problem #2

Dec 242013

Jetta SE 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,000 miles

Car had somewhat just over 50k miles...alternator sounded like a bucket of nails until it finally took a dump on me Christmas day.

problem #1

Jetta 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission

car died on the highway

Poor design if car can't continue to operate for at least 100 miles if alternator fails
