Volkswagen Jetta 2001 Complaint

Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING : EXHAUST SYSTEM

TOWSON , MD

Consumer Complaint:
BACK BRAKES AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2001 JETTA GLX V6 WHICH WAS PURCHASED 08/01. I ONLY HAD 23,000 MILES ON THE CAR! AT MY 20,000 MILE SERVICE NO PROBLEMS WERE MENTIONED. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TOO. I HAD TO HAVE MY O2 SENSOR REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE BRAKES. I DO NOT RIDE THE BRAKES. 1 MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I NOTICED THAT WHEN I START IT IN THE MORNING IT MAKES A SOUND LIKE AND OLD JUNKY CAR WOULD. I HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS AND THEY SAID ITS NOTHING AND THAT'S THE WAY A V6 SOUNDS! IT ONLY DOES IT ON THE FIRST START OF THE DAY. I AM AFRAID IT WILL END UP BEING SOME VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. 9 MONTHS AFTER I HAD THE CAR THE ARM REST CAME APART AND HAD TO BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER VOLKSWAGEN AGAIN AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO MY FRIENDS WHO ARE MD'S AND RN'S AND CAN AFFORD NICE CARS. *JB
