2003 Volkswagen Jetta GLS review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

2003 Jetta. After running a dianostic on my car I learned that the coolant gauge was bad (the waring light would turn on and off randomly). I had it replaced and later learned that there was a recall for that (luckily it was only $79). My gas tank lid release was a POS and there were several times when I couldn't gas because the gosh dang door wouldn't open. I also have had similar problems with my radio. The CD player wouldn't only work randomly and constantly would spit out my CD's. The volume would turn up when I tried to turn it down and the radio would stay on even though I removed the the keys. I lucked out because my Jetta was still under warranty and they replaced the radio for free. But that was a complete hassle because the dealership said that there was nothing wrong with the radio and that the CD player worked just fine... I had to argue with the manger to get them to to "take another look."

I am now currently trying to figure out way I have no tail lights. I have replaced the burned out bulbs and they still don't work. I have also checked all of the fuses (because the fuse map is a crappy) and now my car won't start. I am going to try the tip about the master key and hope it works. If anyone has any info about the tail lights that would be great.
