ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTS TO BEEP AND THE ABS LIGHT, EPC LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT, AND SKID CONTROL LIGHT SHOW. THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES LOSES THE SPEEDOMETER READING WHICH DROPS TO 0. THIS SPORADICALLY HAPPENS, SOMETIMES IT'LL STAY FOR DAYS AND OTHER TIMES IT'LL GO AWAY AFTER 10 MINUTES AND NOT APPEAR AGAIN FOR A DAY OR TWO. IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. IT HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION AND WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE SINCE THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONS AND IN THE SNOW THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO HANDLE WORSE THAN USUAL AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT KICK IN EVERY TIME. THE ABS MODULE SEEMS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
WATER INFILTRATION: THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION SUIT WON AGAINST VW FOR WATER INFILTRATION FOR MODEL YEARS THROUGH 2009, WHICH FILED BEFORE THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. MINE IS A 2010, BUT MANUFACTURED IN 2009. I NOW HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, BUT HAVEN'T FOUND ANY EVIDENCE A NEW CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS BROUGHT OR THAT THE COMPANY HAS VOLUNTARILY RECALLED THE VEHICLES FOR CORRECTION. THIS PROBLEM HAS RESULTED IN MY CAR TAKING IN ENOUGH WATER TO CREATE A 2" DEEP PUDDLE WHERE THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER PUT THEIR LEGS. WHILE I THOUGHT I HAD EXTRACTED ALL WATER AND DRIED OUT THE CAR, I RETURNED 3 WEEKS LATER TO FIND THE INTERIOR COMPLETELY COVERED WITH MOLD/MILDEW, WHICH CREATES A HEALTH HAZARD FOR MOST, AND PARTICULARLY ME SINCE I HAVE ALLERGIES TO SOME MOLDS. THE VEHICLE IS NOW PRETTY MUCH A TOTAL LOSS, AND IS VALUED AT $8000 - WHICH A RETIREE SUCH AS MYSELF CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE. MY AUTO INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER THIS LOSS. THE COURT CASE IS: JOHN DEWEY, JACQUELINE DELGUERCIO, ET AL V. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC. ET AL. CASE NOS. 07-CV-2249-FSH-PS AND 07-CV-2361-FSH-PS (CONSOLIDATED)) THE FINAL DECISION WAS IN 2014, JOHN DEWEY, JACQUELINE DELGUERCIO, ET AL V. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC. ET AL. CASE NOS. 07-CV-2249-FSH-PS AND 07-CV-2361-FSH-PS (CONSOLIDATED)).

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF THE THROTTLE BECOMING INOPERATIVE RESULTING IN NO-POWER (IDLE POWER STRICTLY SPEAKING) CONDITIONS. THAT CONDITION IS CLEARED WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED AND RELEASED. RECENTLY THERE WAS AN INSTANCE OF UNCOMMANDED ACCELERATION: INSTEAD OF NO POWER, FULL POWER WAS APPLIED BY THE ENGINE. AGAIN CYCLING THE CLUTCH CLEARED THE CONDITION. THE NO-POWER CASES APPEARED MORE LIKELY IN URBAN DRIVING AND SOON AFTER A TRANSMISSION SHIFT BUT DID OCCUR UNDER ALMOST ANY CONDITIONS. THE FULL-POWER CASE OCCURRED ONCE, CLIMBING A HILL AT ~2800' ALTITUDE. THE POWER FAIL OCCURRED AS EARLY AS 34K MILES, AND CONTINUED WITH VW'S KNOWLEDGE UNTIL ~72K MILES, WHEN VW OF AMERICA TECHNICIANS FINALLY DID SOMETHING TO END IT. THOSE SYMPTOMS STARTED RECURRING AT ~270K MILES. THE ACCELERATION INCIDENT OCCURRED AT ABOUT 275K MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE; IT WILL BE SENT TO A SALVAGE YARD IF THE NTSB IS NOT INTERESTED IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHILE RECENTLY DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE GEAR INDICATOR IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO FLASH AND THEN DISAPPEARED, NO LONGER REVEALING WHAT GEAR THE CAR WAS IN WHILE IN FORWARD MOTION, AND CAR BEGAN TO LOSE MOMENTUM WHILE DRIVING AND BEGAN SOUNDING AND MOVING AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL. UPON STOPPING THE CAR AND AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE CAR ENGINE REVVED AS THOUGH IN NEUTRAL. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHERE THEY DROVE IT AND MENTIONED THE WIRING HARNESS LEAKING OIL/FLUID. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR AT THE DEALER 4 TIMES WITHIN A 6 MONTH PERIOD (MAY-NOV 2016) FOR PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, AS I KEEP THIS CAR IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAVE IT CHECKED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO PREVENT ISSUES FROM OCCURRING. DURING ALL THESE TIMES I HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL NOW, AS AGAIN, I WORK VERY HARD TO MAINTAIN THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SINCE DONE MUCH RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH OTHER VW OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPRESSED HAVING VERY SIMILAR ISSUES WHICH FALLS IN LINE WITH THE ISSUED RECALL ANNOUNCED AUGUST 20, 2009. I HAVE RECORDS OF ALL SERVICE I HAVE HAD DONE FOR THIS AUTOMOBILE SINCE IT'S PURCHASE. I CAN EITHER MAIL OR FAX THE INFORMATION TO YOU FOR REVIEW. THANK YOU! *TR

