problem #2

Dec 092008

Jetta

  • 15,987 miles
Purchased new vehicle 07/21/07 and on 12/09/08 I had to have the rear brakes and rotors replaced on my new 2007 VW Jetta with less than 16,000 miles on it! this is my 4th VW and I have never experienced this issue so soon before. My previous VW that I've brought to the same dealer for the last 8 years never had this issue. I find it inappropriate for VW to sell me a vehicle with sub standard parts that requires a lot of money to replace - with no disclaimer. I've come to expect better quality from VW. Which was the main reason as to why I purchased a new vehicle from VW again. To add, I'll have to go through this again every 15,000 miles or so. It is not a breaking habit as my prior records with VW will show that is not the case. While customer.

Jetta 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Air bag light comes on and stays on in the vehicle until engine is stopped. This has been going on since I purchased the vehicle back in July of 2007. They've reset the codes, replaced the seatbelt buckle and reset the connectors that have something to do with the airbags and nothing has worked. I've taken it back to the original dealer (where I purchased the car) four times for the same problem and it's still not fixed. I've called Volkswagen of America about this problem and they've done nothing. They suggested I bring it back to the dealership.
