: the contact stated the engine light illuminated four times. Each time the vehicle was taken to the local dealership for inspection and repair. The dealership repair department replaced the glow plug, the relay to the glow plug and the thermostat, however this did not remedy the problem.

2003 Volkswagen Jetta diesel tdi. The engine died at 70 mph. The consumer knew it was not the timing belt and believed it to be an electrical problem. The car has an electrical problem with the computer sensor that controls the signals. Lights to flash, flashers also with power windows. The consumer took the vehicle to a mechanic and he could find no reason for this to happen. The timing belt is in place and in good condition.

There have been numerous problems with the electrical system in my car. Most of which have been unfounded by the dealership. In most cases it is my windows that do not obey comands. If I push the window up button, the windows may roll themselves down or go all the way up instead of just a little bit up. Same on the down. Sometimes the pinch control will activate itself and the window (which I think is closing) will roll down. This is not a safety concern per say but I am concerned that I may be unaware of the window being down and my dog might jump out causing an accident, or it might draw my attention away from driving while I try to figure out what is going on, again, possibly causing an accident. The car has been in a few times for this problem but the dealership says they "can't duplicate the problem" and refuse to do anything about it. Another problem is that the radio stays on sometimes when I am exiting the car, again not a safety issue, but it really lets me believe there is an electrical problem with the car. I have also had a blown fuse-causing the epc-light to come on... it was for the rear brakes. The lights wouldn't turn off after I was out of the car.

Vehicle experienced hesitation, keyless key battery does not work, epc light illuminated due to lost of power, jack fell while car was on it, and problems shifting the car out of park. When the epc light illuminated for the second time, the dealer replaced the engine control module. The vehicle experienced two flat due to the tires being overinflated.

My wife's 2002 Volkswagen Jetta has a bad ignition coil. Both Volkswagen corporation and our local VW dealer, speedcraft in wakefield ri, admitted that they have a coil problem with all 2002 Jettas and passats. They further noted to my wife that they do not have enough parts on hand to perform an actual recall. We are demanding that they replace all 4 coils since they know that it is likely that all 4 will eventually fail. They are refusing to do this. We feel it is unacceptable for them to refuse fixing a problem they know will likely occur. Such a failure at the wrong time while driving could possibly cause an accident. We are fearing for our safety.
