2000 Jetta problems

[feautos]

hey all...I bought a 2000 Jetta when it came out and have had a tons of issues. I still have it and it is getting up around 85000 and was wondering what issues everyone else has experienced to see if I have had similar issues. Here are a few that I have had
1) ripped front spoiler off numerous times
2) A/C light bulb turns off for a long time then turns on and will come on every now and again
3) Front windows went down and wouldn't go up...

...anyone else?

front spoilers sit a bit low...that is a problem with our cars..
the second problem, i would take the trim piece off, find the bulb and check to make sure it is sitting on the plug correctly..
the last problem, it sounds like the clips broke.. there is a recal for the window clips.. dealer should fix it for free, vw should pay for it if you had it done already and paid someone to fix it..
good luck.

I have a 2000 also with like 63,000 on it..I had the window problem..that was a recall item and I agree with the spoiler..Mine is torn up. the other problem i had was the starter went on mine like two months ago..it was coverered under extended waranty. other than the brakes don't last long on the rear. Its been great.
