I HAD RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM "SKYLINE" DEALER IN COLORADO , I'VE OWNED IT FOR,ONE YEAR HIT A SPEED BUMP AND THE ENGINE FELL FORWARD(BREAK-AWAY ENGINE) THE ENGINE HAD BROKE OFF THE ENGINE BOLTS(MOUNTS) AND THE ONLY THING TO HOLD PART OF IT UP IS THE TRANSMISSION ARM. I HAVE JUST NOW FOUND SOMEONE TO MAKE THE 8/15/06 REPAIRS ITS A SLOW GO,AND STILL OWE OVER 17,000 ON IT THE INSURANCE COMPANY WOULDN'T HELP THEY SAID THAT SOMEONE HAD WELD THE BOLTS BACK ON INCORRECTLY SO THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, I DIDN'T NOTICE, NEITHER DID THE DEALERSHIP FOR THAT MATTER IN THERE MANY POINT INSPECTION. *NM

MY CAR HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT AND LIKE MANY OTHERS ON THIS SITE IT HAS SUFFERED PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM WITH EACH ONE GETTING MORE SERIOUS. I HAVE REPLACED A MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR,GLOVE BOX,TURBO PARTS,AND SOME PLASTIC CLIPS ON THE ARM REST. BUT, WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER, FUEL GAUGE STARTED ACTING UP, AND THE FACT THAT THIS CAR HAS STALLED ON US THREE OR MORE TIMES RECENTLY (WHILE OUT DRIVING),THEN SAFETY BECOMES AN ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER COMING AND GOING OR THE STALLING PROBLEM, AS FOR THE FUEL GAUGE, WE JUST FILL UP FOR EVERY 280 MILES PUT ON THE TRIPMETER. *AK

THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW STARTED MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE AND WHEN I TRIED TO ROLL THE WINDOW UP IT DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND BROKE. I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND I JUMPED WHEN IT HAPPENED. THIS IS A HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PART. HOWEVER, TWO WEEKS LATER THE PART FAILED AGAIN. *AK THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE HAD RUN INTO A POLE AT A GAS STATION ON THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE. THIS PROBLEM REMAINED THE SAME. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. OTHER PROBLEMS WERE: THE TIRE PRESSURE HAD TO BE RESET ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, REAR PADS, A/C WAS NOT COOLING, GLOVE BOX, POWER WINDOWS, CONSOLE, POWER SUNROOF, INTERIOR TRIM, STEERING/SUSPENSION, DRIVEABILITY, TRIM ELECTRICAL, SOUND SYSTEM, AND HEATING/COOLING. *SC THE CONSUMER DID NOT REPORT ANY DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WHEN SHE HIT THE POLE. *JB

I THOUGHT MY FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE (A 2000 JETTA VR6 GLS) WAS A LEMON. I, LIKE MANY OTHERS, HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS SUCH AS: - REAR CUP HOLDERS BROKEN - MIDDLE/REAR SEATBELT LOCKED, CANNOT BE USED - 02 SENSORS BOTH REPLACED SINCE MIL LIGHT KEPT ILLUMINATING - MAS SENSOR REPLACED (AND LATER RECALLED) - BOTH FRONT WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN TO THE "BLACK HOLE" (AND LATER RECALLED; INCLUDING A RECALL TO THE RECALL B/C THEY WENT FROM METAL CLIPS TO PLASTIC OR VICE VERSA) - PAINT PEELING FROM INSIDE DOOR HANDLES - ALARM SYSTEM FAULTY ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR (DEALER TOLD ME THAT UNLESS THE CAR BEEPS AT ME, THE ALARM IS NOT SECURED. SO, I MUST LOCK THE DOOR. STAND BY FOR 15 SECONDS, LOCK THE DOOR AGAIN AND THIS TIME WHEN THE CAR BEEPS, THE PASSENGER DOOR IS SECURED. AND, FURTHERMORE, (THIS IS GOOD - KEEP READING)...
