Consumer Description

THE 2001 VW JETTA I PURCHASED IN APRIL 2003 SEEMED TO BE A GREAT CAR UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF DEALERSHIPS OR "SPECIALTY" VOLKSWAGEN AUTO SHOPS AND NOONE IS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE LIGHT IS ON UNLESS I PAY THEM $600-$1500 TO GO IN AND DIAGNOSE MORE THOUROUGHLY. THE COMPUTER ON THE JETTA PUTOUT A "FUEL-INJUECTION" PROBLEM AND NOONE IS ABLE TO TELL ME WHAT EXACTLY THIS COULD BE. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT ON AND WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT ON IF IT BEGINS TO FLASH. VERY FRUSTRATING.*AK
