Car Problems

The list is long, but my VW Jetta, which was faithful until my purchase of the lease and subsequent car accident a week later (not my fault), is in the shop with another hefty bill.

I'm not taking care of everything, just the door latch (because it runs down my battery) and the battery.

Everything (ecept the battery) is unrelated and they just all chose to fail at once. Shotty parts I would say. Bad wiring.

I’ve called my trusty non-dealer car guys and they say I am pretty much stuck with the dealer. There is no other place to go.

To get everything fixed it will cost $1930 before tax.

Everything is unrelated. Nothing caused anything else to happen (outside of the battery)

Everything that is currently wrong will eventually fail causing me to have car problems.

I am only having the driver’s side door latch replaced as well as the battery and key battery. That will be 420+192+40 plus tax. ($652)

The airbag warning light has a short in the wiring harness. They most likely won’t deploy on impact on the passenger side. ($190)

The check engine light has several faults: ($750)

• A mass airflow problem. Not sure what that means
• Power supply relay can cause the car to start hard, not perform well
• Wiring harness has bad connectors

Blinkers need to be replaced. Eventually they will fail and I won’t have blinkers. ($320) (I will worry about that when the time comes)

They don’t want to diagnose the rear door lock until they fix the battery and driver’s door latch. They think that may fix it, but I am not so sure as that wasn’t working before these other problems.

There is also a license plate light out, but I can replace that.
