ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TURNED MY VEHICLE ON AND HEARD THE RADIO POP AND HAS BEEN USELESS EVER SINCE. THE RADIO IN THIS VEHICLE CONTROLS EVERYTHING. I HAVE TALKED TO VWOA AND SEVERAL OTHER VW REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THIS IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND I MUST PAY FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR MYSELF. I AM VERY DISPLEASED WITH THE QUALITY OF PARTS AND SERVICE IN THIS VEHICLE. ALSO THE WAY EVERYONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT LIES ABOUT IT REALLY GETS ON MY NERVES. ITS NOT RIGHT THAT A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY CAN CONTINUE TO DO THIS TO PEOPLE LEGALLY. I HOPE THAT THERE ARE GOOD PEOPLE AT YOUR ORGANIZATION THAT CAN MAKE THIS RIGHT. I HAVE FOUND SO MANY DIFFERENT WEBSITES, BLOGS , FORUMS. AND DISAPPOINTED PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE INCLUDED JUST A FEW OF THE ONES I HAVE FOUND WITH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LISTEN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I TOOK MY JETTA TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC WENT TO MOVE MY CAR IN THE BAY AND COULD NOT GET IT TURNED OFF. I HAD TO HAVE IT MOVED TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER TO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A FAULTY IGNITION AND VOLKSWAGEN SAID A BAD STEERING LOCK. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS ISSUE NOW OCCURS EVERY DAY. THIS VEHICLE HAS PUSH BUTTON START, WHICH MEANS THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE DEPRESSED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR MORE THAN 3 HOURS, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AS THERE IS PRESSURE BUILT UP IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. ON THE FIRST DEALER VISIT, THE BRAKE BOOSTER CHECK VALVE WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. ON THE SECOND VISIT, AFTER SITTING FOR A WEEK, THE DEALER MADE NO REPAIRS AND GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK. THEY ADVISED THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION, TO WHICH I SAID IT WAS NOT AS THIS DID NOT OCCUR WHEN VEHICLE WAS LEASED UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO. VW CORPORATE WAS INVOLVED, WHICH PROVED TO BE A LOST CAUSE, AS THEY SIDED WITH THE DEALER. IF SOMEONE WERE TO TRY AND START THIS VEHICLE AND THEY WERE OF SMALLER STATURE, THEY MOST LIKELY WOULD BE UNABLE TO DO SO. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
THE CAR WAS RUNNING FINE UP TO THE TIME IT QUIT. IT STALLED IN A PUDDLE AFTER 7 DAYS OF RAIN SO I ASSUMED IT HAD GOTTEN WATER IN THE SYSTEM SOMEHOW. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. HE IN TURN CALLED THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO SELL HIM THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THEM. I HAVE SINCE BEEN TOLD THE REPAIR WORK WILL BE BETWEEN 8 AND 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM! I TOLD THEM TO HOLD OFF SO THAT I CAN WAY MY OPTIONS. I HAVE SINCE VERIFIED THAT INDEED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAD DISINTEGRATED AND DESTROYED THE FUEL SYSTEM. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THREE LANES AT APPROXIMATELY 10:00 PM THROUGH LIGHT RAIN THE GLOW PLUG INDICATOR ON THE DASH BEGAN TO FLASH. THEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER. I PULLED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE WHERE THE CAR LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS ALL OCCURRED WITHIN 20-25 SECONDS AND WE WERE LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO EMERGENCY LANE. WE HAVE SINCE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A VW DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH WAS UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM MOST FELLOW VW OWNER RECOMMENDED THAT I FILE A COMPLAINT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2009 JETTA TDI SPORTWAGEN. DURING A PANIC STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT THE ABS AND ATC (TRACTION CONTROL) DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON SOLID ALONG WITH AN ALARM AND THE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF. DURING THIS PANIC STOP BOTH REAR BRAKES LOCKED. TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND ON RESET THE INDICATOR LIGHTS. TEN MINUTES LATER I ATTEMPTED TO DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT ON A QUIET SIDE STREET BY DRIVING AT 20 MPH AND HITTING THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH TO ENGAGE THE ABS. ONCE AGAIN THE INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND ALARM SOUNDED. DEALER DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS FAILURE OF THE ABS CONTROLLER. RESEARCH ON INTERNET INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2009 JETTAS WITH HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR OCCURRENCES. THE PART IS $1750 PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL BRINGS TOTAL TO $2200. THE ABS CONTROLLER IS NOT A WEAR ITEM AND SHOULD NOT BE FAILING ON A CAR WHICH HAS 62,400 MILES ON IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED AND SERVICED SINCE NEW. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE ABS HAD BEEN ENGAGED OTHER THAN DURING THE WINTER ON SNOW COVERED ROADS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I BOUGHT A 2014 NEW JETTA SE. BUT THIS VEHICLE SITS IN VW DEALERSHIP FOR ENTIRE FIRST MONTH. LAST WEEK, I HAD A FENDER-BENDER ACCIDENT ON LOCAL HIGHWAY DUE TO BRAKE PROBLEM. TWO CLAIMS INVOLVED IN THIS CASE: 1. BRAKE HARD LIKE ROCK WHEN I TRY TO START THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING. I COULD NOT START THE ENGINE. 