Four problems related to ignition have been reported for the 1999 Volkswagen Jetta. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving at any speed vehicle shut down.
My 1999 Jetta iv (GLS vr6) needed a new coil pack at 75,000 miles (rough operation in wet weather; engine light finally turned-on). I have read that the replacement of the coil pack on the 1999 Jetta's is extremely common. A recall on this part has been issued for the 2000 and 2001 vehicles, but not for the 1999. I also read that some individuals may be in pursuit of obtaining legal actions to resolve matters. The part and labor is expensive. Please advise on whether a recall for the 1999 coil pack of Jetta vehicles will be acknowledged?*a.
I have a 1999 Volkswagen Jetta. On March 24, 2003 Monday morning I was driving with in the city in san ramon, CA and suddenly with a noise my car stopped. My engine won't start at all after that and in the end I had to call aaa to tow my car. Aaa towed my car to the nearest auto center, where after the complete inspection "bob auto tech" told me that the crank shaft of my car was broken. I was shocked and surprised to hear that, and I could not believe that. My car is only 4 years old, and has always been taken care of by me by regular servicing and oil change and always at vw authorized dealerships/workshops. I ended up paying up bills worth $3194. 82 from my pocket as it was not covered by the insurance also. I would kindly request you to look into the matter and help me with my distress and financial pain.
Car has several electrical problems. Have already spent about $1000 on various ignition related repairs at the dealership. Part of the dashboard lights do not work, trunk can not be opened from the inside.
