I own a 2001 vw Jetta. I bought it 3 years ago, used from the Volkswagen dealership. The automobile was sold as a "certified" auto, which I found out later does not mean much. My trunk is locked shut and does not open manually or with remote, I've had to replace cv boots, catalytic converter, transmission and numerous headlight, taillight and blinker bulbs. And today one of my headlights is so dim, it doesn't really provide any light when it is dark. I have replaced it and replaced it. It stays fine for about 2 days and then just dims out again. I can't afford to keep taking it to Volkswagen. It's a rip off and they don't even fix anything right anyway. My engine fan went out all of the sudden the other day, causing the car to overheat. I had to get it towed. That isn't the first time I have had to pay to have it towed. The interior plastic coating on armrests and all plastic inside is peeling and looks terrible. When I push unlock all doors, the driver's side back seat door will not open unless I reach inside and pull the lock open manually. There is so much more, but I don't want to waste my time. I know nothing will happen, even though it is so obvious that these cars are complete lemons, and they need to stop selling them to people.

Contact stated Volkswagen, Jetta had defect in the front lights. A plastic housing became amber, reducing the brighteners of the lights. This problem made night driving dangerous. The contact bought the car brand new ,and the problem was continuously getting worst. The police pulled him over once. They verified that the lights worked. The police recommended that the contact repair the front lights. . . . . .

Inside of headlamp lens covers becoming cloudy/contaminated due to misture buildup from drl (daytime running lights) use. The continual degradtion to the lens covers from inside the lens results in a continuous loss of projected light during night driving conditions.
