2004 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"My 2004 1.8T Jetta is absolutely awful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator went out at 30,000 miles.
Secondary air pump went out at 50,000 miles.
Aux. Coolant pump went out at 52,000 miles.
Plus much more.
And today, my car overheated twice and had to be towed back to the dealership. Caused me to miss a final and almost miss a flight home.
General comments?
Loved it at first. Hate it now. Can't wait to get my Volvo.
