Consumer Description

MY 2001 VW JETTA JUST ROLLED 30000 ON THE ODOMETER. I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE PADS ON THE REAR OF THE CAR. I HAD TO PAY $350 TO GET THE PADS REPLACED AND GET THE ROTORS REFINISHED. I DON'T DRIVE THE CAR UNUSUALLY HARD AND DID NOT EXPECT THE BRAKES TO GO SO QUICKLY. ALSO, THIS PAST WINTER, ALL OF THE SPARK PLUGS WERE SHOT. THIS NOT SURPRISINGLY OCCURRED RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS LITTLE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I AM LEANING TOWARD NEVER LOOKING TO PURCHASE A VOLKSWAGEN AGAIN. *JB
