Complaint: I have a 1999 Jetta 2.0 that I purchased new in January 1999 at Prestige Imports, Santa Rosa California. This vehicle has been a problem from the start. The first problem was a yellow leaking substance coming from all doors via the leak holes designed to let the rain out. I was told by the dealership that this is a substance called “cosmoline”” a rust inhibitor and it will clear up (Note: a rust inhibitor that clears up
