Two problems related to turn signal flasher unit have been reported for the 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2000 Volkswagen Jetta based on all problems reported for the 2000 Jetta.
Turn signal on many Volkswagen models across many late 90's and early millennium models (including my 2000 Jetta vr6) are failing at an alarming rate. It seems to be a shared relay/flasher with the hazard system or the hazard switch (button) itself.
Each electrical problem was annoying for a brand new car but they were fixed. My concern is the oil burning for no apparent reason. No one at the dealership took me seriously until I threatened them with legal action but my car is still burning oil. I can't seem to make anyone understand that a car only one year old should not consume oil like this car is doing now. Twice I have been stranded with my 9 month old son in the cold weather because the red warning light for low oil has come on and both times I had no oil in the engine. There is obviuosly something wrong with this car but the dealer keeps telling me that their mechanics say there is nothing wrong.
