The headliner adhesive for the vehicle has come unglued and is causing the fabric to sag and prevent a clear line of sight. This is a latent safety defect. From a reasonable search on the internet it appears that many jetta owners have had the same issue, indicating a common manufacturing issue. The adhesive that was used is the same as the adhesive used on the remainder of the interior panels which are also coming…

The driver's side rear door lock does not work. It doesn't work manually or with the key fob. I am concerned about the safety of my passengers if something were to happen and they cannot exit the vehicle from the rear. Also, the inability to lock the rear door is another safety issue. I have noticed several complaints about the same problem. Does it take an actual vehicle fatality for this problem to be dealt with?

The sun roof opened to the first tilt position without any action caused by the driver or passenger. It happened again on may 17 during a slow left turn in a shopping center. My concern is that it may be electrical in nature and may affect the door locks as well. On a previous occasion, i had difficulty opening the trunk and had to use my key to open the drivers side door.

Automatic door locks won't work causing the vehicle doors to remain locked or unlocked without repair at $400 per door. If door is stuck in locked position, passengers can not exit the vehicle in an emergency. If stuck in unlocked position, vehicle can not be locked and uninvited passengers can enter the vehicle. Both are safety hazards. Issue occurs regardless if the car is stationary or in motion.

Driving up a mountain highway, the car lost all power (even with the gas pedal to the floor). Once pulled over, the vehicle wouldn't start again. The high pressure fuel pump in the tdi failed catastrophically and sent metal shrapnel throughout the entire fuel system. *tr

Shortly after purchase, car began to fill with water. Not directly from the sun roof but from a disconnected or damaged drain hose. Causing serious mold & electrical problems. Vw has reluctantly looked into the problem, replaced parts, but only made it worse. And the car is now undrivable. *tr
