2001 Volkswagen Jetta from North America
Summary:
Unreliable and expensive
Faults:
Most sensors are low reliability and go bad frequently.
Also associated software is defective in cam shaft speed sensing and control, catalytic converter, transmission control, and comfort control areas.
General Comments:
Most frustrating of all is to find rude VW dealers very busy repairing than selling. Not a good sign. Overall you pay a lot of money for the UNreliable VW car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Timing belt should have been replaced at 60k miles. No wonder it blew. Sounds like the maintenance was neglected on the car. I have 282k miles on my 01 Jetta TDI that has had no real problems. I keep up on its maintenance though.
