2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"Demonic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windows fell out - Dealership replaced.
Replace brake lights/headlights bi monthly.
Needs engine flush every 3 months from burning oil too hot.
Fuel filter replaced every three months along with injector flush - even with SUPREME gasoline.
Replaced fuel injectors 2 times.
Replaced O2 sensors twice.
Replace transmission at 62000 miles, acting up again, even though the fluid levels are fine and the fluid is still clean.
General comments?
I will never buy another VW. I cannot afford to get rid of this one, as I owed a ton of money on it the first time something went wrong... I cannot afford to cut my losses in repairs to start with car payments all over again.
