“My air conditioner went out on my 2000 vw Jetta. I figured it was something simple. I took it in to the dealership and they said that the compressor needed to be replaced. They said it was going to cost $1,400.00+ to fix it! I don't understand how something this major could happen on a car that is only 3 years old!”
