ENGINE
DURING A HEAVY RAIN, AND WHILE SLOWING TO APPROACH A STOP , MULTIPLE EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED IN THE DASH DISPLAY. LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR ADVISED TO SHUT OFF ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, GLOW PLUG INDICATOR FLASHED, AND TACHOMETER WENT TO ZERO (EVEN THOUGH ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING). I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, CHECKED OIL (LEVEL WAS FINE), BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. TOWED BACK HOME, AND 30 MINUTES LATER, ENGINE STARTED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT ANY TIME. PROBLEM RECURRED AGAIN IN HEAVY RAIN SEVERAL WEEKS LATER. EXAMINED WIRING HARNESS AND FOUND TWENTY INDIVIDUAL WEAR POINTS IN THE WIRES WHERE THE INSULATION WAS WORN ENOUGH TO EXPOSE THE COPPER STRANDS. THERE WERE NUMEROUS OTHER WEAR POINTS WITH NO COPPER VISIBLE, BUT ALL OF THE INSULATION WEAR MATCHED THE CORRUGATION OF THE RIBBING IN THE PLASTIC WIRE LOOM COVERING. CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE WEAR POINTS REVEALED THE MOST PREVALENT AND SERIOUS BARE WIRE CONDITIONS WERE IN THE AREA OF THE HARNESS SUPPORT CLAMPS. VERY CONCERNED REGARDING OTHER SIMILAR POTENTIAL WEAR PROBLEMS THAT COULD RESULT IN ENGINE FAILURE OR FIRE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BEEN TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS CLAIMING IN FOX VALLEY IL ROCKFORD IL GLENVIEW IL THAT EITHER MY MECHUNIT IS BAD/FAULTY OR DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL IS BAD/FAULTY. WAS DRIVING WHERE EITHER MY CAR WOULD SHIFT VERY ROUGH AS IF SOMEONE WHO IS VERY INEXPERIENCED WOULD LET GO OF THE CLUTCH LATE AND SHIFT HARD/ROUGH INTO 1-2-3 WITH CLICKING NOISES. CAR JUST RECENTLY SHIFTED FROM 2 TO NEUTRAL AND SCARED THE CRAPOUT OF ME. THE CAR HAS EXTREME VIBRATION AND UNCONTROLLED SHIFT PATTERNS. WAS TURNING ONTO MY STREET AND CAR WENT FROM 3-2 TO NEUTRAL WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE AND WENT INTO A SNOW BANK ON SIDE OF ROAD. WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE VOLKSWAGEN CONTACT ME TO EITHER REPLACE OR FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS OWNERS OF A 2006 VW TDI OR ANY AUTOMATIC WITH DSG MECHUNIT BEWARE AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2014, AT ABOUT 1145 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING SB I-15 IN THE NUMBER ONE LANE, IN MURRIETA, CA IN MY 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI, WITH MY CRUISE CONTROL SET AT APPROXIMATELY 77 MILES PER HOUR. WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING, A WARNING LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD (LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT) BEGAN TO FLASH AND I SIMULTANEOUSLY LOST POWER. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO MERGE OVER TO THE WINCHESTER RD. OFF RAMP. AS I SLOWED AND CAME TO A STOP, MY VEHICLE STALLED AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. I WAS STRANDED IN THE CENTER LANE OF A THREE LANE OFF RAMP WHERE NUMEROUS VEHICLES NEARLY REAR ENDED ME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED 9-1-1 FOR ASSISTANCE. AS A RESULT, A HIGHWAY PATROL UNIT ARRIVED WITHIN SEVERAL MINUTES TO PREVENT ME FROM BEING IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT. I TELEPHONED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AFTER CALLING 9-1-1 IN ORDER TO BE TOWED TO MURRIETA VOLKSWAGEN. SEVERAL HOURS LATER I RECEIVED WORD FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY FOUND NUMEROUS SHARDS OF METAL IN THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (HPFP) AND GAS LINE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD BE SUBMITTING A CLAIM TO VOLKSWAGEN IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE DAMAGES, WHICH HAVE BEEN INITIALLY QUOTED AT $4000.00. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY WOULD NEED AT LEAST A WEEK TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS ONLINE WHERE TDI OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE EXACT SAME ISSUES: FINDING SHARDS OF METAL IN THEIR FUEL FILTERS AS WELL AS EXPERIENCING A FAILURE OF THE HPFP. NO ONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE TO ENDURE THE DANGEROUS SITUATION I FOUND MYSELF IN YESTERDAY, LET ALONE THE EXPENSE I AM FACING IF VOLKSWAGEN DENIES THE CLAIM THE DEALERSHIP IS FILING ON MY BEHALF. PLEASE HELP ALL OF US. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAS NOT CORRECTED WITH THEIR TDI CLEAN DIESEL ENGINES.

