2000 Volkswagen Jetta Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“The car transmission stalled about 4 times. Each time (4 time) I took the car to the vw dealership and they could not identify the problem. Then the car broke down. I took it back to the vw dealership then the dealership identified it as a transmission problem. The cost to repair the car is $4000. Also, no other dealership or auto repair shop has serviced this car except miller vw.”

“The entire clutch assembly in my 2000 Jetta 2.0l needed to be replaced after 2 years of owning the new vehicle at 17,000 miles.

Today at 24,000 miles the clutch assembly blew out again and I still have not herd from the dealer.”

Stop coolant low would always appear on my dash, however the coolant would be filled. The engine light also stayed on. The mechanic did all he could to fix it. Six months later, today, I'm having the same issue with this vehicle. …”

“My first and second gears have been sporadically grinding ever since I bought the car. Three times they refused to fix it because they haven't heard it. Fourth time they heard it, but wouldn't fix it because they didn't hear it when I returned for the service.”

The cost of repairs to date are approx. $5,200 & I only paid $4,995 for the vehicle. …”
