I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH MY 2001 JETTA. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND THE FRONT BEARING TWICE. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE COILS TWICE ON THIS CAR. NOW IN THE LAST 2-3 WEEKS THE CLEAR COAT HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF THE CAR. THE PAINT IS NOT COMING OFF JUST THE CLEAR COAT. I CALLED THE VW CARE CENTER AND THEY RAN ME AROUND HAVING ME TAKE THE CAR TO A VW BODY SHOP, AND HAVING THE SERVICE MANAGER LOOK AT IT AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM COULD TELL ME WHY THE CLEAR COAT WAS PEELING. THEY BOTH DID RESPOND BY SAYING THE COULD BE SURE BUT IN MAY HAVE BEEN OVER BAKED AT THE FACTORY AFTER IT WAS PAINTED BUT OF COURSE NOBODY WANT TO ADMIT THAT BECAUSE THEN VW WOULD BE LIABLE TO FIX IT. SO IN CALLING THE VW...

I HAVE AN ONGOING WATER LEAK IN MY 2001 VW JETTA. EVERYTIME IT RAINS, WATER LEAKS FROM A SPOT NEAR MY GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR. WITHOUT FAIL, A 3-5 INCH POOL OF WATER COLLECTS EVERYTIME IT RAINS. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO PAY THE $70/HOUR COST AND STATES THAT IT IS MY PROBLEM AND NOT A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT.*AK

I HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS REPEATEDLY WITH VW CUSTOMER CARE CONCERNING THE INFERIOR MATERIAL USED TO UPHOLSTER THE JETTA TDI (GLS). I STATED TO THEM THAT IT WAS LIKE DRIVING A GIANT LINT BRUSH! ANY CLOTHING YOU WEAR STICKS TO THE SEATS AND DOORSAND ON A GOOD DAY, EVEN THE CEILING! THE OPERATOR I SPOKE WITH WAS VERY POLITE WHEN HE ASKED ME WHAT I THOUGHT THE RESOLUTION SHOULD BE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM? I STATED TO HIM THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE COMPLETELY REUPHOLSTERED AT VW'S EXPENSE!AT WHICH POINT, HE OFFERED TO SEND ME A KIT TO HELP DEAL WITH THE LINT PROBLEM. I ASKED IF THEY HAD RECEIVED A VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THE OPERATOR STATED, NO. I ASKED HIM, WHY DO YOU CONVENIENTLY HAVE A KIT AVAILABLE FOR A PROBLEM YOU SAY DOES NOT EXIST? WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE CALL WAS VERY SILENT FOR...
