Back door window regulators malfunctioned upon activation, on several occasions. The windows were rolled down to defog, and then failed when trying to close. I had to press the button several times for them to go back up. Dealer will not fix because they cannot "duplicate the problem." this is a known issue with the volkswagen dealerships and service departments, and many feel it should be recalled. They have failed on me before, and I don't want this happening when I am away from home, leaving my car vulnerable to rain or other weather damage, as well as theft and vandalism.

The driver's side window suddenly 'dropped' down into the door, leaving the window totally open with no ability to close.
On 10/2000 d/s pwr window regulator broke and window fell into door frame, car under warranty and part replaced. Was told by the service tech at dealership that there was a problem with this part failing. Six months later on 04/11/2001 the passenger side pwr window regulator broke and the window fell into the door frame. On this occasion I contaced vw since my car had just passed over the warranty period, vw took care of the problem at no cost to me. I am hoping that this same problem does not happen with the rear windows. Have been told by both vw and the dealership that this is a problem, possibly should be addressed since when the regulator breaks the noise is very frightening (sounds like a gunshot) and possibly might cause someone to have an accident.
Left and right front power windows failed, powered down the front windows and heard a loud noise, when consumer tried to roll them up noting happened.
While I was driving, the driver side window in my brand new vw jetta collapsed inside the door and broke. I could not roll up my window. When I brought the car in, they said this is very common, due to hot weather. I think a recall is in order, to replace the part that cannot handle hot weather, and alert the public. Thank you.
This is a brand new car. A person should not be expected to accept whatever problems. Dealer wishes to deliver. A person purchases a new car so that they won't have these kind of problems. I find it unacceptable that my new car has already needed a new rear window and now a new transmission. My family are past volkswagon owners and I had convinced two of my friends to by new jettas. I expect a new car...because I am paying for one!
Rt rear and left rear windows have pinch protection that activate sometimes when there is nothing in the window bloking it and I have to push the button 3 times to close it and after the second time the pinch protection turns off. ...(2) the rt front seat belt will not pull down all the time it feels like it is locked in the position you must pull hard several times to get it to work and most of the time it won't come down at all. Drivers side works fine, but pass side does not work at all sometimes. Took to dealer and it didn't happen to te service worker but the service advisor could not get it to pull down, service worker took apart and found nothing wrong, but it did not work for me that night I got it home.