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (AT SPEED) ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN MY 2010 JETTA TDI SUDDENLY STALLED. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT LOCK UP AS I WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. HOWEVER, I CONTINUED TO COAST AT SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I CONTACTED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW ME INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE INTER TURBO COOLER WAS DAMAGED DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER ? THEY HAD SEEN THIS SAME OCCURRENCE AT LEAST 4 TIMES THAT DAY ALONE. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF OWNERS IN THE US HAVE EXPERIENCED NOT BEING ABLE TO START, DIFFICULTY STARTING, AND ENGINE FAILURE TO DUE WATER BEING DRAWN INTO THE ENGINE FROM WATER CONDENSING IN THE INTERCOOLER. HTTPS://MAPS.GOOGLE.COM/MAPS/MS?MSID=207335707442566723762.0004B73A15CAE256F489F&MSA=0&IWLOC=A THIS HAS CAUSED CARS TO SUDDENLY DIE WHILE DRIVING ON PUBLIC ROADS AND HIGHWAYS WITH THE POTENTIAL OF SUDDENLY BEING HIT BY FAST APPROACHING TRAFFIC. IT ALSO SEEMS EVIDENT THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE LAST WINTER. THERE APPEARS TO BE NUMEROUS TECH BULLETINS ON THE SUBJECT. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE FROZEN. I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT BUT I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND WAITED IT OUT BUT IT KEPT HAPPENING. THE DAY BEFORE NEW YEARS EVE THEY COMPLETELY WENT OUT AND HAD TO FIND ANOTHER WAY HOME SINCE IT WAS SLEETING OUT. I GOT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND COMPLAINED TO THE MANAGER THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND TOLD ME THAT THE SWITCH NEEDED REPLACING THEY GOT THE PART IN AND REPLACED IT. THE NEXT DAY THEY STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A YEAR OLD CAR, COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. *TR

VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY
I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THIS AFTERNOON GOING 70 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY MOTHER AND I HEARD A LOUD BOOM, IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. GLASS FROM THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY COVERED US, THE FRONT SEATING AREA AND THE BACK SEAT. WE WERE THE ONLY CAR IN THE HIGHWAY, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY EXTERNAL OBJECT BEING THROWN AT MY VEHICLE AND THE SUNROOF GLASS S PUSHED UP, INDICATING THAT THE EXPLOSION HAPPENED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. I'VE READ OF SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPENING AND FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. LUCKY, I DIDN'T LOSE CONTROL AND WE WERE JUST SHAKEN UP, BUT THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ALL OF MY WINDOWS WERE UP, THE SUNROOF WAS CLOSED, THERE'S NO REASON FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN ON A CAR THAT ISN'T EVEN TWO YEARS OLD. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
2009 VW JETTA TDI UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE IT WOULD CRANK BUT WILL NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE VW DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP IN THE FUEL TANK FAILED. THE PUMP IN THE TANK WAS REPLACED AND STILL WILL NOT START. THE DEALER THEN SAID THAT THE HPFP HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ON THE ENGINE WAS BAD. THEY CHANGED THE PUMP AND STILL WILL NOT START. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. THEY CALLED THEIR TECH LINE AWAITING AN ANSWER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE ISSUE THAT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND WELL TALKED ABOUT ON THE VW TDI FORUMS. IF THIS IS THE ISSUE THE PUMPS AND ANY REPAIRS SHOULD BE WARRANTIED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AS LONG AS YOU OWN THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALER. *TR

