    The window regulator broke on my front, passenger-side window. Based on the large number of consumer complaints as well as other information, i have reason to believe that the window regulator is defective. Vw has not issued a recall on this part and has refused to pay for the replacement of the regulator in my vehicle. I believe this is a potential safety hazard as the window regulator can suddenly fail and cause…

    For the 2nd time, the window regulator on my volkswagen jetta has broken. The first time (driver's side), i bought and replaced the regulator myself. The 2nd time (passenger side), the dealership (dirito bros in walnut creek, ca) fixed it under "good will". When i fixed it myself, i noticed no differences between the replacement part and the original. The dealer claims that they perform several window regulator…

    In both instances i returned the car to charles maund vw in austin for repair under warranty. I asked for them to check the other windows and both times they said there was nothing they could do until it breaks again. In both instances the window abruptly slid into the door when i hit the power window button once. For other examples on this please check www.vwvortex.com and go under "forums" and do a search for…

    I have been told by the local dealerships they cannot look at/repair the remaining windows until it actually fails. I have contacted volkswagen's customer care department, and they stated that "this is why cars come with warranties" and that it was my problem, not theirs. I have received terrible service from volkswagen for various other minor defects in addition.no safety defec tlisted. *ak

    I am not satisfied with my 2001 jetta. One week after i purchased the car in aug 2001 the passenger and driver side seats started to move everytime i stepped on the brake. I took it to the dealership and they said nothing was wrong. A few months later i noticed that floor padding on the back seat area (both sides) started bulging. The dealership indicated that is normal for all 2001 jettas. I have several friends…
