VW owners, or people who have lojack

Do you ever have a battery problem? I'm SO frustrated. My battery always dies. I drove it to upper manhattan and back on Saturday and my mom went to drive it this morning and it was dead. I mean, ***, man! It always happens. I don't know if it's a VW thing, or if lojack drains the battery? Any insight?

it's not the battery. I already repalced the battery, it didn't really help the problem.

And this is WORSE in the winter

From experience...I doubt its a VW thing. Maybe they installed a faulty lojack system or battery in your car. Chat Icon

It's not the battery. The car is 6 years old, this is the 2nd or 3rd battery.

Do you think it could be lojack?

I have no reason to believe there's anything wrong with my lojack or lojack has nything to do with it, but someone said lojack draws a lot of "juice"

I have lojack and have no battery problems in my 2004 Xterra.

ETA: my FH has a 2000 Mustang with lojack and i dont think he has replaced the battery yet

Sounds like an alternator problem.

My DH thinks you may have a problem with your alternator, unrelated to LoJack.

it definitley sounds like an isolated issue..isolated to your car Chat Icon . the only trouble i have had with the vw is how quiet the engine is. i end up trying to start the car when its already on and it makes a scary noise. Chat Icon

Alternator! Thanks. I will check it out.

If I just say "my battery keeps dying" they won't listen, but if I ask them to check the alternator, they may actually do something

VW stinks.
Me & DH had a Golf, a Jetta and a Passat in the past and we've finally learned our lessons.

NO MORE VW for us.

Battery problems for us were a regular occurance.

My car is within the range of years with known electrical problems. Chat Icon

I still love my car, and we still bought another VW.

Re: VW owners, or people who have lojack

I kept getting a dead battery..... my car guy checked it out and traced it back to a short in the trunk light.... it was staying on all the time (I'm hoping he didn't shove someone in the trunk and they told him about it Chat Icon ).

I have a VW Passat and have never had any problems with it in the 2+ years I've had it. Definitely have the alternator checked.
