FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AS I ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY, I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT I DIDN'T HAVE ANY POWER TO SPEAK OF, WHICH WAS QUITE ALARMING. THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I WAS ABLE TO GAIN ENOUGH SPEED TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, BUT I INSTANTLY TURNED ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS REALIZING THAT I COULD NOT GAIN ENOUGH SPEED TO KEEP UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, MY GLOW PLUG LIGHT CAME ON, AND I DROVE MY CAR 1 MILE TO THE NEAREST OFF RAMP. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I DROVE 1 MILE TO MY SCHEDULED DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT. I PARKED MY JETTA WITH PLANS TO ADDRESS THE MATTER AFTER MY APPOINTMENT. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR, IT WOULD NOT START, AND I CALLED AAA TO TOW MY CAR TO THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP. AS I MENTIONED, THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, AND I WAS IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK BECAUSE I LOVE MY CLEAN DIESEL, AND I HAVE ENCOURAGED 4 OTHER FRIENDS TO BUY THE EXACT SAME MODEL!!! AFTER LEAVING THE CAR AT THE VW DEALERSHIP, I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THE ISSUES PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE BOSCH HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS IN THE VW CLEAN DIESELS. HONESTLY, THIS HAS DEEPLY CHANGED HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY CAR, AND WORRIES ME GREATLY! IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS TO HAVE A CAR COMPLETELY LOSE POWER! :( FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, VW IS "SUGGESTING" THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE PUT GAS IN THEIR DIESEL ENGINES. MY HUSBAND HAS HAD A JETTA DIESEL WAGON FOR 12 YEARS AND HAS OVER 200, 000 MILES ON IT, SO WE ARE WELL VERSED IN THE USE OF DIESEL. WE HAVE NEVER PUT GASOLINE IN OUR DIESEL CARS!!! WE ARE INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY VW IS HANDLING THIS ISSUE. TO SUGGEST THAT HUNDREDS OF LOYAL, DEVOTED DIESEL FANS THAT HAVE PURCHASED THEIR CARS ARE AT FAULT IS AN ENORMOUS MISTAKE, AS IS SUGGESTING THAT CONSUMERS ARE NOT BUYING "QUALITY DIESEL." TAKE THAT UP WITH THE REFINERIES AND GAS STATIONS, VOLKSWAGEN, NOT YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI WITH DSG AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ON MANY DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE VEHICLES ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN GEAR AT LOW 0-5 MPH. THIS OCCURS MOST FREQUENTLY IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC AND OCCURS WHEN STOPPING AND ALSO PULLING AWAY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED YOU MUST TURN THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION, SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. MOST RECENTLY (43,000 MILES 8-10-2014) THE VEHICLE STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION AND I HAD TO START THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES BEFORE I COULD SAFELY PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THIS WAS STOPPED AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION IN PHILADELPHIA PA AND WAS DANGEROUS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO CVM DEALERSHIP, MECHANICSBURG, PA (CAR WAS PURCHASED AT THIS LOCATION DEC 2009) FOR SERVICES. ALL SERVICE WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON AS RECOMMENDED BY VOLKSWAGEN. THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED AND NOTED ON MY SERVICES RECORDS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, WITH NO KNOWN CAUSE AND REMEDY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD MANY TIMES THAT THERE IS NO ?SERVICE CODE? OR ?ERROR? CODE ON THE VEHICLES COMPUTER. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AS I DESCRIBED IT. I?M VERY FRUSTRATED AT THIS POINT AS I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW AND PAID FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 50,000 MILES THAT IS FAST APPROACHING. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY CAN GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION. I FEEL THIS IS SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY AND OTHERS DRIVING SIMILAR VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY CRASH SENSOR'S WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AT ALL. THIS IS CAUSING AN AIRBAG FAULT LIGHT TO BE ON IN MY CAR AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK NOW IF THE LIGHT IS ON. THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY CAR HAD THIS SAME FAULT FIXED (WITH ONLY ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THE ODO). THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OUT THERE ABOUT THESE SAME FAULTS ON THE SAME CARS (MKV JETTA, RABBIT/GTI). THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD! *TR

VEHICLE, 2009 VW SPORTWAGEN TDI, WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 40-45 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY LOST POWER. THEN THE GLOW PLUG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE MESSAGE 'ENGINE MALFUNCTION, WORKSTATION' DISPLAYED IN THE MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY ON THE DASH. LUCKILY NARROWLY AVOIDED ACCIDENT AS CAR LIMPED THROUGH INTERSECTION. DEALER NOTED THAT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS IN THE FUEL SYSTEM DUE TO PART FAILURE, PRESUMABLY THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2005.5 JETTA--VEHICLE HAS ROUGH SHIFTING BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. AS WELL AS DOWNSHIFTING. WHILE DRIVING ON A MOUNTAINSIDE, GOING 65 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED TO 3RD GEAR AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN, WITH CARS FLYING BY ME. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS UNTIL TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING DURING REGULAR ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, AS I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO LOSS OF POWER/SPEED. *TR

