"Unreliable, but a nice drive"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Driver's side window fell completely out into door (33,000kms)

Car "surged" while in cruise control on a flat service. I was going 90km/hr at the time, my car nearly redlined... not apparent reason.

The entire ignition and its chamber has to be replaced (46,000kms). The parts need to be ordered from Germany, it will take 4 weeks, AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED Warranty!!

General comments?

I loved my Jetta when I leased it. Yesterday the car died. Now I have to wait 4 weeks to have it fixed, and it isn't covered under the extended warranty that I purchased on the recommendation of the financial agent at my VW dealership.

VW Canada has offered to absorb the entire cost, including my rental car for the next 4 weeks.

The service I've received at the dealer and VW Canada was excellent! However, the car itself is a lemon.

Well at least VW Canada will work with you, VW America pretty much tells everyone they can't do anything for you. Sorry~
