2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"Lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When it was brand new, there was a software problem that impacted braking.
Since then, I've had to have it towed after a fuse blew and I couldn't get it out of Park (this was a recall issue).
I've also had to replace the brake pads and rotors due to rust. I suggest you refrain from using the parking brake as much as possible.
The newest problem was a leak. Thanks to this website, I discovered it was a plugged drain in the sunroof. It almost fixed itself but the car stinks.
General comments?
Nice to drive in the city, but the 2002 Jetta is a lemon.