THE FUSE BOX MELTED CAUSING FAILURE TO MANY OF THE VEHICLES FUNCTIONS. HAD I BEEN MOVING OR IN A CRASH - I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO UNLOCK DOORS, OPEN WINDOWS ETC. THEY FUSE BOX ISSUES STARTED WITH SHORTING OUT THE HEADLIGHTS (ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE). VW REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE. I KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS AS WELL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS WELL AS OTHERS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING AFTER AN AUDIBLE DING, AND A CHECK ENGINE MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY. WAS ABLE TO RESTART WITH DIFFICULTY AND PROCEEDED ABOUT ONE BLOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE RUNNING STOPPED AGAIN. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE RESTARTED AND WAS PUSHED INTO A SERVICE STATION NEARBY. AN ATTENDANT CHECKED THE VEHICLE COMPUTER AND FOUND LOW FUEL PRESSURE. WE WERE THEN TOWED TO A VW DEALER. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS GASOLINE IN THE FUEL TANK. WE HAVE 4 MONTHS OF FUELING RECEIPTS SHOWING DIESEL PUMP WAS USED, LAST ONE TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO INCIDENT. THE FUEL TANK AT TIME OF INCIDENT WAS AT 1/4. PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THERE WERE NO SYMPTOMS OF PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
MY WIFE AND I WERE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SPORTWAGEN TDI ENGINE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD ONTO A GRASS EMBANKMENT BEFORE A SEMI TRUCK PASSED WITHIN INCHES OF DRIVER SIDE. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. WE CALLED VW ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND WERE TOWED TO THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP. UPON MECHANIC INSPECTION, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM HAD FAILED, SPECIFICALLY THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THE REPAIR REQUIRED THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM TO BE REPLACED, AS SHARDS OF BROKEN METAL AND DEBRIS CONTAMINATED THE FUEL TANK, PUMPS, LINES, FILTERS, ETC. VW AGREED TO MAKE THE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY (ESTIMATE $6K) BUT NOT WITHOUT ADVISING ME THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO "DIESEL FUEL CONTAMINATION". I WAS ADVISED TO PURCHASE FUEL FROM "REPUTABLE" DIESEL FUEL STATIONS WITHOUT BEING ASKED WHERE I BOUGHT GAS (SHELL AND GULF NEAR MY HOME). VW ASKED MECHANIC TO PULL 1 LITER FUEL SAMPLE FOR TESTING AT VW. MECHANIC REPORTS THE SAMPLE PULLED APPEARED TO BE A CLEAN DIESEL FUEL SAMPLE. HE LEFT THE SAMPLE OUT OVERNIGHT TO SETTLE AND LOOK FOR PHASE SEPARATION OF WATER/FUEL. HE SAW NO SEPARATION IN THE MORNING. I HAVE LOVED MY DIESEL CAR, BUT VW HAS NOT YET SATISFIED ME WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE. MY SAFETY AND RELIABILITY CONCERNS HAVE BEEN VERY MUCH DISCOUNTED, AND I HAVE BEEN MADE TO FEEL LIKE THIS WAS MY FAULT. *TR

I NOTICED FIRST THAT THE ALARM WILL NOT CHIRP WHEN ACTIVATED HOWEVER THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER. AS A RESULT IT WAS THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. AFTER THE RAIN SEASON THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. IT DID HAPPEN EVERY YEAR TILL IT STOPS WORKING ALL TOGETHER. I FOUND OUT BY OTHER OWNERS THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT THE LOCK WAS JAMMED UNLOCK, IF IT WAS JAMMED LOCKED IT WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR WITHOUT DAMAGING THE DOOR. I FEEL IF SO MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN A FAIRLY NEW CAR IT SEEMS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NOT WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

ALL ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN DRIVERS DOOR CEASED TO FUNCTION. AUTO DOOR LOCK, DRIVER'S WINDOW, GAS LATCH. COULD NOT OPEN DRIVER'S WINDOW. APPARENTLY THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF WIRE HARNESS WAS DEFECTIVE IN THAT IT WAS 80 MM TOO SHORT. VW HAS ISSUE A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON APRIL 20, 2011 (V97-11-04) IDENTIFYING THIS INHERENT DEFECT. DEALER REPLACED DRIVER'S DOOR WIRING HARNESS AFTER DIAGNOSING MULTIPLE BROKEN WIRES. VW WILL NOT REIMBURSE CAR OWNERS FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT. *TR

