Since 2009, my '01 TDI Beetle has bad mirror heaters, bad passenger mirror adjustment, broken dash vent, both door pulls broken, seatbelt switch is bad so airbag light is always on, glowplug harness (glowplugs, relay good) so CEL is always on, driver power lock won't come up, have to use the key to open, unlock before locking so it pulls down, driver power window is slow, will not work below 50F, and loses its mind in rain, intermittent wiper delay unpredictable in rain. Oh, the driver side visor light will not go off.

That's about it. I don't even bother trying to fix these things, they would nickel and dime me, and just break again. To replace the door pulls, I'd have to buy a whole new door panel for $330 each. At least it is reliable, so far, or I'd sell it for scrap.
