2002 Volkswagen Jetta the cheap one review from North America

"Love the car, wish I could love how it was put together"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had a bevvy of problems and I am SHOCKED to hear how many other people are having the same thing happen:

Passenger door HANDLE fell off.

Passenger side window fell into door.

Side-view mirror adjuster know broke off during use.

Latch in center console broke off.

Mystery part came out from behind ashtray.

Three computer glitches that could have caused a serious accident.

Had to replace tires at 35,000 miles.

And NOW:

Car door sensor is broken. it thinks that the driver's side door is open, but it ISN'T. wouldn't let me turn headlights on without that horrible beeping tone and the red indicator light at the bottom of the door is on right now, as I'm typing, and will be throughout the night until I can get it to a dealership tomorrow morning, so I may have to call AAA to get a jump tomorrow too.

Plus all the ^*%&*%&$ recalls! every year I get a letter saying "take your car to the dealership and see if it needs this this and this recalled." it usually doesn't, but I have to drop everything and take it in.

General comments?

I like the car, it's great to drive, but it's made of lego's. things keep falling off and it costs a lot of money. I'm not very happy with the product and, if I wasn't so attached to it, I would not recommend it to anyone.