OCCASIONALLY, THE REAR DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE WONT OPEN EVEN THOUGH I UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH REMOTE KEY. I HAVE FOUND IN THE VW CONSUMER FORUM THAT THIS IS NOT ONLY MY CAR'S ISSUE, BUT MANY VW JETTA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I ALWAYS SHOULD GET INSIDE FROM OTHER DOOR AND OPEN THE APPLICABLE FROM INSIDE. THIS IS HAPPENING TOO OFTEN SO IT IS BEING COMMON FOR ME TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR MY KID WHO USUALLY SITS IN THE BACK. IF THERE IS ANY ACCIDENT AND WHETHER POLICEMAN OR FIREMAN SHOULD OPEN THE DOOR FROM OUTSIDE, THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE SEVERE DELAY ON RESCUE THE PASSENGER WHO SITS IN THE BACK, USUALLY CHILDREN BECAUSE THE DOOR IS NOT BEING OPENED BY ANYHOW FROM OUTSIDE. I THINK VW SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I AM A 51 YEAR OLD DISABLED MAN WITH FULL TIME CUSTODY OF MY 2 KIDS. I DRIVE A 2010 VW JETTA TDI CLEAN DIESEL BOUGHT SLIGHTLY USED WITH 38000 MILES ON IT AND JUST AFTER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY OF 80000 MILES RAN OUT THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER FAILED ON THE CAR WITH UNDER 88000 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT'S A $2400.00 REPAIR. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH VWOA AND AFTER INVESTIGATING THEY PAID 100% PARTS AND LABOR ON THE REPAIRS. BUT 3 WEEKS LATER THE SAME PARTS FAIL AND ANOTHER CALL WAS MADE TO VWOA AND I TOLD THEM THE SAME PARTS FAILED THAT WERE JUST INSTALLED AND THEY REFUSE TO SUPPLY THE PARTS OR LABOR TO FIX THE CAR INSTEAD THEY ARE SENDING ME A LETTER THAT THEY REFUSE TO FIX A $2400.00 EMISSION PROBLEM AND I WILL HAVE TO FILE FOR A EMISSIONS WAVER FROM THE CT. DMV . SO MY 2010 VW CLEAN DIESEL WILL NOT PASS IT'S FIRST EMISSIONS TEST INSTEAD WITH THE DMV WAIVER I WILL LEGALLY SPEW SMOKE AND SOOT OUT THE TAILPIPE OF MY VW CLEAN DIESEL AND AFTER READING MANY VW TDI ENTHUSIAST FORUMS THERE ARE LOT AND LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH VW'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SO THERE IS NOTHING CLEAN ABOUT VOLKSWAGEN'S CLEAN DIESEL STAY AWAY FROM BUYING ONE. *TR

AROUND NOON TIME THIS PAST SATURDAY MY SON WAS RETURNING FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD STORE AND THE CAR STALLED AT THE ROADSIDE ABOUT 1/2 MILE FROM HOME. HE CALLED AND REPORTED THE CEL AND "COIL" LIGHT BLINKING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR, CONFIRMING THE SAME LIGHTS WERE BLINKING AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. AT HOME I CALLED THE VW SERVICE REP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT THAT SAME AFTERNOON. WE PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE CAR IN A SHORT WHILE AND IT STALLED AGAIN ENROUTE - WOULD NOT RESTART & HAD TO CALL FOR A TOW. AFTER TELLING THE VW SERVICE MGR WHAT HAD HAPPENED HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR A MECHANIC TO BRING SOME TOOL AND PROCEEDED TO TAKE THE TOP OF THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING. AS HE SUSPECTED THERE WERE SMALL FILINGS OF METAL IN THE FUEL FILTER HOUSING. HE THEN TOLD ME THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE SOME HPFP FAILURES AND THEY WOULD BE REPLACING IT WITH ONE FROM ANOTHER MFGR. HE ALSO SAID VW DEALT WITH RESOLVING THIS ISSUE BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I HAVE READ MULTIPLE INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET OF THIS HAPPENING AND VW REPORTING THAT IN MANY CASES OWNERS HAD CONTAMINATED THE FUEL SYSTEM WITH GASOLINE. I FUEL ALL THE CARS FOR OUR FAMILY AND HAVE NEVER PUT GASOLINE IN OUR JETTA'S FUEL SYSTEM. I HAVE ALL OUR FUEL RECEIPTS FROM THIS YEAR, AND UP TILL A FEW MONTHS AGO HAD ALL OUR 2012 RECEIPTS AS WELL. MY WIFE IS THE HIGH-USE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE. I THINK I'M VERY FORTUNATE THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN TO HER ON THE FREEWAY DURING HER COMMUTE TO/FROM WORK. *TR
