Volkswagen jetta 2006 sagging headliner fabric from headliner. The separated headliner fabric creates a visibility obstruction and possibly a danger to the drivers visibility. It should be a safety issue. I contacted volkswagen customer service but was told that warranty had expired, repair would be up to me. Cost to fix it at the dealer is however over $1000. *tr

The windshield wipers failed after being stuck to the windshield. The motor did not have time to burn out as it was instantaneous when i accidentally hit the wand when starting the car. It seems as if the wipers seized immediately when experiencing the resistance from the ice. There was very little ice, in fact, i didn't even have to scrape the windshield. It is a safety concern as i was preparing to drive home…

I recently purchased a used, low mileage 2006 vw jetta and soon after i noticed the headliner began to bubble, sag, and tear away from the c-pillars i knew that this was not normal for a four-year-old car and that this could quickly turn into a safety hazard if left ignored.

This vehicle design allows for poor rear visibility in general; however, it is amplified in low light situations with the combination of high rear head rests, a glare on the back glass from the third brake light, and if you have a rear spoiler this makes for a really bad combination.

The headliner began to pull away from the inside roof around the back glass, the vanity lights in both the back and front, and is now hanging down obstructing the view from the rear view mirror. Vw service manager checked to see if vw would cover cost to fix the problem, as the car was still under the original warranty when it began to come down, and they refused. It is clearly a manufacturing defect, as the service…
