NUMEROUS TIMES THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON MY 2003 JETTA. FIRST VISIT WAS 9/12/02. THE OTHERS WERE: 2/21/03, 6/13/03, 10/21/04, 1/6/05, 12/14/05, 12/21/05, 1/9/06, 1/13/06. IT IS CURRENTLY ON AND IS WAITING FOR A CAT. CONVERTER. THEY CHARGED ME TO HOOK UP TO COMPUTER, REPLACED ALL COILS & SPARK PLUGS AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AT 21,272, AND NOW LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AFTER I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT AND NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR BUT VW REFUSES TO PAY FOR IT AND FIX IT. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS, LET ALONE ROTORS ALSO, BEFORE 40,000 MILES. MY DRIVING STYLE HAS NOT CHANGED, IF ANYTHING I'VE MELLOWED WITH AGE. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT BOTHER ME BESIDES THE VERY SHORT LIFE SPAN OF THE REAR BRAKES ON MY JETTA. THE BRAKE WEAR LIGHT THAT LETS YOU KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH YOUR BRAKES ONLY WORKS FOR THE FRONT BRAKES. ALSO, I'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT ALTHOUGH THE ROTORS ARE NOT DAMAGED THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND CANNOT BE TURNED ON THE JETTA BECAUSE IT WILL CAUSE PREMATURE PAD WEAR! SO I HAVE DEFECTIVE BRAKES THAT WEAR OUT PREMATURELY, NOT WAY OF KNOWING THAT THEY'RE WEARING OUT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE PROBLEM (WHICH IS USUALLY TOO LATE), AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ROTORS EVERYTIME YOU CHANGE THE PADS! *TR
