Off Topic MKIV Jetta Question

[cgrossi at dwc.edu (Christopher Grossi)]

The warranty company is actually volkswagen. The car was a CPO vehicle which
is a certified preowned car. Was inspected by them using their criteria, yet
they don't want to cover this item even though the warranty is bumper to
bumper for 2 years or 24,000 miles. Both of which I am still under. I got to
say the Roc gave me far less headaches. Maybe it's time to go back. Save the
$232 a month I am paying on the Jetta and put some pieces on the older one.
