STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASE (2 ) 2014 VW JETTA. THE IGNITION CILINDER STOP WORKING 6 MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE CAR. AFTER NUMEROUS TIMES AT THE DEALER WITH THE SECOND JETTA AND TELLING THEM SOMETHING IS WRONG . THE DEALER KEPT ON TELLING ME THEIR IS NO RECALL AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SINCE LOOKING AT THIS MATTER ON THE NET. . AT TIMES THIS KEY PROBLEM IS A HASSARD BECAUSE IT CAN MAKE THE ELECTRONICS OF THE CAR FAIL. DOES SOME HAVE TO DIE FOR THIS TO BE A RECALL AND PROTECT THE CONSUMERS? PLEASE LOOK INTO THE MATTER AND MAKE VW OWN UP TO WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO KEEP PEOPLE ON THE ROAD AND NOT SIX FOOT UNDER. KEY STOP WORKING WHILE CAR IS RUNNING, ELECTRONIC FRAILER, YOU CAN TURN KEYS TO ANY POSITION, CAN TURN THE CAR ON, I WAS ON VACATION ON A FERRY AND COULD NOT MOVE THE CAR CB THE KEY COULD NOT BE TURNED FOR ANYTHING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ON CITY STREET, THE ENGINE QUIT. THERE WAS NO POWER AND THE AUTO HAD TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR STATION. REPAIR WAS JX1 POWER ELECTRONIC OUTPUT MODEL WHICH WAS CODED AND ADAPTED TO VEHICLE. :(PER BRUNSWICK AUTO MART DOCUMENT). IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THIS VEHICLE ENGINE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE FAILED. IF THE FAILURE HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY DURING HIGH VOLUME OF TRAFFIC A SERIOUS ISSUE WOULD OCCUR.

I HAVE A VW 2013 JETTA WITH APPROX 65,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WITH IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE JUST STOPPED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN PHOENIX, AZ. I AM DRIVING AT THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY COME TO A STOP THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THERE WAS NO LIGHTS THAT TURNED ON ON THE DISPLAY PANE. LAST SATURDAY WHILE DRIVING TO THE AIRPORT TO PICK UP MY WIFE AGAIN THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AS DESCRIBED, BUT THIS TIME, IT APPEARED ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON THE PANEL. I HAD TO PUT THE HAZARD LIGHTS, PUT IT ON PARK TO START THE VEHICLE. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE VEHICLE AT LARRY MILLERS FOR INSPECTION AND TOLD THEM WE HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE
ENGINE SEIZED WITH NO PRIOR WARNING. THE OIL LIGHT OR TEMPERATURE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON PRIOR TO CAR STALLING WITH A SEIZED ENGINE. WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND AN EPC LIGHT CAME ON, NOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN WE PULLED OVER THE CAR STALLED WITH ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE NEXT DAY THAT THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 10000 MILES WITH SYNTHETIC OIL. THERE IS NO REASON THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION HAVE GROANING AND GROWLING SOUNDS AT GEAR 4,5, AND 7. VERY LOUD AT TIMES. ALSO THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME HESITATION TO ACCELERATE. VW KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IS DOING NOTHING. MOREOVER, VW KNOWS IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER AS THEY SENT OUT A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO UNSOLD JETTA'S TO DEALERS BUT AREN'T DOING ANYTHING TO ALREADY SOLD JETTAS. ONLY SAYING THESE NOISES ARE NORMAL. THIS DEFECTIVE CONVERTER IS ON HUNDREDS OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF JETTA AND EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S DANGEROUS AND A SAFETY ISSUE.AND DAMAGING THE TRANSMISSION

POWER TRAIN
THE 2019 JETTA HAS A WEIRD, GRINDING/GROWLING SOUND WHEN SHIFTING INTO 5TH GEAR AT ABOUT 25-30 MPH. IT CAN ALSO BE HEARD IN OTHER GEARS, SUCH AS 8TH, BUT MORE PROMINENT IN 5TH. THERE'S ALSO A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF POWER WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS FROM 2ND TO 3RD. THE CAR APPEARS IT DROPS ALMOST 800RPM AND IS SO SLOW TO ACCELERATE. WHEN IT'S SHIFTING 2-3, YOU'RE STILL IN A CRITICAL STATE OF ACCELERATION AND WHEN TRYING TO TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY WITH 55MPH SPEED LIMIT AND YOU HAVE A CAR THAT LOSES POWER TO THE WHEELS IS UNSAFE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VW JETTA 2011 HAS BEEN DYING WHEN IDLING, IN PARK AND WHILE DECELERATING. IT WILL BE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND JUST LOSE POWER. IT HAS TO THEN BE PUT IN PARK AND THE KEY MUST BE TURNED TO COME BACK ON. THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. RECENTLY, IT HAPPENED COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY GOING 45 MPH. CAR HAD TO COAST AND THE BRAKES WERE RIDDEN TO A STOP WHERE CAR HAD TO BE TURNED BACK ON. DEALERSHIP HAS ALLEGEDLY REPLACED ISSUES WITH THE EPC LIGHT COMING ON, TIMING BELT AND FELL PUMP. THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN SPENT ON THIS ISSUE AND THE CAR KEEPS DYING. IT CURRENTLY HAS 115K MILES ON IT. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WHEN PUMPING GAS AT A GAS STATION. EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FILLED UP, IT WILL NOT STAY THE FIRST TIME TURNING THE KEY. THE GAS PEDAL MUST BE PRESSED A NUMBER OF TIME FOR THE ENGINE TO TURN OVER AND THEN THE GAS PEDAL MUST BE PUMPED TO KEEP THE ENGINE ON. RANDOMLY DYING ON THE HIGHWAY, ON CITY STREETS AND IN INTERSECTION IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO CARS, INJURIES AND DEATHS.
