I own a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta, the car has had numerous problems, I realize the car is old and was bought as is it still should maintain to properly run. It has caused a safety hazard when the cars water pump failed while I was on the freeway doing 75mph, it started to stall I was in the far left lane, I pulled over threw heavy traffic, it was a 1000 dollar repair, I have researched the problem and found numerous complaints about a failed water pump, also, the car starts and revs at 2000 rpms or it has trouble starting, check engine light comes on frequently and cant find the problem, engine malfunctions are numerous, I feel I should have some compensation from the VW corporation and all the other owners of a VW of this year with the same issues.

There have been three instances where the same right rear brake pad have worn down before any of the other brake pad on our vehicle. At the time we had an extended warrenty and contacted the dealership and the vehicle warrenty owner through the dealership. The warrenty owner indicated that it was normal wear and tear therefore they would not cover it. We fought with the dealership about the issue but they also indicated the same thing although they commented that it was very unusual that only one side of the vehicle would have such a problem. We met another customer at the same dealership that was having the same exact issue with her vehicle and had brought it in for repair. We mentioned this to the service agent but it was again not regarded as something significant. The following year we had the same issue with that side of the vehicle again. We went to the same dealership with our compliant and showed them our repair order the year before and they did not regard it at all. We had the problem repair at pep boys because it was going to be too much at the dealership. We again had the problem a third time and by this time our extended warrenty was over and we knew the dealership would not listen so we went ahead and repaired the problem yet again. After reading the owners manual and speaking with a few friends we decided to finally report the issue to NHTSA after hearing about the tire issues with SUV's. thanks.
