Volkswagen Jetta Usados en Venta en Providence, RI

While I am quite satisfied with the forty-five miles per gallon that this vehicle averages, I was quite appalled a few months back when it was announced that Volkswagen had engaged in outright fraud concerning the vehicles emissions. According to Volkswagen, the TDI engines should have all performed well within the US emission guidelines. That claim fell apart earlier.

There are several problems with these cars: the foam used in the headliner starts to fail after about 7 years, causing the fabric to sag down. Nothing short of remove and replace will fix that, and removing the headliner is a pain on these cars. It's a bit easier on a Golf). The switch for the fuel door and the switch for the trunk latch have both failed intermittently, the radiator fans, and the sunroof drain are all known point of failures. The sunroof drains were so badly designed that VW had to issue a recall- mine started dumping rain water inside the car.
