The worst car I have ever owned

This is the absolute worst of piece of junk car that I have ever owned or been assosicated with. VW is in real trouble if this car is any indication of their quality level. Just about everything has broken - most things have broken multiple times. I will NEVER buy another VW. Period.

I have a love hate relationship with this car. Love the way it looks, hate the way it performs. Since day one, nothing but problems, currently working with vofa to try to get it fixed (cat convert anyone?). 10 y. O., just turned 60,000 miles because I'm afraid to take it anywhere for fear I won't get there -- or back home. Cup holders, glove box hinge, arm rest: broken. Currently, bucking like a bronco. Do not buy VW.

I bought my 2000 Jetta from a dealership in April. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I have had nothing but problems and I've only had the car for 4 months! A week after I bought it, the headlights and dash board lights went out. Then about 2 weeks later my brakes starting making a horrible grinding noise. I brought it back into the dealership and they said there was nothing they could do about it because brakes were not covered under my 30 day warranty! About a month ago my brakes went out. I replaced them but my car still made the grinding noise. I brought my car back in and they told me my ABS modual went out. I plan to get rid of it as soon as I can. What a horribly built car!

This vehicle represents the biggest nightmare of my life. I should have known when the transmission failed with 3,000 miles on it that I was in big trouble. 15 major repairs including 3 transmissions later, I find myself waiting to find out why the check engine light went on this time. Volkswagen did absolutely nothing to try to reconcile the piece of garbage that they sold me, and consequently, I will never buy another product from them. I have never gone more than 4 months without needing some sort of major repairs on this car. I will never buy a Volkswagen again.

2000 JETTA = Worst Car EVER! Problems since day one, it was a lemon. Within the first year i had to have the full TRANSMISSION replaced 2 times, the trunk replaced -would not shut, the two front windows replaced. After my warrantee ended the car fell apart even more: O2 sensors malfunctioning, Wheel Speed Sensors failing, etc. Most recently I took because my ABS/Traction lights flickered on, after 6 RETURN TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP in two months + $3,900 they ?fixed? my car. They had to replace the ENTIRE ABS BREAK SYSTEM, THE MASTER BREAK CYLINDER, 2 MORE WHEEL SPEED SENSORS, A Wheel ROD, and A BALL JOINT. The car rarily WORKED!
