| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2003 jetta wagon tdi, 3.5 years old with 63k miles. i was driving in a narrow residential street with my windows down. i began to raise the windows and i heard a loud pop and a strange noise from the passenger side. it turns out the window mechanism had broken and the window was hanging there 1/3 close in a strange angle. i tried to lower it or raise it, but instead it just went all the way down. the sound startled me and i momentarily swerved and hit the curve. there was no damage to the car or other property. i had to drive home with wet cold air blowing in, which was very distracting. i believe this is a dangerous condition both because the original sound is startling, and because the condition becomes a distraction from driving. *jb |
