1999 Volkswagen Jetta Wolfsburg review from North America
"Good performance, poor quality parts and electronics"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Check engine light comes up regularly, regulators, cables.
On window broken, motors on windows, brake light which.
Prevented the gear from shifting (something that the dealer.
Failed to recognize early on; took them 4x to figure out the.
Problem), handles/knobs in car, radio went out and was.
Told it needed to be replaced (luckily got 2nd opinion).
Volume turns up when I turn it down, panel on side door.
Fell off. All due to cheap parts or electronics.
Nothing major (knock on wood!) with overall performance.
Of the car however!
I agree 100% with all of the comments about those darn.
Windows! They are totally unreliable. I thought it was b/c I.
Was in an accident, but as it turns out this is a defect on the.
Car. How much time has been wasted on these little things!
Poor design!!! Yesterday the back window just wouldn't go.
Up. I had to push it up with my hands, and it slid back down.
Luckily, I already was going in today for the other window.
Which has a broken motor. VW dealer estimated the job for.
The broken motor at $900!!! Say it isn't so! I don't know.
Anything about cars, but I know this is tooooo much $$.
General comments?
I wish I had bought a Toyota or a Honda!
