REAR BRAKES WERE SQEUALING FOR MONTHS. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE NOISE. FINALLY REAR BRAKES WENT ALL TOGETHER AND HAD THEM REPLACED AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. DEALER SAID THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE AFTER JUST OVER 30,000 MILES SO VOLKSWAGEN COVERED HALF OF COSTS. ONE WEEK LATER PICKED UP CAR AS I WAS DRIVING HOME MALFUNCTION INDICATION LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP AGAIN. ALL THREE OXYGEN SENSORS HAD BLOWN. DAY AFTER PICKING UP FROM DEALERSHIP PASSENGER WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR AND IS CURRENTLY BACK IN BEING FIXED. I KNOW THESE ARE ALL COMMON PROBLEMS WITH 1999 JETTA. VW WAS SOMEWHAT HELPFUL ON COST BUT WILL DO NOTHING NOW BECAUSE THEY "HAVE ALREADY BEEN TOO KIND". THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS AND I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT ANYMORE. NOW I HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF AN EARLY LEASE TERMINATION FOR FEAR OF INJURY OR MORE $ FOR DAMAGE REPAIRS.*AK
