1991 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America

Dash board rattled.

After driving two hours or more, the engine wouldn't start back up if stopped. You had to wait until it cooled down. The Volkswagen dealers could not fix this problem the entire time I owned the car. Each time I took it to them they told me they had fixed it. It turns out it was a faulty design, the starter was built too close to the engine and would get hot, and not start until cooled off.

Rubber muffler brackets became loose every three months, causing the muffler to rattle with acceleration, and had to be replaced every three months until car was sold.

Shifter handle came off.

Radio knob came off.

Antenna broke when a truck passed me going the opposite direction on the highway.

Drivers mirror adjuster knob broke off.

Two of the four doors, the locks broke, on the inside of car.

Tires were rotated regularly, but tires developed flat spots on them, causing rough ride.

The lights in the rear melted holes in both taillights.

This is a horrible car, with a faulty design that caused the car to not start after two hours of driving. Volkswagen never recalled the car. Because it would only drive for a few hours at a time, it was not a car to take on vacation.

I will never in my life, and I hope you won't either, buy a Volkswagen again.