ENGINE
THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE RAIN FOR APPROXIMATELY 90 MINUTES. I STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE SLOWLY THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING AND REQUIRED THAT THE CAR BE BROUGHT TO A FULL STOP AND THE IGNITION TURNED OFF BEFORE THE CAR COULD BE STARTED. THE CAR RAN FINE AFTER BEING RESTARTED. THIS IS THE 6TH INCIDENT OF THIS KIND THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
NOTE TO ENGINEERS INVESTIGATING 2009-2010 VW JETTA HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS: I AM A SEMI-RETIRED AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER THAT INVESTIGATES INSURANCE CLAIMS. I CURRENTLY HAVE ONE OF THESE ISSUES WITH METAL FLAKES APPEARING ON THE FILTERING SCREEN FOR THE HPFP LOCATED UNDER THE PRESSURE TRANSDUCER. OBVIOUSLY, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BUILDING FOR SOME TIME IN ORDER FOR THIS AMOUNT OF METAL FLAKES TO ACCUMULATE (VEHICLE WOULD BARELY RUN--IDLED TO DEALER). THIS IS NOT AFFECTING JUST VW'S. I SEE THE SAME ISSUE IN DODGE, GM, FORD, AUDI, AND MANY OTHER MODELS. THE PROBLEM LIES WITH THE ULTRA-LOW SULFUR FUEL. SULFUR IS A LUBRICATING MOLECULE UNDER HIGH PRESSURE APPLICATIONS. PROBLEMS BEGAN CROPPING UP AFTER SWITCH TO ULTRA-LOW SULFUR FUEL. THE OLDER LOW-SULFUR FUEL WOULD STILL LUBRICATE. THE FIX IS TO EITHER HARDEN THE PUMP FACES TO A MUCH HIGHER DEGREE SUCH THAT NO LUBRICATION IS REQUIRED. OR, ADD A 5% MIX OF BIODIESEL TO THE PETRODIESEL TO RESTORE LUBRICITY TO FUEL. SOME ADDITIVES ALSO ACCOMPLISH THIS SAME LUBRICATING EFFECT. I HAVE NOW HANDLED AROUND 40 CASES OF DIFFERING MAKES WHERE THIS SAME ISSUE CROPS UP. HOWEVER, I ONLY SEE THE CASES WHERE AN INSURANCE CLAIM IS FILED WITH AN INSURANCE CARRIER. IN ALL CASES, I GO BACK TO THE STATION WHERE THE CUSTOMER FUELS THE VEHICLE TO OBTAIN SAMPLE. THIS IS TO RULE OUT CONTAMINATED FUEL BEING DISPENSED AT A FILLING STATION. SO FAR, NO CONTAMINATION FOUND FROM FILLING STATIONS. *TR

ENGINE
THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE FIRST RECORDED INCIDENT WAS IN MARCH OF 2013. WENT TO THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT ACTED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED OR A BAD BATTERY. LET IT SIT STARTED RAN LIKE CRAP. FOUND OUT LATER THAT THE CAR WHEN DRIVEN IN COLD TEMPERATURES ACCUMULATES WATER IN THE SYSTEM. HTTPS://DOCS.GOOGLE.COM/FILE/D/0B162-SX2NN5LUZBIDG9HCVR6NUU/EDIT?PLI=1 THATS THE VW TECH BULLETIN ON THE MATTER. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. FROM READING ONLINE THIS HAS / CAN START A FIRE BECAUSE THE STARTER OVERHEATS. SINCE THE WATER GETS INTO THE CYLINDERS IT CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE. VW DID NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT IN BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM. SAID I MUST HAVE KILLED THE BATTERY BY LEAVING SOMETHING ON. SINCE THAN IT HAS HAPPENED 4 MORE TIMES I CAN RELATE TO THE CONDITION. IT IS IN THE DEALERSHIP NOW BECAUSE OF IT. THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO REPEAT AND MAY NOT PROVIDE A FIX (ALTHOUGH THE GIVEN FIX DOES NOT 100% FIX IT I WAS TOLD BY A TECH.) *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING THE 2011 VW JETTA ON 1/5/14 DURING RAIN SHOWERS I SWITCHED THE WIPERS ON (WHICH I HAD PREVIOUSLY USED APROX 5 MINS BEFORE) & NOTHING HAPPENED, THEN I REALIZED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING INCLUDING THE HAZARD FLASHERS.. UPON REACHING MY HOME AT REDUCED SPEEDS IN ORDER TO SAFELY MAKE IT HOME I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE NEEDED REPAIR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, THINKING THE ISSUE WAS A BLOWN FUSE, BUT AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION NO BLOWN FUSES ARE PRESENT & AT THE CURRENT TIME VW SERVICE DEPT. DENIES THAT ANY PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS FAULTY & ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS STILL CURRENTLY NOT FIXED. ALONG WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS SUCH AS THE POWER WINDOWS & DOOR LOCKS NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION THE VEHICLE WILL NOT CRANK & START USING THE IGNITION SWITCH. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT VW NEEDS TO ADDRESS & OFFER A RECALL BEFORE SUCH A MALFUNCTION RESULTS IN A FATAL INCIDENT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO CLEARLY SEE THE ROADWAY DURING RAINY CONDITIONS. *TR

THE TIRE WAS REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE OF $177.01 WITH AN ODOMETER READING OF 27293 ON A 2011 VW JETTA TDI. ON JANUARY 4, 2014, THE OWNER NOTICED A LARGE CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE'S SIDEWALL. THE OWNER CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND NO RECALLS WERE CURRENTLY IN PLACE. THE OWNER SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR HANKOOK TO PAY FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF ALL TIRE REPLACEMENTS AS THE OWNER FEELS THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH A POTENTIAL TIRE BLOWOUT AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. *TR
