For the second time in 3 years, my rear windshield has completely shattered without warning. The car was parked in the driveway. When I got in, I heard a loud pop. I looked back and saw that the rear windshield had completely shattered. I had not yet started the car. The first time that it happened 3 years ago, I was sitting at a red light and it shattered. The kids were in the car the first time and got glass on them.

So inside of my vehicle I am unable to open my trunk by flipping the trunk switch. My left passenger door is unable to function properly. The windows won't toll down, the door is unable to lock and it's stressful because my car got broken into because of it. My right mirror turn signal doesn't function any more when I signal right it signals really fast and it's only signals using my headlight and tail light signals. Sometimes there is a kick to my car when I'm driving and in a couple of occasion when I start my vehicle my car revs up on it's own. Just a bunch of issues it's stressful..

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.

First noticed that the sunroof on my '06 jetta tdi would intermittently open and (sometimes) close on it's own. Since then my door locks no longer function on the drivers side front and rear doors. I cannot use the key to lock all of the doors and activate the car alarm. The rear driver side door never locks even with the key and cannot be opened from the inside by the passenger. The alarm system will not engage and the rear windows will only operate from the driver's door. Initially these issues would come and go but have now become a continuous problem. The car cannot be secured. These issues pose a safety hazard to my family and my personal property. I was planning on passing the car down to my son when he becomes old enough to drive (in 2 years) however with these issues I do not trust the safety of this vehicle. After researching the complaints in this database I am shocked that vw has not been made to fix the problem under a recall. This is a common, recurring problem that needs to be addresses by the manufacturer.

Window on driver side sometimes are inoperative. This can be because of wires inside the drivers side door are too short. Can be a problem if in an emergency my window must be rolled down. If I'm trapped, what happens if I can't roll down my window to get out! Also, ceiling headliner is coming down. Can no longer see through my rearview mirror! The headliner liner was cut too short so I can't fix it. Please help. Thank you so much.

The headliner is pulling away from the rear pillars. Being the primary driver of the vehicle I do not spend time in the back seat. My daughter is currently learning to drive so on a recent errand I was sitting in the back seat and looked up to see the headliner completely pulling away and coming down from the roof of the car and dome light. When I got back home, I did some internet research and found a multitude of websites, forums, etc. With people experiencing the same issue. Here are just a few of the addresses that I found: http://www.carcomplaints.com/volkswagen/jetta/2006/accessories-interior/headliner_separating_from_ceiling.shtml http://rich-blog.blogspot.com/2010/10/2006-volkswagen-jetta-tdi-headliner-problems.html http://forums.volkswagenvortex.com/showthread.php?5104886-sagging-falling-headliner-warranty-success-stories-please http://www.cars-guide.com/volkswagen-forum/2006-volkswagen-jetta-headliner-t4941.html additionally, I personally know another 2006 jetta owner in schenectady, ny with the exact same issue. As the headliner falls, it is creating a visual distraction as well as impairing my field of vision to the rear of the vehicle.
