3 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2008

2001 vw Jetta-- window regulator replacement. Vw will only replace windows with proven defect(windows that have already fallen down). I live in mn and I don't want to chance that my windoe will fall down in the middle of winter. I asked vw to replace all window regulators, and they refused.

4 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2004

Before I picked up the car- it needed a new fuel tank because the dealer was unable to put gas into the car. At 60,000 miles the crank shaft broke off and a new engine was installed. My driver side window fell down. Two plastic things keep falling out of the sunroof and I put them back up. Numerous oxygen sensors have been changed but my check engine light remains on. Finally, at 107,000 miles my transmission went out and vw refuses to help with any of the cost because it is out of the warranty.
