| I've recently noticed that the interior trim of my Jetta is detiorating. The plastic around the gear shift, air controls, and doors has become softer and a bit sticky. It has reached the point where if you touch the surface with your nail it leaves marks. I take very good care of my vehicle and would like to drive it for a while; however, the deterioration is becoming a bit of an eye sore. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is it something VW will replace? | |

| My 2002 jetta's interior leather has started to "wrinkle" and beginning to crack on the seat corners. How do you clean and protect this leather? Anyone had good results with a certain products? Any suggestions for cleaning and taking care of leather interior? | |

Among other things wrong with my automatic 2002 1.8T Jetta (80,000 miles), the most recent is quite weird. So one day 8 months ago I'm driving on the freeway at 70mph. All of a sudden (with my foot on the gas pedal) the car starts revving instead of driving. I mean I'm coasting but the speed is going down. I take foot off gas, turn hazards on and move aside. Once pulled over, I turn engine off and on, and it's fine. Since then, that same thing has happened about 30 times. The "connection" lasts at most 5 seconds". VW can't run codes because it needs to happen when they test it. Know about Murphy's Law?? Apllies here... The other day though I was on cruise control at 70mph, and the same thing happened, and even in cruise control the speed went down (the engine stays on but it's like something cuts out) Since I was in right lane I left everything alone to see what would happen... The car got down to 60 almost and all of a sudden with a quick jerk whatever it was got connected again and the car sped up by itself to 70 wit... Any ideas? As a side note, the temperature gauge on my car goes to normal (in the middle) and by itself drops to the left (cold) back and forth several time in a day... are these two related? How can I figure out what is wrong with car??? PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

My 2005 1/2 new model Jetta, which I leased when the new model just came out, has started to emit a horrible odor. It started in July, and I recognized it to be fuel. I took it to the dealership, and they thought the smell was fuel too- they pressure tested everything, but nothing was found wrong. I have had it in 2 more times. It is almost a chemical exhaust kind of fume. Smells so bad that it gives both me and my husband a headache. After driving it for a while, you even get the odor on your clothes. We are not driving the car unless necessary and at a loss of what it is or what to do. VW claims that it is the leather. On one visit of these 3, we had them change the air filter. The smell went away for a month, and came back! Any advice or anyone having this problem- PLEASE HELP!!! VW wants us to go away- it is my second lemon of a Jetta- NEVER AGAIN!
