2001 Volkswagen Jetta GLX review from North America
"I love my car, but the cost of repairs is large"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Both front windows went down and never went back up the mechanism in the window was a recall, but only after I had mine fixed at a cost.
Water pump broke at 86000 miles.
The day after the water pump broke the battery went dead. A week later with all that fixed and now my check engine light is on and will not go off. The problem with Volkswagen is that it is hard to find a mechanic who is willing to work on them and the dealer is a wreck. They have messed up more things than I have asked them to fix. They are not truthful and cost way too much to even look at your car. They also stole my VW symbol off the engine cap. Why would they possibly want to take that?
General comments?
Car drives very well and handles great is bad weather.
Comfortable seats and lots of trunk space.
