FRONT BUMPER IS WAY TOO LOW AND SCRAPS AND GETS CAUGHT ON CURBS. THIS CAN RESULT IN THE WHOLE FRONT BUMPER COMING OFF. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT FOR FREE. NOW THEY JUST SAY WATCH HOW YOU PARK. THE TROUBLE IS, YOU CANT'S TELL WHEN YOU DRIVE OVER A CURB, ONLY WHEN BACKING OUT, DOES THE BUMPER CATCH AND PULL OFF. THIS IS A DEFECT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD FIX, ESPECIALLY SINCE I KNOW MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN MEXICO. *TR

Seat Belts
08/01/2007
THE REAR MIDDLE SHOULDER BELT OF MY 1999 JETTA IS CONSTANTLY BROKEN. EVERY TIME I FOLD THE MIDDLE SEAT DOWN IN THE BACK THE SEATBELT GETS TIGHTER AND TIGHTER AND TIGHTER. THIS HAPPENS UNTIL EVENTUALLY THE BELT IS TOO TIGHT FOR ME TO EVEN FOLD THE SEAT DOWN ANY LONGER AND I HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO BE WORKED ON. APPARENTLY IT IS SOME "BUTTON" THAT IS BREAKING. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO FOLD THE SEAT DOWN AND AS A RESULT I AM NOT ABLE TO SAFELY SECURE PASSENGERS IN MY MIDDLE SEAT. SO FAR I HAVE HAD THIS BUTTON REPLACED 3 TIMES. *JB

ABOUT EVERY 2,000 MILES, THE ENGINE IN MY 1999 MK IV VOLKSWAGEN JETTA STARTS TICKING, AND I CHECK MY OIL, AND IM A QUART LOW. EVERYTIME. THE ENGINE QUALITY IS STEADILY DECLINING. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO REPAIR THIS BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY, NOR DO I TRUST MECHANICS WITH THE CAR. *TR
