Consumer Description

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR A TOTAL OF 14 DAYS IN DIAGNOSTIC. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN IT TO A INDEPENDANT VW MECHANIC TWICE WHO TELLS ME THIS IS COMMON. NOBODY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE IS FOR GLOW PLUG MALFUNCTION. I HAVE HAD REPLACED THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR, THE GLOW PLUG RELAY, ALL 4 GLOW PLUGS AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL COSTS OF DIAGNOSTIC. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME BACK ON, IT IS STILL A GLOW PLUG MALFUNCTION. I HAVE PAID $800 FOR UNNECESARY REPAIRS THAT THE DEALER TELLS ME IS THE PROBLEM. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE REPAIRS ON THE DOOR LOCKS AND WONDOW REGULATORS, AS WELL AS THE AC MODULATOR, MIDDLE CONSUL LATCH,GLOVE BOX HINGE, REAR SEAT ASH TRAY. THIS YEAR OF JETTA IS A TRUE LEMON! IF VW IS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEN LEGAL ACTION WILL BE REQUIRED TO RECOVER MY LOSSES.*AK