IAM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE ALWAYS KEPT MY JETTA IN THE GARAGE. I MOVED 3 AND A HALF YEARS AGO AND MY CAR IS NO LONGER GARAGED. MY HEADLINE IS STARTING TO DETACH FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND THE LEATHER THROUGHOUT MY CAR IS CRACKING. I NOTICED THERE WAS A CLASSSS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THE SUNROOF DRAIN GETTING CLOGGED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CAR. WHO CAN I CONTACT TO SEE IF I QUALIFY FOR THIS ACTION. AT THE TIME OF THE RECALL I DID TAKE MY JETTA TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE, IS THIS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS GARAGED AND NOW ITS OUTSIDE EXPOSED TO THE ELEMETS, WHICH HAS CAUSED THIS DAMAGE?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM UNABLE TO CARRY REAR PASSENGERS (ADULTS OR KIDS) AS THE REAR DOOR DO NOT OPERATE CONSISTENTLY.I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. DEALER WANTS A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPLACE TWO REAR WIRING HARNESS AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONIC DOOR ACTUATORS. THIS SEEMS TO BE IMPROPER LACK IN THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE REAR DOORS. I HAVE NEVER HAD SO MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE IS SHORT A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS SO THAT NOBODY IS INJURED FORM A DOOR THAT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE, INCONSTANTLY. I WILL HOLD BOTH NHTSA AS WELL AS VW IF A TRAGIC EVENT DOES UNFORTUNATELY DOES OCCUR. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN POSTED NUMEROUS TIME IN VE FORMUS. MY JETTA TDI HAS 156K MILES, AND IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO WEATHER OR TIME OF DAY. THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM THAT DOES NOT EVER GO AWAY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MAJOR SAFETY CONSERN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUT OF THE BLUE THE PREMIUM 8 TOUCH SCREEN RADIO STOPPED WORKING, NO WARNING OR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS, PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. I HAD A MECHANIC CHECK THE RADIO FUSES AND NOTHING WAS BLOWN OR NEEDED REPAIR. EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ON VW FORUMS. EVEN THOUGH THIS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE IT IS STILL COMPONENT, MUCH LIKE WINDSHIELD WIPERS THAT OU JUST EXPECT TO WORK. TIME IN THE VW FORUMS. THIS NEEDS TO BE PLACED/FIXED. I NEVER HAVE HAD A RADIO FAIL IN ANY PREVIOUS CAR. I AM REALLY REGRETING MY PURCHASE OF THIS SUB-PAR, POORLY ENGINERED VEHICAL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHEN COLD, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WON'T WORK UNTIL IT WARMS UP ENOUGH. IF YOUR DRIVING AND IT GETS COLD, LIKE DURING SNOWSTORM, THEY QUIT WORKING. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE ENCOUNTERED MANY INSTANCES OF THIS. THE COST IS AROUND $500 TO $1000 FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR..., MAYBE THE MOTOR, MAYBE THE WIPER TRANSMISSION, MAYBE BOTH. NONSENSE! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING AND ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLES OVER MANY YEAR MODELS. JUST DO AN ONLINE SEARCH FOR WINDSHIELD WIPER PROBLEMS AND NARROW THE RESULTS TO WIPERS WON'T WORK WHEN ITS COLD. DEALER SAYS WE'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THAT. