General comments?

I have had nothing, but problems with my 98 VW Jetta since purchase.

I wish I would have taken consideration to a lemon law before it was too late.

Dealerships hands are tied by VW of America and VWOA will not help in the least.

Definitely would never purchase another VW. BEWARE!

Between the crummy workmanship and awful support (not to mention paying over $700 in "scheduled maintenance" in one shot, I will NEVER buy another VW. I feel your pain!

I also feel you pain. My window regulators and motors? All 4 replace 4 times, one replaced 5 times! VWOA paid the first several even after warranty, but after a class action suit about the windows was filed that didn't include 1998 Jettas, they started refusing to pay. They said all the times before were a measure of "good will." I asked, "So, there no more good will left?" A simple "No" was their reply. I don't even want to talk about how long I waited for a replacement radio. (Hint: not as long as a year, but very, very close)
