1999 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
"A zippy quality-looking vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heating and a/c dash lights went out at 30 000 km.
Air bag light went on at 35 000 km.
General comments?
I have enjoyed this car, but after 3 years, I didn't expect to have to take in the car for some mysterious air bag malfunction.
I did notice deep rumbling noises occasionally during the winter but, only on very cold days. The noise lasted for a minute or so then, subsided. I was told that this was nothing to worry about.