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT IF THEY KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE. PLEASE HELP. PEOPLE ARE IN DANGER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I FIRST STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON MY VW JETTA IN DECEMBER 2015. THE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK USING THE KEY REMOTE. I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS BY PUSHING THE KEY INTO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IN ORDER TO GET A BEEP SOUND AND FLASHING INDICATORS TO CONFIRM THAT ALL THE DOORS ARE LOCKED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE VW DEALERSHIP WHICH COST $480 TO FIXED ONE DOOR. ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AFTER FIXING THE DOOR, SOMEONE BROKE INTO THE CAR WHICH I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK ALSO FAILED AND WASN'T WORKING. THE DIFFERENCE THIS TIME WAS, MANUALLY USING THE KEY WOULD ONLY LOCK THREE DOORS (2 FRONT DOOR AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR, WHICH I HAD FIXED PRIOR TO THE SECOND FAILURE). I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $480 TO GET IT FIXED. ABOUT A MONTHS AFTER THE SECOND FAILURE, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK STOP WORKING WHICH COST ME ANOTHER $480. CURRENTLY, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK IS NOT WORKING. I ASKED THE VOLKSWAGEN SERVICE ADVISOR IF VOLKSWAGEN IS GOING TO OR PLANNING ON CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM AND THE ANSWER I GOT WAS 'NO, IT'S NOT A SAFETY ISSUE.' WHY DO CAR DOORS LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHILE DRIVING? COULD IT SOMEWHAT BE FOR SAFETY REASON? WHEN ONE OF THE DOOR LOCK FAILS, THE CAR DOORS ARE NOT LOCKED WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM WITH MOST OF THE VOLKSWAGEN MODELS. DOES VOLKSWAGEN CARES? COULD THIS BE DANGEROUS FOR A CHILD OR ADULT IN THE BACK/FRONT SEAT OF A CAR DRIVING AROUND WITH UNLOCK DOORS? PLEASE, PLEASE I'M CRYING FOR HELP! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE'S VIN REPORT SHOWS NO OPEN RECALLS. YET I SMELL FUEL IN THE CABIN AND HAVE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SEEN EVIDENCE OF FUEL LEAKED ON THE GROUND. OTHER 2015 JETTAS DO HAVE RECALLS FOR A FUEL RAIL LEAK. MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. I ASK YOU TO INCLUDE IT IN THE EXISTING SAFETY RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM VW OF AMERICA. AS INDICATED IN LETTER, I'VE EXPERIENCED REFUELING ISSUES; I TRIED TO CONTACT SERRAMONTE VW FOR SERVICE. NOT ONLY WAS I UNSUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THROUGH TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEIR WEBPAGE FOR INITIATING SERVICE REQUESTS IS CURRENTLY INACTIVE. HOPING YOU WILL NOTIFY SERRAMONTE VW TO BE ACCESSIBLE SO AS TO RESPOND TO SAFETY RECALLS. THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE BUT THERE ARE LIKELY OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE OF GETTING IN TOUCH WITH SERRAMONTE VW. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD NOT BE SO BUSY AS TO NOT RECEIVE PHONE CALLS.

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
WIFE WENT OUTSIDE TO START HER TDI AND AFTER SITTING AND MAKING NO PROGRESS IN WARMING AND SMELLING A LOT OF UN-BURNT DIESEL SHE DECIDED TO SHUT IT OFF. AFTER SHE CAME INSIDE AND TOLD ME IT WAS NOT WARMING UP AND IT SEEMED TO BE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL VERY QUICKLY I WENT OUTSIDE TO CHECK IT OUT. I COULD SEE THAT DIESEL HAD LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND, SO I OPENED THE HOOD AND FUEL WAS DRIPPING FROM THE ENGINE MOUNTED FUEL PUMP. I LEFT IT OVERNIGHT AT THIS POINT TO MAKE SURE NO FIRES WHERE STARTED. THE NEXT MORNING I TOOK IT APART TO FIND OUT WHAT THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AND AFTER REMOVING THE PUMP, ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL, AND RUBBER LINES I SAW THE END OF THE PUMP HAD POPPED OUT OF ITS CRIMPED ALUMINUM CASE. THIS WAS ALLOWING DIESEL TO LEAK PAST THE RUNNING ELECTRIC PUMP AND ONTO THE RUNNING ENGINE WHICH AT THE POINT OF TURNING IT OFF HAD COVERED THE ENTIRE SERPENTINE SIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY IN FUEL. IT WAS A BOSCH PART #1K0 906 098A WE HAVE CONTACTED VW ABOUT THIS AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE IN EITHER OFFERING TO INVESTIGATE THE LEAK OR EXPEDITING THE BUYBACK PROCESS TO REMOVE THIS VEHICLE FROM THE ROADS AND MY DRIVEWAY KNOWING THAT IT LEAKED FUEL. VW DID ACKNOWLEDGE A PRIOR RECALL ON A RUBBER FUEL SUPPLY LINE HAD BEEN PERFORMED BEFORE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. *TR
