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?

I have a 2000 volkswagen jetta and within the past 2 months my driver side window just fell down into the door. There's little plastic clips that hold the window on track and they broke. But you cant buy those clips, you have to buy the whole door assembly. 2nd yesterday, oct 6th, my passenger window just fell down into the door, and again, the same thing. I search alot of vw related forums where people around the nation have the same problems and have file numerous complaints with vw and complaints with consumer affairs. Why hasn't vw issued a recall for these clips? I cant afford the outrageous prices to have both of my windows fixed so I have them taped with duck tape to hold them up. Please look into this and figure out why nothing has been done about this. One woman said she had her car in the shop 8 times and they keep breaking. You can verify this through consumer affairs. Under vw jetta categories. Please respond, I just want a dealership to fix my windows, my car doesn't have a warranty anymore. Its a 2000 model.

Most recently, the water pump failed. Apparently this is another common failure, which should be covered by a recall. Here is the list of other problems I have had: -both window regulators failed (covered by recall) -tensioner pulley on serpentine belt failed at 40000 miles ($400) -maf sensor at 47000 miles (covered by recall) -catalytic converter failed 50000 miles (covered by emissions recall) -alternator failed at 55000 miles ($450 - using rebuilt alternator) -water pump failed at 60,000 miles ($350 repair bill). The question is...what's next? I plan to sell the car within the next few months.

My power window regulator went out on my 2000 vw jetta and the window fell into the door, in looking on the internet on sites such as msn.com I have found this to be a common problem for almost every single vw owner that has internet access.

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).

I purchased a 2000 vplkswagen jetta in the year 2002, pre-owned. I have had nothing but problems with it since I bought it, and now am trading it in, and taking a $3000 loss. Here is a list of the problems I have had in the last 2 years listed from first problems to most recent: 1. Window tray broke, window fell into the door. $300 2. Trunk latch broke, had to get replaced $50 3. Sunroof broke, would not move and needed the entire thing replaced including the motor. $1800 4. Water pump leaked out all coolant, needed to be replaced $ 600 5. Strut coil snaped in half while driving, needed to replace both sides $500 6. Lastly, (this is the point when I decided to file a complaint and trade the car in for another brand) water leaking from the electrical panel on top of inside roof. Sunroof then malfunctioned, opening when the car was started and the knob was not touched. Had to pay to disconnect power sunroof. Whatever you do, please, do not buy a vw jetta. That is unless you want to have it continually in the shop and having to spend a lot of money on repairs.
