I was driving to work when my 2002 voklswagen jetta hit a bump in the road/pothole and the passenger airbag went off. I got out to inspect if i hit anything since i wasn't sure because of the airbag going off.

The power windows and electronic door locks of my 2002 jetta doesn't work ? Windows won't open and doors won't lock. It has to be done manually until they stopped working for two months with no signs or any warning. Took the car to the dealership and suggested that a new comfort control center module is needed. Since the car is no longer under warranty because it had 60,000 miles on it, the part cost $300. Vw…

This car has had too many serious problems to be limited to this small space. It is clearly a lemon. These problems substantially impair the use and value of the vehicle. The car received a new transmission yesterday after we had reported 3 previous times that there it remained in reverse after shifting into drive. Each time we were told it was unreproduceable and the complaint was never noted on the work orders.…

Passenger's side front window ground to a halt then collapsed into the door frame. Window would not come back up. Dealer reports this is a known issue: the teflon guide sleeves break, especially in hot climates, and allow the window to fall into the door. Dealer will not replace other slides until they fail even though the vehicle has less than 1,300 miles on it! Dealer claims replacement parts have been redesigned…

If children are in the car when this occurs this is a major safety hazard (i have child safety windows in the back seats of my car and use them when my nephews are in the car). The car is open to theft and damage from the elements. This has been an ongoing problem with vw cars as i found out through talking to other customers. I consider this to be a safety…
