Door Hinge problems of the 1999 Volkswagen Jetta

Upon starting vehicle the consumer noticed that the engine ran for a few seconds then stalled. The consumer was told that nothing was wrong with the vehicle. The problem was ongoing. A "too rich code," and the purge valve was replaced. The repair attempts for the vacuum leaks, oxygen sensors, the rich running of the engine, mass air flow sensor and connector. The consumer was informed that the part was out of stock. There was a vacuum leak and the intake boot had come off, the door hinges were loose, and noise had come from the starter motor due to an internal short.

The windshield wipers were intermittent. The dealer stated the wipers were incompatible. The wipers did not work in cold weather and did not have the proper speed in warm weather. The driver side window had fallen down into the door, the locking mechanism had malfunctioned and was replaced, the metal triangle pieces on the doors had been replaced, the cruise control never worked from purchase, and the front brakes had to be replaced. The consumer would like to know if there was a recall on the wipers. (no recall for wipers) mr scc.
