[quote=Anonymous]We are from Northern California and had a 2000 Cabrio. From day one it was nothing but problems with that car. The tie-rods would need to be replaced every year or two, the breaks lasted about 6 months at a time (no, not a crazy driver), and the knobs on the radio melted and used to leave this sticky black stuff all over your hands. Eventually the windows stopped going up and down and you had to open the door to pay at toll booths. My independent mechanic said this was a common problem for VWs though the dealer said he could never replicate the problem. Hmm... And the last night we owned the car, DH went to open the door and the door handle came completely off. (We should have kept it as a trophy.) For awhile I thought I just had a lemon, but my friend who had a Jetta had similar issues.

Holy cow!  And I almost forgot about the night we spent in the middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania because the car started shaking uncontrollably on the drive back from upstate NY.  Spent $1000 on that little repair and the mechanics still couldn't stop the shaking. (Best guess was the transmission. We got rid of the car shortly after.) We were totally broke from almost 6 months of unemployment at that point, and spent the last cash reserves we had getting the car fixed so we could get back to DC.  That was a happy Thanksgiving!

Never, never, never....[/quote]
