problem #5

Jan 012011

Jetta Vr6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

I got the car in 2011, and didn't even know they were supposed to work. They never worked since I've had it.

Jetta

  • Manual transmission
  • 130,000 miles

It flickers on and off randomly. If I turn the lights on and off, sometimes it goes away, other times, it does nothing.

Jetta

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

It works sometimes. I've learned where everything is now anyway since I'm used to it never working.

problem #2

Jetta GLS

  • Manual transmission
  • 20,000 miles

I don't remember how early on this happened exactly, but the car was fairly new (like in that range where your warranty has just expired but you still like the car). I mentioned it when I had the car in to the dealer and was basically told to live with it unless I wanted to take apart the front electrical system on my own dime. So, 7 years later, I've memorized which dial controls which function, but guests in my car have to freeze or beg for help. I'm thinking of installing braille.

Jetta GLS

  • 53,000 miles

Again one of the many annoying things that have gone wrong in my car and will cost me an arm to fix.
