Although the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta has nice exterior features, it has proved to be a poor choice for buyers left with its defects, such as a poor brake system and transmission. The engine, service costs and interior features are also problematic.
According to Msn Autos, 2006 Jettas equipped with a two-liter BPY TFSI engine have poor engine performance. There are two main parts that contribute to this problem: the mechanical high-pressure fuel pump and the camshaft fuel pump drive lobe. Jetta owners should expect engine seal leaks.
Service costs are high. For example, the repair cost for the mechanical high-pressure fuel pump problem is approximately $1,500 as of 2010, and it costs approximately $500 for camshaft fuel pump drive lobe repairs.
According to ConsumerAffairs.com, interior features suffer in the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta. The paint on radio buttons peel after years of usage, the headliner or ceiling skirt may fall down in a Value Edition PZEV four-door sedan with a 2.5-liter, five-cylinder engine, and owner's experience electrical problems.
