Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen owners have reported 3 problems related to rear suspension springs (under the suspension category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Both rear springs broke without warning (at separate times). This clearly seems to be a manufacturing defect, as I have since discovered that it's a very common occurrence.

About a year ago both rear springs were broke and the dealership replaced them. About a month ago both front springs were broke and the dealership replaced them. All the replacements were done at my cost. I now have a rear right spring that has broke and will now have to have it replaced. In my over 50 years of driving different model cars and truck, I have never had spring failures such as this. I haven't hit any major pot holes that would cause this type of damage. This must be defective springs. The last time I was at the dealership having the front springs replaced they said this is common. It should not be common.
