I have had nothing but issues with my 2001 Jetta. I have replaced all the wheel bearings and the front bearing twice. I have also had to replace the engine coils twice on this car. Now in the last 2-3 weeks the clear coat has started to peel off the car. The paint is not coming off just the clear coat. I called the vw care center and they ran me around having me take the car to a vw body shop, and having the service manager look at it and neither one of them could tell me why the clear coat was peeling. They both did respond by saying the could be sure but in may have been over baked at the factory after it was painted but of course nobody want to admit that because then vw would be liable to fix it. So in calling the vw care center back the pretty much told me the car was 5 year old and it wasn't their problem any more but mine. Great customer service. I've owned other cars and never had a problem with the clear coat. Granted they were not vw cars. I recommend not to buy a vw of any kind because this company will not stand by their fault. I mean 5 years old that the clear coat is peeling off. That isn't right. Thanks for nothing vw. Don't buy a vw.

Bought a Volkswagen Jetta GLS in 2003. Several things have had to be replaced. For example the glove box cover, wheel bearing. My mechanic told me that on most newer vehicles that wheel bearings do not require maintenance. My car has 74,000 miles. Last week I was driving and my malfunction indicator light started flashing and the car if going over 30 mph cut out. There was a rotten egg smell. It immediately went to the dealership and they said the catalytic converter and 2 coils were faulty. They replaced the catalytic converter and ignition coils for cylinders 1&3 and cleared fault codes. The catalytic converter was replaced under warranty. But said Volkswagen feels the ignition coils are a regular maintenance issue. I have done some research and am finding that Volkswagen has numerous complaints on the coils. In my research I found that vw had a customer satisfaction letter that was sent out to vw owners to bring car into dealership to replace the coils. Vw representative in michigan told me that they stopped doing that in 2005. I believe that I should have not had to pay to replace the ignition coils. Vw knows that they have had numerous problems with this. I love my vw but I have had problems this car that I have never had in any other vehicle. I trade vehicles every 3-4 years but will not purchase another Volkswagen. Not because I have had so many things go wrong because the strange problems I have had with the car and Volkswagen doesn't take care of their drivers.

Auto: 2004 Jetta GLS 1. 8t on 4/20/2005, the dealership "riverbank motors" in stamford CT had to retorque turbo to exh manifold bolts. Car was returned fixed. After road test. On 7/1 2005 the front end exhaust diconnected and had to be towed to the dealership becuase it was undrivable. All warrantied. After being told numerous stories and misscommunications the service dept informed us that this time the bolts were stripped and the entire turbo unit needed to be replaced. Brought the car back for the 2nd time since the bolts were only temporarily tightened. The dealer is replacing the turbo unit under warranty but cannot explain why or how the bolts were stripped. "your guess is as good as mine" was the answer I received from the service director. Fortunately for me all warranty!!!! car is 1 year old.

A defect with my right rear wheel bearing was detected over two weeks ago. It is faulty. My car has 32000 miles on it. I contacted the dealer for its replacement. The dealer diagnosed the problem, and said it should be covered under the powertrain warranty. However, he later came back and said Volkswagen would not cover it. I have an extended warranty, but I am being asked to pay the deductible. The customer service agent at Volkswagen (I called the company directly) said they would "not offer any goodwill in this case". I know this is a defective part, yet vw is refusing to take 100% care of it. It is a safety issue and needs to be replaced immediately.

Consumer concerned with engine and wheel bearing issues. Wants to know who is going to reimburse for repairs. Oxygen sensor had to be replaced several times. The driver side inner door handle was difficult to operate. The left side axle shaft was replaced because it was making a whining noise. While driving the vehicle stalled. It was later determined that a small rodent had built a nest which clogged the air box. The vehicle stalled again and this time they replace the maf sensor. The cruise control was inoperative.
