    Passenger Back Door Won't lock

    Updates: I had two other latches failling and the fourth one just started acting up. Strange that I would have all of them fail in 4 months period.

    Driver side door switch fail

    Useful info, thank you. Somehow the latch is operating normally from the remote after doing this... I'll feel better knowing the door is lock until my next appointment.

    Driver side door switch fail

    Rear passenger latch failed just before I left for a month long road trip across the country. They replaced it the day I was leaving. Front passenger failed too after a week. The door won't unlock at the beginning and then it won't lock which is not good when the car is loaded with travel stuff...

    Looking for input on new TDI in BC

    Got mine at Maple ridge VW. I would avoid them at all cost. Got a long list of issues with their sales and service dept. I'm now going to Regency VW in Coquitlam and I'm pleased with their service so far. No imput on cold temperature but I am currently back East after a 5 days (5500km) road trip...

    Passenger Back Door Won't lock

    I had the solid red light too but not anymore since the latch was changed. Must be a sign of malfunction or the beginning of a self destruct sequence...

    Need Input on Rooftop Cargo Carrier (Thule and the like)

    Leaving tomorrow for a month long road trip (11,000km). I purchased a black Atlantis 2100 and it's sitting on crossroad 45050. I like the look and it's a perfect match to my black JSW. I did a test last week and drove around with a full load (110lbs). Here's what I have in mine : 1 Large...

    Passenger Back Door Won't lock

    So the car is back from the dealership and I was a quick fix (1.5 hour). They removed the door panel and replaced the latch assembly under warranty. Part number was 384-839-016-AP.

    Passenger Back Door Won't lock

    I learned something! I didn't know I have to pull the handle twice... never paid attention to it since I never sit in the back. I'll call my service dept tomorrow. I'm about to take my wagon on her very first 10k road trip across the country. I'll be in big trouble if I have a door that...

    Passenger Back Door Won't lock

    My girlfriend noticed today that she couldn't unlock the back passenger side door. I played with it for a while and realized that I had to pull the handle twice from the inside for it to open. Strange thing is that It won't lock either. The alarm is on (red light blinking) all the other doors...

    Sirius just doubled my fee?

    I was set to auto-renew at full price in 2 weeks from now. Thanks to you guys, I just call to say I was cancelling and they offered me the same $77 deal. They also offered me the 5 months for $20 deal but I declined. Afterwards, It would have been a even better deal but I didn't want to call...

    Anyone else frustrated that they dumbed down the Jetta?

    Maybe a good value for some, but just had the new Jetta as a loaner for two days and wow, It's quite a difference. It's a basic trim but man, it is a boring four wheeled box. I like the sound of the engine at high rev though. Can't wait to get my wagon back.

    Leaky Panoramic Sunroof

    Your story sound a lot like mine. After ongoing problems I drop the car at a new dealer this morning. They figure out the problem in a few hour. They actually replace the seal around the pano and I will be getting the car tomorrow morning after they replace my corroded puddle light in the...

    Leaky Panoramic Sunroof

    Thanks for the info. Think I started having electronic problems with the overhead console. Puddle lights don't turn on right away and are flickering. I'm having a hard time with sunroof control as well. Also the roof is now screeching like crazy. Whole lotta fun:(
