2000 Volkswagen Jetta GLX review from North America
"This car is a big problem that I wouldn't recommend to the person I hated the most"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Window regulators replaced 4 times in the first six months I had the car.
Center console broke in the first six months of having the car.
I have replaced the Ignition switch at least 4 times in the year and a half that I have had it.
The bumper grills have either fallen off, or have been stolen 5 times.
The warranty company won't cover anything if any after market products are put into the car (Including a new stereo)
Trunk lock broke 2 times.
There is now a loud clicking noise when I roll the back windows up or down.
The driver door sounds like its going to fall off when it is opened or closed.
When one thing goes out, they all go out, like when my lights broke, it took my blinkers, windshield wipers, air, heater, and window buttons with it.
No customer service in the service department.
General comments?
Although this is a good looking car, with a nice pick up, all of the problems that come along with it isn't worth it. The dealership I go to doesn't care about the customer or their needs like they say they do in the commercial, its all about money, and when it comes to money, if you want this car, plan on spending a lot of it. Not only did the dealership give me a hard time, but the warranty company did as well, and its been nothing, but headaches when it comes to this car!!!
