Jetta 3.2L

  • Manual transmission
  • 75,000 miles

The door would rattle loose, prompting the "door's ajar" ding to go off. I would have to slam the door several times in order to get the dinging to stop. When the door rattled loose on the highway, I had to either pull over or endure 5 minutes of the damn dinging before it would shut off. Highly annoying. To top it off, only 2 years later, I'm having the same problem, and the dealer (the same dealer that I paid through the nose to fix it last time) says that their repairs are no longer under warranty. Bastards!
