The vehicles' anti theft had went haywire. Went to start, beep sound went off. Then was locked inside car. With the alarm going off. Was only able to exit vehicle by having passerby unhook battery, while I held the unlock button. This was over 2 weeks ago. When hooking battery back up, the alarm still goes off. I am unable to drive. The battery was purchased new in June. Nothing has been added to vehicle. Please advise to how this matter will be resolved & if anyone else has had a similar problem.

The caller had the vehicle's electrical system replaced 5 times. The windows/the alarm system/the lights/the gauges, and the dashboard lights failed. As the caller indicated everything electrical malfunctioned. The caller was able to drive vehicle to the dealer, and a few times he had to have it towed. Dealer could never give him an answer why the vehicle was having these problems. The manufacturer said they could not help him for free, and since the problem included different components it did not fall under the lemon law. Manufacturer said that if the caller got a loan on the vehicle it would be a different situation.

I thought my first new car purchase (a 2000 Jetta vr6 GLS) was a lemon. I, like many others, have experienced several problems. Problems such as:
- rear cup holders broken
- middle/rear seatbelt locked, cannot be used
- 02 sensors both replaced since mil light kept illuminating
- mas sensor replaced (and later recalled)
- both front windows have fallen to the "black hole" (and later recalled; including a recall to the recall b/c they went from metal clips to plastic or vice versa)
- paint peeling from inside door handles
- alarm system faulty on passenger side door (dealer told me that unless the car beeps at me, the alarm is not secured. So, I must lock the door. Stand by for 15 seconds, lock the door again and this time when the car beeps, the passenger door is secured. And, furthermore, (this is good - keep reading) I was told that if I drive too close to a jea bus, their bus computer systems are run on the same channel as my Jetta's computer system and sometimes being too close to a jea bus will cause my cars computer system to scramble). Computer system can be reset, and did you know that while resetting, vw can make your car beep in different patterns? that's probably a "feature"!
- center console/armrest latch broken
- large spring sits underneath my passenger side front seat
- seat belt no longer click, indicating locked in position (dealer told me it still works. So, now I have to push it down and then tug on it, hoping that it really is locked -- if not, I may fly out that recalled window. )
- child restrain seat locks recalled
- trunk lock wouldn't stay latched
- front fender separating from body of car
- grinds going into second gear (manual transmission)
- when car is put into 1st gear, it waits a few second before it gets enough power to fully accelerate
- brake dust covers alloy wheel, in just hours of cleaning
drivers wanted. . . But they're all in the dealer waiting room!.
