| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought my jetta iii gls in 1995 brand new. within a year the molding on the doors started peeling off and eventually falling off. the dealer sent it to a body shop to have it glued and it never stuck. i've been driving for years with one molding missing. i have replaced multiple power window motors and parts. failure of these power windows are consistantly failing one after the another. i had smoke and an electrical burning smell coming from the steering column and failing blinkers which were both related. i replaced the blinker system and problem was solved. the lock freeze easily in cold weather and i have had the driver side lock completely fall apart while unlocking the car. the seal on front windshield is wearing away causing leaking of rain and this will be fixed with $100 resealing of windshield. rusting is occurring under car and on underside of doors, vw said it must be rusting from the inside out to be covered (wouldn't that be bigger problem if it occurred from the inside??). the oil seal is leaking. the oxygen sensor has been replaced and needs replaced again. the middle console was permanently locked and dealer took it lock out saying it was broken. the windshield washer fluid container has broken twice. this is all with 85,000 miles. these are common problems with jetta but window motors and molding are by far two main problems that should be covered with a recall, ask any jetta owner. *nm |
