2004 Volkswagen Jetta Wagon review from North America
"My first and last Volkswagen"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The automatic transmission was replaced at 9400 miles. It had been faulty for months.
General comments?
Transmission problems, clunking, began in the summer of 2004. Many trips to the dealer to complain, but they said unable to replicate the problem. They finally agreed there was a problem in March, 2004 and said they would order a new transmission. Then they changed their mind and serviced the original. Upon return transmission was worse; slippage, clunk, jump out of gear. Back to dealer who finally installed a new transmission.
