1999 Volkswagen Jetta wolfsburg review from North America
"A great reliable car that they need to get all the kinks worked out and fast"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had a lot of the same problems everyone else has had. Right now my jetta is in the shop for a number of things. first of all I have had 2 pretty bad accidents and I have not been injured one bit. The car is extremely safe. on the other hand ever since I have had problem after problem. Right now I am getting over $700 worth of repairs done and that isn't even everything. I am not getting my speedometer fixed that hasn't worked for a year and also am not getting an O2 sensor and Throttle body work done. In addition my rear driver's side window is not working, and last summer I had to replace the motor for the front driver's side window.
I am a huge fan of the new jetta's, but I cannot see myself buying another. Good luck to everyone.
