For the second time in 3 years, my rear windshield has completely shattered without warning. The car was parked in the driveway. When I got in, I heard a loud pop. I looked back and saw that the rear windshield had completely shattered. I had not yet started the car. The first time that it happened 3 years ago, I was sitting at a red light and it shattered. The kids were in the car the first time and got glass on them.

So inside of my vehicle I am unable to open my trunk by flipping the trunk switch. My left passenger door is unable to function properly. The windows won't toll down, the door is unable to lock and it's stressful because my car got broken into because of it. My right mirror turn signal doesn't function any more when I signal right it signals really fast and it's only signals using my headlight and tail light signals. Sometimes there is a kick to my car when I'm driving and in a couple of occasion when I start my vehicle my car revs up on it's own. Just a bunch of issues it's stressful..

The headliner is pulling away from the rear pillars. Being the primary driver of the vehicle I do not spend time in the back seat. My daughter is currently learning to drive so on a recent errand I was sitting in the back seat and looked up to see the headliner completely pulling away and coming down from the roof of the car and dome light. When I got back home, I did some internet research and found a multitude of websites, forums, etc. With people experiencing the same issue. Here are just a few of the addresses that I found: www.carcomplaints.com/Volkswagen/Jetta/2006/accessories-interior/headliner_separating_from_ceiling.shtml rich-blog.blogspot.com/2010/10/2006-Volkswagen-Jetta-tdi-headliner-problems.html forums.volkswagenvortex.com/showthread.php?5104886-sagging-falling-headliner-warranty-success-stories-please www.cars-guide.com/Volkswagen-forum/2006-Volkswagen-Jetta-headliner-T4941.html additionally, I personally know another 2006 Jetta owner in schenectady, NY with the exact same issue. As the headliner falls, it is creating a visual distraction as well as impairing my field of vision to the rear of the vehicle.
