One problem related to starter relay has been reported for the 2002 Volkswagen Jetta. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2002 Volkswagen Jetta based on all problems reported for the 2002 Jetta.
The car would not start, made a clicking sound with each attempt, and the radio and automatic windows would not turn on/respond to control. The car had to be towed and the starter was found to be the problem on a relatively new car (3yrs. Old), 40000k. Have subsequently read anecdotal complaints that vw's have starter problems.
