1998 Volkswagen Jetta GLX review from North America

"A sorry disappointment!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Everything cosmetic is going wrong with this car. My moulding is falling off all over, three pieces so far and the fourth is loose. Volks. America says "we'll pay 50% to repair it". That's a crock! I paid good money for this car and the dealer and the manufacturer will fix a design problem with a 3 year old car.

Spring for the clutch fell off too, bad light on a dashboard sent me flying to the dealer since it was the "check engine light"... this was at 4,000 miles!

Fuse box is dropping out.

I like driving my car... you know drivers wanted and all, but I will never buy another Volkswagen product. And shoot, I was going to look at a Passat.

General comments?

I will never buy another Volkswagen. I had a Ford Thunderbird for 10 years.. not a lick of a problem. After 8 years, the Ford dealer repainted the pillars because they had begun to peel and flake.

Volks is really poor on service after the sale. Not only that, but the dealer has told me that this is a generous offer because the warranty wore out at 24 months or 24,000 miles. Here's news... extended warranty means squat on anything except the engine. I will never buy another Volkswagen product. My advice, keeping looking!
