Car was taken into dealership in april 2015 for inspection. Needed new struts and driver door panel, door needed fixed due to no lights on locks and door itself would not lock. Paid $1400 for everything when picking up the car, got in car and radio did not work when picking up. Said it was a fuse, never fixed the problem. September 2015 windshield wipers quit working. $45 for that repair. 2-3 weeks later battery died. Replaced the battery for $111. 3-4 weeks later battery was dead again, had to tow it to shop. Replaced battery again $200+ parts and labor. 3-4 weeks later after replacing the battery twice, same thing happens again. Car is dead, towed to shop again. Can't figure out the problem, towed to dealership. Taken to a dealership for one problem of the car being dead now there is a shifter problem and the ABS unit needs replaced. The ABS lights were not on while the car was at the last shop before this dealership. The car hasn't been driven for approximately 5-6 months if not longer due to these issues. How does my ABS unit need replaced if it hasn't been driven?

I purchased a 2010 vw jetta just over a year ago at this point. I loved it at first, it's a clean diesel. Within 3-4 months of owning it the stereo has gone out. Vw has chosen to ignore this issue even though it's a known issue! It's draining batteries, causing electrical and fuse issues which could lead to substantially more dangerous issues in the future. Please help those of us who are fighting this battle. It's 100s if not 1000s to get fixed and it's absolutely unreasonable.. Http://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t36009_ds552583

Sunroof drains come apart allowing water to enter automobile. Wet interior allows mold to grow inside car causing a possible health hazard. Windows steam up blocking view out of car causing dangerous driving conditions. Water drips onto electrical connectors and moisture present in car causes corroding of electrical connections increasing the possibility of an electrical malfunction and hazardous driving condition.

We were driving on a straight well paved road, no potholes or debris, the weather is clear and sunny when our sunroof exploded outward. Fedex driver following behind us stated that nothing hit us, but saw the sunroof explode outward.

The sunroof drainage system is faulty and leaks inside the car. Dealership charged me $350 to fix (not to mention that now the car smells musty) and suggested that other vw owners with my model of car have had similar problems. I am concerned that vw did not design the system properly and should fund any modifications necessary for existing car owners.

While traveling on I-96 west traveling at 70mph the sunroof which was closed at the time suddenly exploded sending shards of glass everywhere. It sounded like a gun went off in the vehicle. I was very fortunate that the sunroof curtain was closed at the time which contained most of the glass shards. This is a serious issue that should be looked into. There was nobody else on the highway around me so there is no possibility that this was a stone or object from another vehicle. The temperature outside was 92 degrees f and I had the drivers side window open approximately 50%. This was a terrible experience that I was lucky to walk away from without physical injury. However, I will not drive this car again without an explanation! Very dangerous car!!!!

Windshield washer fluid is ingested into the cabin upon activation. Failure is repeatable and consistent. Dealer says this is normal and common to all vw cars. Msds lists nose irritation, headache, fatigue, nausea, visual impairment or complete and possible blindness, acidosis, convulsions, circulatory collapse, respiratory fatigue, and death as the inhalation hazards for washer fluid.

The driver side wiper blade on this jetta is scratching the glass leaving a streak in the drivers line of sight. The blades have been replaced and the windshield replaced only to have the new windshield scratched in the drivers view. This has been looked at by several dealerships with no fix available other than replacing the windshield every few hundred miles or driving with drivers view obstructed.
