Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IN MY BRAND NEW VW JETTA COLLAPSED INSIDE THE DOOR AND BROKE. I COULD NOT ROLL UP MY WINDOW. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, THEY SAID THIS IS VERY COMMON, DUE TO HOT WEATHER. I THINK A RECALL IS IN ORDER, TO REPLACE THE PART THAT CANNOT HANDLE HOT WEATHER, AND ALERT THE PUBLIC. THANK YOU.
