36 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/09/2003

There have been numerous problems with the electrical system in my car. Most of which have been unfounded by the dealership. In most cases it is my windows that do not obey comands. If I push the window up button, the windows may roll themselves down or go all the way up instead of just a little bit up. Same on the down. Sometimes the pinch control will activate itself and the window (which I think is closing) will roll down. This is not a safety concern per say but I am concerned that I may be unaware of the window being down and my dog might jump out causing an accident, or it might draw my attention away from driving while I try to figure out what is going on, again, possibly causing an accident. The car has been in a few times for this problem but the dealership says they "can't duplicate the problem" and refuse to do anything about it. Another problem is that the radio stays on sometimes when I am exiting the car, again not a safety issue, but it really lets me believe there is an electrical problem with the car. I have also had a blown fuse-causing the epc-light to come on. . . It was for the rear brakes. The lights wouldn't turn off after I was out of the car.

37 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2003

I have owned a Volkswagen Jetta (turbo - 2003) and have had one horrible problem after another. Without fail, I have taken my vehicle in for random mechanical repairs every few months since purchasing the vehicle. I found out the car was manufactured in mexico and that vw was aware of how bad their car's manufactured in mexico were. If that is the case, how can so many car owners with so many mechanical issues continue to sell in this country? I would like to report vw for lackluster performance and for continuing manufacture in an area well known for its below average standards and for continuing to bleed the consumer when it is fully aware of the issue.
