| 2002 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:SWITCHES:BRAKE LIGHT | I HAVE A VW JETTA 2002 I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT RECALLS THAT I HAD NO NOTICE OF AND PAID TO HAVE THE ITEM REPAIRED. ALSO WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE TECHNICAL BULLETINS FOR MY VEHICLE. IF THERE IS AN ISSUE CONCERNING CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH THE MALFUNCTION LIGHT INDICATOR THAT CONTINUES TO COME ON BUT THE AUTHORIZED VW REPAIR SHOP CAN'T FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT GET THE CAR TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN I BRING IT IN. ALTHOUGH THEY CONTINUALLY TEST DRIVE IT. *TR |
| 1998 | VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS | LIKE OTHERS, I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION COIL REPLACED. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, OF COURSE. I HAVE ALSO HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS (REGULATOR AND MOTOR) FOR ALL OF THEM. NOW, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING AND THE CAR IS SPUTTERING. I KNOW THE SECONDARY AIR INTAKE VALVE NEEDS REPLACING BUT IT DID NOT CAUSE PROBLEMS. NOW I'M WONDERING IF SOMETHING NEW IS WRONG??? ALSO, I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH LOSING COOLANT AND HAD TO CONTINUOUSLY REPLACE ANTIFREEZE. AFTER FIXING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SMALL LEAK THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WILL NOT PRODUCE COOL AIR! THIS CAR HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND VW SHOULD LOOK INTO ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS. *JB |
