I leased my 2006 Jetta 2.0 in January 2006. Currently the car has stalled on me 4 times and I have had numerous failed starts. The vehicle fails to start when I use the main key and the valet key. This problem has become pretty consistent now that I have put more miles on the vehicle. I am now at 20K and its been a headache all the way. I can only be thankful that when the car stalled on me on numerous occasions that I was not in heavy traffic. The dealership says that they can not identify the problem and therefore there is nothing that can be done. Supposedly, the car starts without a problem when it is in their service bay. In addition, when I first got the vehicle, my back seat latches were broken causing the back seat to lunge forward during hard stops and turns. This made my Jetta a two passenger vehicle! also, the hazard lights and switches were malfunctioning. The front suspension or the brakes make a grinding noise or they have a loose feel, I haven't been able to put my finger on it yet. Im taking it to the dealership once again tomorrow! my steering column make a faint squeaking noise during turns, I have no idea what that problems is. In the morning after I can get the car started the engine is loud for about two minutes. The dealer fixed the latch problems but the other problems go unfixed and remain a huge mystery.

2006 Jetta gli - when seats are occupied they make a metal creaking sound upon acceleration and braking. It appears to be a weak component in (manual) seat frame. Concern: Possibility of seat frame malfunctioning during an accident. Dealer statement: Normal.

Driver's seat clicks/clunks and noticeable movement can be felt in the seat around where the seat back connects to the seat bottom on the right side. This occurs when accelerating, braking, or making turns. This started occurring for no apparent reason. Took the car to dealer - they could not reproduce the noise/movement. Waited a couple weeks, then took back to dealer. Dealer was able to verify noise and movement - they said that the seat frame bolts were not torqued to spec and tightened the seat bolts. The next day the noise and movement returned. This concerns me from a safety standpoint - I do not want the seat to come apart in the event of an accident.
