general problems of the 2002 Volkswagen Jetta

Tl-the contact owns a 2002 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated the signal and hazard flashers are inoperable. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer nor independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 91,500. Lb.

This is a followup on my NHTSA complaint with odi 10660489. I would like to bring to your attention the NHTSA campaign id number 04v584000 which precisely describes the same problem I have encountered with my Jetta. Please note that my Jetta is also a 2002 model as noted in the above campaign.

Since I have owned the vehicle, the front bulbs on both tht blinkers and the main lights go out on a regular basis and have to be replaced. The longer I own the vehicle the more often I have to replace a bulb and these are not bulbs we can replace ourselves and therefore have to take the vehicle to a repair station to fix. I know bulbs need to be replaced but I am talking I am replacing a bulb almost every other month.

2 times I had to replace a faulty 02 sensor 1st time engine temp sensor. Rear left light burned out 3-4 times within 80 000km. Said it's easier to replace then find the problem at dealership. Have done oil consumption tests 1 litre of oil per 3161km. Saying that this normal. This dealership have recommended flushing the engine. Changing the grade of oil. Do not drive in rush hour traffic. Most of the consumption occurs on the highway and not in traffic. Change the oil instead of 8000 km at 5000km??? this is what Volkswagen has recommended. The most interesting part was watching the mechanic when it consumed the most amount between oil consumption test. He started looking for leaks again & added oil. Rattling in driver side door and window fell into door passenger side. Fixed window and rattling still seems to be noticable.
