2005 Volkswagen Jetta review from North America
"Love the car, hate the company"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Sunroof exploded outward while driving at 20mph.
General comments?
Going 20mph on smooth road, no trees or falling objects, but the sunroof suddenly exploded outward. Dealership claims this had to have happened due to an impact to the car; however, no marks were found on car.
Plus, 911 was called as I thought I was shot at. Glass went everywhere. VW company refused to pay for a new sunroof.
Bought my car brand new 09/14/05???