2. WHEN I DRIVE ON THE 50 MILE SPEED LIMIT HIGH WAY, I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR DUE TO WEAK BRAKE SYSTEM. IT TOOK EXTRA LONG DEEP STROKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND TOOK EXTRA LONG DISTANCE TO STOP. ALSO I COULD NOT DO EMERGENCY STOP IF SOME CUTS IN FRONT OF ME. WEAK WEAK WEAK BRAKE..... I DROVE FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS, I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH EXPERIENCE. IT IS AN UNSAFE CAR! MY WIFE NOW REFUSE TO DRIVE IT. I TOOK THIS VEHICLE TO VW DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIND OUT PROBLEM WITH CAR (FAULTY BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER). THEY CHANGED THE COMPONENTS AND SYSTEM TWICE, AND NOW CONDITION IS THE SAME. VW TECHNICAL SERVICE WENT TO DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD MY DEALER THAT THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE..... I AM VERY SHOCK ON THIS CONCLUSION. PLEASE INVESTIGATE ON THIS VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM. I DON'T WANT OTHER VW JETTA DRIVE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, RISKED LIFE FOR A FAULTY SYSTEM, AND I MUST VOICE IT OUT TO WARN MY FELLOW JETTA DRIVER: BE CAREFUL! *TR

THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED MORE QUICKLY AND IN A PARKING GARAGE AND NEARLY RESULTED IN A COLLISION. THE JERKING HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS, INCLUDING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN IN AUGUST 9, 2012. ONE WEEK LATER AFTER PURCHASE, THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. I CALLED HERTZ CAR SALES WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND TO NO AVAIL THE PROBLEM DID NOT GET RESOLVED. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE HORN WORKS AT TIME AND THEN DOESN'T WORK. I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHAT A SAFETY HAZARD THE CAR CAN BE IF YOU CAN'T ALERT ANOTHER DRIVER WITH YOUR HORN. I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT VOLKSWAGEN DID A RECALL FOR THE 2011 MODEL BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2012 MODEL WHICH IS OBVIOUS THAT THE SAME PROBLEM EXIST. I CALLED VOLKSWAGEN AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED 2/2012. IF THE SAME PART WAS USED IN MY CAR WHICH IS SHOWING THE EXACT SAME MALFUNCTIONED PARTS THAT WERE RECALLED IN 2011. IT IS MORE THAN LIKELY THAT THE EARLIER 2012 MODELS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2011 PROBLEM. I USED THIS CAR TO GET MYSELF AND MY SON BACK AND FORTH TO DR.'S APPOINTMENTS, SCHOOL AND OTHER DAILY ERRANDS. I CONSIDER THE CAR TO BE A HAZARD WITH THE HORN MALFUNCTIONING AND THE CAR STOPPING I THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. *TR

2012 JETTA WITH SEVERE CRACKING ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES. 205/55/16. CALLED HANKOOK AND THEY RESPONDED THAT THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. VW DEALER HAS PHOTOS OF 20 CARS WITH THE SAME CONCERN, BUT TIRES ARE NOT COVERED BY VW, ONLY THROUGH TIRE MANUFACTURER. AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER HANCOOK OPTIMO 725A TIRE SEVER CRACKING, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM AND NEEDS INVESTIGATION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY EXTERNAL LIGHT MALFUNCTION INDICATOR WENT ON. I STOPPED AND SAW THAT THE LEFT RUNNING LIGHT AND THE RIGHT LOW BEAM LIGHT WERE OUT. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON 2 HOURS LATER THE INDICATOR WAS OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS WERE WORKING. TODAY I GOT THE WARNING AGAIN AND IT CYCLED THROUGH TO SHOW MULTIPLE EXTERNAL LIGHTS NEEDING REPLACEMENT. IT APPEARS THIS IS THE MELTED FUSE BOX ISSUE. I SEE THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON SOME VWS. IS THE 2011 JETTA TDI RECALLED FOR THIS? *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES ON MY 2005.5 VW JETTA FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS WITH IT SHIFTING HARD OR NOT GOING INTO GEAR. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN, SO MUCH TO THE POINT THAT I WILL NOT LET MY DAUGHTER OR WIFE DRIVE THE CAR AS I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE FOR THEM. THEY HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WOULD JUST SIT THERE AND REV, BUT NEVER ENGAGE IN DRIVE OR IT WOULD SHIFT SO HARD THAT THEY FELT LIKE THEY HAD WHIPLASH. I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH THE PRICE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $3-5K, PROBABLE CLOSE TO $7K IF YOU GO TO THE DEALER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND VW IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT SO FAR NOT WILLING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT TAKE A PERSON DYING FOR THEM TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL VW OWNER FOR YEARS, BUT AM NOT WILLING TO RISK THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY FOR A COMPANY WHO DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CONSUMERS. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING IN MY JETTA TDI FOR OVER A YEAR, AND SO FAR MY MECHANIC HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE CAUSE. I HEAR A DING AND THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT BEGINS FLASHING, AND ON THE SMALL SCREEN I SEE "ENGINE FAULT - WORKSHOP" ONCE. THE CAR SOMETIMES SEEMS TO LOSE POWER OR GO INTO "LIMP MODE" BUT SOMETIMES THERE IS NO AFFECT ON HOW IT DRIVES. WHEN I PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR, THEN TURN IT BACK ON, THE ERROR IS GONE AND THE CAR DRIVES FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE & MORE FREQUENTLY, ALMOST ALWAYS WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT NOW HAPPENS AT LEAST EVERY OTHER WEEK OR SO. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM FOR JETTA TDIS, AND IT SEEMS THAT VW NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! THE LAST TIME I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP FOR IT, ANOTHER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON, AND THAT WAS FIXED, BUT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT BECAUSE MY MECHANIC COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT I'VE DONE MORE RESEARCH I AM CALLING MY MECHANIC IN THE MORNING. *TR
