2002 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T 1.8T from North America
Summary:
Very unreliable car. Not safe.
Faults:
Seat heater burned through the seat and through my clothes.
Window clip melted.
Ignition coils went bad (3 times).
Engine light comes on repeatedly for misc. maintenance problems.
General Comments:
I will never own another Volkswagen.
Very unreliable.
My Geo had 100,000 miles on it with only 2 problems. My Jetta has 39,000 miles on it and it has been in the shop 10+ times.

Did it ever occur to you to turn off the seat heater somewhere between the time it burned through the seat and before it burned through your clothes?
Didn't the smell of burning leather or the smoke give you a clue that there was a problem?
