ENGINE
TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 10 FROM TALLAHASSEE, THE CAR ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING. AFTER DRIFTING ONTO THE SHOULDER THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT WAS ON. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF ANY PROBLEM PRIOR TO THE ENGINE STOPPING. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON, NO SPUTTERING, NO LOSS OF POWER ETC. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO RESTART WITH NO SUCCESS, IT WAS TOWED INTO MARION FLORIDA. THEY COULD NOT TELL WHAT WAS WRONG AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALER IN VALOUSA GA. THERE THEY FOUND METAL PIECES IN THE FUEL FILTER AND SAID THIS WAS GOING TO BE A MAJOR REPAIR. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. *TR

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE AUTO UP FEATURE OF MY 1999 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAS NOT FUNCTIONED PROPERLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. OVER 50 PERCENT OF THE TIME, THE WINDOW DOES NOT STAY CLOSED. INSTEAD, IT AUTOMATICALLY RETRACTS. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DEALER IN FARGO ND DURING THE TWO YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD ON THE CAR. THEY WERE NEVER ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE THE CAR WAS IN FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. *NLM
