Jetta 3.2L

  • Manual transmission
  • 58,000 miles

I have had this Jetta for less than a year and it has been in the shop more than it has been in my driveway. We were on our way back from Missouri to North Carolina when our car decided it didn't feel like working anymore. No warning we turned off on an exit and all of the warning lights came on and the car had no power. We were stranded in Tennessee.

We have the best extended warranty on our car turns out that VW had put out bulletins to have this problem fixed all of these cars need the computers reprogrammed but nothing can be done until you break down. We always have our car serviced at the dealership and keep up with the maintenance as a matter of fact it was in for service the day before we went on the trip. Turns out that having the problems fixed with the computer is not covered imagine that! Now our wonderful warranty is supposed to have our car shipped back, they just dont know when and I'm left without a car. Don't buy a Jetta!!
