VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996 car safety problem was reported on July 21, 2000.VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY . the original volkswagen battery exploded with loud bang when ignition key was turned to the "on" position, but i had not started the car yet. initially i thought, the starter or alternator had filed, since the car would not start. since it was a friday evening, i left the car in the parking lot and getting it towed to the dealer the following monday. on sunday, i noticed some thing dripping from the engine compartment, on closer examination it was acid dripping from the battery. both sides of the battery had ripped open, with acid dripping to some of the electrical components and the engine. i removed the battery from the engine compartment and put it in a wooden box to show the same to the dealer the next day. after checking the engine functions and the charging system, the dealer concluded there was nothing wrong with the charging system and some undetermined factor caused the battery to explode. i called volkswagen to inform them of the situation and requesting them to pay for a replacement battery and other labor charges. they refused saying the warranty on battery had run out. my point is, i would have had no problem if the battery had just failed (not exploded). this battery had never failed earlier and i have never jump started this car. i strongly believe that it was a manufacturing defect and a safety concern when battery expoldes. volkswagen would not give a likely cause for the battery to explode or if there were other complaints of similar incidents from the field..Volkswagen Jetta 1996 problem was reported in BRIDGEWATER, MA.

VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996 car safety problem was reported on July 31, 2002.VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS . all four windows broke in my vw jetta gls. i bought the vehicle used, as that was what i could afford. when the first two broke, i called vw usa (not the dealership) to get an estimate on what they were going to do about it. i told them i found the technical bulletins describing the exact issue i was experiencing. they told me specifically "ma'am, we don't know what you've done to the car, therefore we can only pay for 1/2 of the cost of repair". i was furious at the suggestion that all i do all day is sit in my car and burn out the window motors. i ignored it until a few months later when the driver's side window fell into the door as i was entering the parking garage at my place of business. i called vw again and they told me there was nothing they could do since i was a 2nd owner and there was no warranty for me. i got two of the three fixed to the tune of about $900 (which was half off) and left the 3rd (in the rear) broken. now, all four windows have broken and i refuse to pay for the repair of the two remaining broken windows since it is now a 100% failure rate. 50% is unacceptable, but 100% is downright ridiculous and no consumer should have to deal with this frustration over and over again. also, i know two other jetta owners (both own 1997 models) and both of them have had at least 2 windows break. something has to be done about this issue, even for 2nd owners of this particular brand of automobiles.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3VWSA81H4TM.

VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996 car safety problem was reported on Jan 12, 2006.VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM:WINDSHIELD:HEATER CORE . on january 12, 2006, as i was driving my car at 65 mph on the highway an opaque white gas was quickly released from my heater vents and within seconds effectively turned the passenger compartment of my car into a gas chamber. the engine temperature increased after i was able to safely remove the vehicle of the highway. my car was sold with a permanent maintenance free pink vw antifreeze. the documentation that came with the car indicated that other than topping off the antifreeze periodically that no maintenance was necessary. it was determined that my heater core failed; the dealer says it failed because of lack of maintenance. if the system is maintenance free then how can a component fail because of lack of maintenance? i originally thought the vehicle had been vandalized, but the dealer differed. i was unable to find any warnings of the possibility of this occurring in service bulletins or any other vw literature. if the catastrophic failure of a heater core is possible doesn't the manufacture have a duty to warn the purchasers of its products? *nm.1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 114500 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996 car safety problem was reported on Sept 01, 2005.VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH . in late feb 2005 purchased a 1996 volkswagen jetta (which was a certified used vehicle) and in (appox) sept 2005 while driving down a packed freeway during rush hour, in the middle lane, the hood of my vehicle flew up. i was traveling about 60-65 mph and it visually looked like a piece of cardboard crumpling however the impact was so great that it cracked my windshield. i consider myself and the passengers extremely lucky that we were not injured and/or did not crash. my vehicle sustained tremendous body damage to the hood and can not shut properly and as i mention previously the windshield is cracked all the way across. i am uncertain whether or not similar vehicles to mine have had problems but i feel that this was a manufacturer defect / failure due to the fact of the safety latch malfunction. i am not 100% sure whether or not the hood was not shut completely because i did not physically check it before the incident but regardless that is why i thought safety latches were put into use on vehicle hoods to prevent such dangerous occurrences. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 95000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996 car safety problem was reported on Sept 10, 2008.VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 1996, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with STEERING . i own a 1996 vw jetta gls and my car smokes from my steering wheel column. i will be driving and out of no where white smoke pours out of the column. i thought it was because of my headlights being on but then noticed it doing it without them on. it even does it when the car is off! this i feel and my friend who has the same problem is a fire hazard and could be very dangerous to drive. i called a vw dealership and spoke to the mechanic and he told me he feared for my life and it sounds like a fire hazard or it could cause my breaks and other things on my car to fail. i could be driving down a highway at 65 and my car can just die. i have brought my car to 3 different mechanics for this problem and they all said they have no clue what it could be . in my case nothing leads up to this happening it just happens randomly at anytime with or without my lights on or blinkers being on. this is still an unknown cause but very scary, even scarier knowing its not just my car. *tr.Mileage was 102000 miles.
