1999 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been a big headache from day one. The list is endless.
The first week, car would not start. Attempted to drive the car to the dealership for them to fix and car stops in the middle of the highway. The car had to be towed away.
Check engine light comes on and off.
Gas door will not shut.
Windows on both driver and passenger side dropped down through the door twice.
Hinges on glove compartment broke.
Sunroof will not open or close-tracks are broken.
Sliding cup holders broke.
Brake pads wore out quickly.
General comments?
Save your money and buy something more dependable. This car is not worth its price.
