Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: There is a spring under the driver's side seat of my 2000 vw jetta that has become detatched and fallen off. when you accelerate or brake, the seat shifts backwards or forwards. when i took the car to the local vw dealer for service, the technician, without hesitation, said that vw does not replace the spring, but has to replace the entire seat at a cost of $500+ dollars. his rapid response leads me to believe that this is a widespread problem with vws. i think it is an unsafe condition. *ak
