I HAVE A 2003 VW JETTA TDI. AT 29,000 MILES THE CLUTCH FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY IN A BLIZZARD. THE VW DEALER HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANY INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE CLUTCH FAILED DUE TO MY DRIVING AND THAT IT WILL COST $2000. I HAVE DRIVEN A JEEP WRANGLER OVER 100000 AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CLUTCH. MY FAMILY AND I WERE IN DANGER IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSTATE 70 FOR SEVERAL HOURS. IN ADDITION TO CALLING THE VW DEALER, I ALSO SPOKE WITH 2 CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WHO TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAD THE CAR IN 2 WEEKS AGO FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM AND THE DEALER NEVER TOLD ME THAT MY CLUTCH WAS NOT FUNTIONING PROPERLY. VW SOLD ME THE CAR BASED ON QUALITY AND RELIABLITY IN BAD WEATHER. THEY CERTAINTLY CANNOT BACK WHAT THEY ARE MARKETING TO CONSUMERS. I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AS THIS. I WILL BE SEEKING LEGAL ACTION IF I AM NOT REMIBURSED FOR MY TROUBLES. *AK

I BEGAN NOTING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR IN FEBRUARY OF 04. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION OF MY DEALERSHIP AND VW OF AMERICA, THEY BOTH DISMISSED MY CONCERNS. THE CLUTCH WAS INSPECTED IN THE SPRING BUT THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM WITH IT. MY CLUTCH HAS NOW FAILED AT 18,600 MILES AND VW IS REFUSING TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN ANYTHING OTHER THAN MANUAL TRASMISSION CARS AND HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO REPLACE A CLUTCH, EVEN AFTER 130K. THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY CAR AND REFUSES TO REPAIR IT. I HAVE NO TRANSPORATION AS A RESULT AS THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A LOANER CAR WHILE I WAIT FOR THE FACTORY CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON TO INSPECT THE CAR. I HAVE NOTIFIED THEM THAT I WILL SEEK LEMON LAW STATUS IF THEY FAIL TO REPAIR THE CAR BY OCTOBER 8TH, 2004. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2003 VW JETTA HAS NOT WORKED RIGHT SINCE THE 1ST WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT SHIFTS INAPPROPRIATLEY AND HESITATES WHEN PULLING INTO ON ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE BEEN NEARLY HIT BY CARS AND TRUCKS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN GOING UP A HILL THE CAR SEEMS TO DOWNSHIFT OR SKIP A GEAR, THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. GOING 75 MILES AN HOUR RECENTLY THE CAR SEEMED TO DOWN SHIFT AND I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS GOING TO SPIN AROUND IN THE ROAD. I WAS ON THE TRANS CANADA HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY. WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL THE CAR ACCELERATES EXTREMLEY FAST. THE CAR HAS BEEN FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR 6 OR MORE TIMES. VOLKSWAGON IS AWARE. *AK

LAST JANUARY I BOUGHT MYSELF A 2003 JETTA STRAIGHT OFF THE LOT BRAND NEW. EVERYTHING WAS GOING GREAT UP TO OCTOBER ONCE THE COLD WEATHER STARTED TO SET IN. THE CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC AND WHEN LEAVING IT TO SIT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME I WOULD GET IN TO DRIVE THE CAR AND STARTING OUT WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR IT WOULD SLAM INTO GEAR. IT WAS ABSOLUTLY HORRIBLE AND SCARY FELT AS IF THE CAR WAS GOING TO BOTTOM OUT. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT IT IN FOR A CHECK, THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR SO I TOOK IT HOME AGAIN BUT THE PROBLEM KEPT HAPPENING. SO AGAIN COME MARCH I BROUGHT IT BACK THIS TIME THEY HAD IT FOR A WHOLE WK AND AGAIN TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG, SO I BROUGHT IT HOME AGAIN AND AGAIN LATER ON NOT EVEN A WEEK LATER IT STARTED TO SHIFT LATE AGAIN SO I CALLED AGAIN THIS TIME THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING MORE HE COULD DO FOR ME. I CALLED THE VW COMPANY AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE WAYI WAS DRIVING THE CAR "I WAS AN AGGRESSIVE DRIVER". I CALLED THE BBB AND OPENED UP A CLAIM AND NOW AGAIN THEY HAVE MY CAR AND I HAVE A RENTAL BUT AGAIN THEY ARE TELLING ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. NEVER ONCE HAS ANYONE APOLIGIZED. NO AUTOMATIC SHOULD SLAM INTO GEAR WHEN DRIVING IT. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO EVEN TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALL THEY KEEP DOING IT TURNING IT AROUND ON ME AS IF IT IS MY FAULT THE WAY I AM DRIVING THE CAR.. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON MYVWLEMON.COM AND I HAVE FOUND A MILLION OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND INFORMED BARRYS OF THIS AND THEY TOLD ME UNLESS IT IS THE EXACT SAME CAR SAME ENGINE SAME STYLE THERE IS NO CASE.. THIS IS THE ABSOLUTLY THE WORST I HAVE EVER BEEN TREATED FROM A COMPANY.

I OWN A 2003 VW JETTA. I BOUGHT IT ON 09/02. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS. FIRST IT WAS MY ELECTRICAL. BY BRAKE LIGHTS STAYED ON AND THE KEY LESS REMOTE DID NOT WORK I COULD NOT LOCK MY CAR AND NON OF THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS WORKED. I TOOK THIS PROBLEM TO VW AND THE SAID THAT I NEEDED TO MAKE AN APPONTMENT BEFORE THEY WOULD HELP ME. SO I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND MAKE MY APPT. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIXED HOWEVER OCCASIONALY THE BRAKE LIGHTS STILL STAY STUCK ON. THIS WAS ALSO NOTED TO VW. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A RATTLE IN MY CLUTCH. I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO TAKE MY CAR ON A TEST DRIVE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP (?). SO I DID AND SHE STATED SHE DID NOT HERE ANYTHING AND I TOLD HERE THAT WHEN I TAKE THE CLUTCH OUT IT DOES RATTLES VERY LOUD BUT WHEN I PUSH THE CLUTCH IN THE RATTLE STOPS. CUSTOMER SERVICE REP STATED SINCE SHE DID NOT HERE THIS SHE COULD NOT LET THE ACTUAL TECH LOOK AT IT. I DEMANDED THE TECH TO LOOK AT IT. FINALLY THE TECH AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD ME I HAD A RATTLE IN MY CLUTCH DUE TO MY BALD TIRES.???? SINCE I DID NEED NEW TIRES, I REPLACED ALL 4. MY CLUTCH STILL RATTLED. (SHOCKER) I THEN DECIDED TO TAKE MY VW TO ANOTHER VW SERVICE DEALER, AND THEY DETERMINED THAT THE RATTLE WAS A LOOSE HEAT PLATE. VW DEALER STATED THIS WAS FIXED. THE NEXT DAY THIS RATTLE WAS STILL THERE. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR IN FOR A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES FOR THIS RATTLE. I HAVE DECIDED ON GETTING A NEW NON-VW CAR. NOT ONLY HAS THE CAR DISSAPPOINTED ME BUT THE SERVCIE POEPLE HAVE TREATED ME AND MY HUSBAND LIKE IGNORANT CONSUMERS. ON EACH OF THESE VISITS TO THE VW DEALER THEY HAVE AHD TO KEEP MY CAR FOR NUMEROUS DAYS, AND NEVER WAS I ABLE TO RECEIVE A RENTAL, WHICH RESULTED IN ME MISSING WORK AND COSTING ME MORE MONEY.*MB*
