest lemon ever made. I bought into the marketing hook, line, and sinker. I will never buy a Volkswagen ever again.
