2002 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My 1.8T looks great, but Runs like crap. It constantly sputters and stalls, It has been in the the dealer 7 times and they can't find the problem. They have reaplaced coils, master cylinder, sensor, and numerouse other parts and sitll can't find the problem.
Friday 12/5/2003 CT had a large snow fall. while my wife was driving the car up a hill on the merrit parkway, it just shot itslef off. Now traffic was at a stand still (in fact it took most people 3 house to get home) so she wans't pushing the car at all. THIS IS A NEW CAR, 26k I paid for it and it souldn't be doing this. I brought it to a dealer in Stamford, CT today and of course, they can't find the problem.
Now this is the second dealer this car has been to and Nothing has come out of it. VW does not take owership for their mistakes and I find it unfortunate.
