2005 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8 Turbo review from North America

Wow, where do I begin with what has gone wrong with this car. I think everything on the car has been recalled by Volkswagen.

After have the car for about 4 months the check engine light came on, so I brought the car to the dealership which I purchased it from and they looked it over and just told me that there was a misfire and they reset the dashboard lights. Well a few weeks after they reset the dashboard lights, the check engine light came on and again I brought the car back to the dealership, they told me the same thing that there was just a misfire and they reset the dashboard lights, this went on for about 3 years.

Finally in January of 2005 I brought the car to the dealership where I purchased the car to get my routine oil change. They did the oil change and called me to let me know it was ready. Oh, I forgot to mention that when I needed to get the oil changed it took the dealership over 3 hours to change the oil, even though I had scheduled an appointment. So, I went to pick up my vehicle and everything seemed fine, but on my way home the car just died on me. I called and had it towed back to the dealership, at my own expense of course, and the dealership told me that it seems that they did not put oil back in the car. Pretty important step, I would think. So I had to end up paying over $3000.00 to get some engine work done on the car.

Needless to say 4 months later the car died on me again and now will not start.

I will never buy another car from this company again. I have also been trying to warn everyone I know about these cars as well.

If you are looking into buy this car, do a little research first. I have researched on Goggle and have found numerous websites dedicated to unhappy Jetta customers all having the same exact problems I have been having.
