1 Mid/rear Seats Assembly problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2004

I was cleaning my vehicle and noted underneath the passenger seat frame a broken spring. I took my 2001 Volkswagen tdi Jetta in for inspection to the timmons of long beach vw dealership. I was told that the seat frame was defective and that the bottom seat would have to be taken apart to replace a new adjuster spring . I was told by the service manager that my vehicle was out of its two warranty period. . . . Although it has less than 24,000 miles as stated in my owner's manual. The warranty policies of Volkswagen of America has changed in all models after 2002 since I bought the vehicle. . . Giving other customers 4years or 50,000 miles. There has been numerous, horrendous quality issues concerning this vehicle including the problem I am currently experiencing with the vehicle. I don't feel the car is safe to drive with another passenger since the seat is not able to hold its proper position and could be a possible product liability issue if I ever was in an accident. Furthermore, I feel this repair should be covered under a recall and I should not have to endure the costly repair.

3 Mid/rear Seats Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2000

I am not satisfied with my 2001 Jetta. One week after I purchased the car in Aug 2001 the passenger and driver side seats started to move everytime I stepped on the brake. I took it to the dealership and they said nothing was wrong. A few months later I noticed that floor padding on the back seat area (both sides) started bulging. The dealership indicated that is normal for all 2001 Jettas. I have several friends who drives vw and they never had the same problem with their floor paddings. A few months later, the window on the driver side broke. All in all my driver side and passenger side windows have malfunctioned 5 times. In addition to all these problems, the temp gauge also malfunctioned. The temperature gauge would move from extremenme heat temp tocold tem and vice versa. What upset me is that there are two current recalls for 2001 Jettas and I havent heard from vw. I wasn't even informed about the window regulator problem.
