What a piece of JUNK. Remember the Jetta back on September 3? We got the car back last Monday and the car is already back in the shop for the same thing! The dealership out here in Columbus, OH is awful and I wouldn't recommend them to anybody who wants to have a good experience buying a new car. Nobody wants to hear anything about the car and the dealer actually said to us that we may have to do a dealer buy back on this. The car has been in the shop 12 out of the last 19 days, I see that as being a big problem. I would not recommend VW to anybody. There customer service is the fourth worst customer service in the industry and I now see why.
Don't buy VW if you want quality!!!
Amen! I feel sorry for all the VW owners out there! It will never be me again!
I agree. Nothing but major PROBLEMS with VolksWagen jetta. I don't wish this car on my worst enemy.
I love mine. I also love VW's and have owned many for years never getting rid of one because of problems, just for a new model. I am anxiously waiting the new 2008. Our 2003 tdi wagon is awesome and our dealership is also awesome. Sorry you all have had bad experiences.
I had a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta up until 3 weeks ago. Some problems I had with it were...
Center console broke, but it was fixed under warranty.
Seat heaters were recalled - fixed no problem.
Passenger door locks recalled - fixed no problem.
Some creaking in the dash.
Transmission slipping badly - I took this car into the dealer several times and they said nothing was wrong with it. It would only slip every now and again at first. Two years later it would slip all the time from 2nd to 3rd gear and from 3rd to 4th.
I traded this car in for a Suzuki Grand Vitara!
On the plus side I always loved the way the Jetta looked on the outside and it was peppy and handled well. Lots of extras for a good price. Wish it would have worked out.
