| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Our 2004 vw jetta 1.8t has had numerous problems from a clicking/popping noise in the front end at approxmiately 10,000 miles, to the transmission locking up while operating vehicle. the clutch/disc went completely out at 15,000 miles. all the interior and exterior lights went out as my wife was driving in the dark on a non lit back road to work, transmission locked up between 3rd and 4th gears, transmission still slipping, back door locks do not un-lock when remote is activated, service department has re-torqued everything on vehicle but this has not made problems go away. since may 2005, the service department at local vw dealership has had my car fora total of 62 days for service and it is still not fixed. problems continue to mount and the dealership for the most part states "that they cannot replicate the problem." the dealership replaced all the wheel bearings in the front of the vehicle and this did not stop the clicking/popping noise, they replaced the clutch disc this did not clear up the problem, the electrical problem could not be replicated per dealership, the engine continues to have a whistling noise, transmission continues to slip. the driver's side leather seat has the seams pooping loose and a part of the frame is pushing through the leather. trunk latch has been replaced 2 times. dealership states car is safe to operate, i beg to differ! |
