Power Window Devices And Controls
Drivers side door. Window fell suddenly, dropping into door. Already happened to passenger side door year before. The car is a 2000 vw jetta. This sounds like a recurring problem with vw's. How does a recall happen? How many times does it take to get a recall? *tr

My drivers side power window regulator failed, causing the window to fall down into the door. This required driving home for several miles in weather approaching zero degrees. This is a very common problem with vw's, as the same thing has happened to my mom's vw beetle (1999). *jb

Bought the car in 2000. 3 months after that i had brought the car to a carwash (handwash) no waxing was done. The next day, there were spots on the hood of my car. The clear coat had come off. I took it to the dealer in sunnyvale, ca and he said it was the carwash companies fault. They had left the car out side with wax on it. I had no proof that the car wasn't waxed, but i did not pay for it. The next problem…

Transmission failed. The dealer replaced the part. However, two weeks later the part failed again. *ak the vehicle would not go into reverse. The transmission slipped and the vehicle had run into a pole at a gas station on the right front side. This problem remained the same. The engine light had come on along with the transmission problems. Other problems were: the tire pressure had to be reset on numerous…

Numerous window regulator issues, one total replacement. Some actions must be taken, this is very expensive and most likely an easy remedy at the factory. There should be a recall on window regulators!*ak

2000 jetta (vw) 2 weeks ago my passenger side window broke and bought new regulator and had fixed. Today my drivers side window broke. 60k on vehicle and i think this is absurd. Vw should recall all units manufactured with this regulator. I will be going to dealership tommorow to see what they say.*ak

I've had my car for four years now and this is the fourth time that the driver's/passenger's windows have come out of alignment i've already had each side replaced at least once and i cannot believe this is happening again. Each time, it costs me at least $300 to have this fixed and frankly, it's getting old. There must be some defect with the parts or otherwise, i wouldn't have to replace the motor every other day…

I thought my first new car purchase (a 2000 jetta vr6 gls) was a lemon. I, like many others, have experienced several problems. Problems such as: - rear cup holders broken - middle/rear seatbelt locked, cannot be used - 02 sensors both replaced since mil light kept illuminating - mas sensor replaced (and later recalled) - both front windows have fallen to the "black hole" (and later recalled; including a recall to…

When raising the passenger side window up, glass drops into door panel and will not come up. Makes loud grinding noise when pressing button to raise window. Dealership replaces window assembly and says they "goodwill" it to me with no charge - even though this was still under warranty and i should not have been charged in the first place. Dealership does not have part in stock and i have to drive with a trashbag…

When opening the r/f poweer window the window made a strange sound and then the window fell to the bottom of the inside of the door and would not go up. Cannot close the window and the part is on back order. Contacted vw customer service and they said that since the car is over the milage (even though it is within the 24 month warranty) they would only partially reimburse me.*ak

From what i have seen and heard, this is a too familiar problem with late model volkswagens. The window made a strange clicking sound and then the window fell all of the way into the door unexpectedly. Apparently volkswagen is aware of the problem and has re-engineered the part. If this is the case, why are they not required to issue a recall for this item and repair/replace at no cost to the owner. I would consider…

Vehicle was moving at approximately 30mph when i tried to roll the passenger side window down. There was a clicking noise, followed by the window dropping rapidly into the door. It would not go back up. The service department at the dealership stated that they see this often, and that the regulator cable was stripped. The cost of repair was $430, and vw of america refuses to cover this because my warranty is over.…

Both front windows on my jetta fell down into the door while driving down the road. The window was up and without me touching any controls it just fell into the door. Both front doors fell within 1 week of each other. I am concerned about this happening when a family member is traveling the roads of this rural community. We get snow in october that lasts through may. If we get caught out in a snow storm and the…
