SEATS, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I STARTED EXPERIENCING A HOT SPOT IN THE DRIVER'S HEATED SEAT IN THE FALL OF 2012. I HAVE TO PUT A CUSHION BETWEEN MY RIGHT LEG AND THE SEAT OR IT WILL NEARLY BURN. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH EITHER THE O2 SENSOR OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHENEVER IT RAINS AND IT'S COOL WEATHER. THE CAR WILL LOSE POWER, SPUTTER AND LURCH UNTIL IT HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR A WHILE THEN IT ACTS NORMALLY. FINALLY, FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS THE REAR DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY OR BY HITTING THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR. I JUST REACHED THE 100K MARK AND KEEP UP REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR SO I'M A LITTLE UPSET THAT THINGS LIKE THIS ARE HAPPENING SO EARLY. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
OWNED MY 2010 VW JETTA SPORT WAGON TDI 6SP MAN SINCE NEW. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD AN INTERMENT COUGH & SPUTTER THAT WOULD HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED OR CONDITION, BUT WAS VERY INFREQUENT AN NON-REPEATABLE. NOW HOWEVER, STARTING AT AROUND 85,000 MILES, THE COUGH AND STALL HAS BECOME MORE FREQUENT, CAUSES THE GLOW PLUG INDICATOR LIGHT TO FLASH AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER (GOES INTO LIMP MODE?). THIS USED TO ALL RESET WHEN TURNING OFF THE KEY. THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, PARR IMPORTS IN BREMERTON WA, AT 89,802 MILES IT HAD P0322 & P0651 FAULT CODES. THEY SUSPECTED AN INTERMITTENT CRANK SENSOR FAULT AND WANTED ME TO MONITOR. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN MUCH WORSE, I HAVE NOW LOST POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND STALLED IN THE PARKING LOT PULLING ONTO THE ROAD AND HAVE HAD TO SWITCH VEHICLES WHEN IT WOULD NOT RESET LEAVING THE HOUSE. I WAS COMPELLED TO BUY THE TORQUE APPLICATION FOR MY ANDROID PHONE TO VIEW AND RESET FAULT CODES. I HAVE NOT RESET THE ECU FAULTS AT LEAST 4 MAYBE 6 TIMES AND NOW, AT AROUND 92,000 MILES, IT SHOWS 5 CODES AND WON'T RESET: P0322: IGNITION/DISTRIBUTOR ENGINE SPEED INPUT CIRCUIT NO SIGNAL, P2127: THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR/SWITCH E CIRCUIT LOW INPUT, P0193: FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT, P0651: UNKNOWN CODE - MORE INFORMATION MAY BE AVAILABLE ON THE WEB, P0300: RANDOM/MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE DETECTED. MY INTERNET RESEARCH SUGGEST THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (HPFP) MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH VW BLAMING IT ON GASOLINE CONTAMINATION, HOWEVER I HAVE RECORDS AND RECEIPTS CONFIRMING I ALWAYS FUEL WITH DIESEL FROM A MAJOR DISTRIBUTOR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE RUN INTO NUMEROUS ISSUES ON MY CAR THAT HAVE CAUSED ME TO TROUBLESHOOT AND SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE PULLED BACK THE ABRASION PROTECTION ON THE WIRING AND FOUND THAT THE INSULATION COMMON TO THE WIRES IS CRACK OR WORN OFF EXPOSING THE CENTER CONDUCTOR OF THE WIRES. MANY TIMES THERE ARE NUMEROUS WIRES WITHIN A HARNESS THAT ARE WORN THROUGH. SO FAR I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY THAT ARE SHORTED OUT BUT MANY ARE VERY CLOSE AND AT HIGH RISK OF CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT/FIRE. I AM AN AIRCRAFT ELECTRICIAN/INSPECTOR AND HAVE FOUND THE ABRASION PROTECTION TO BE HORRIBLE INADEQUATE. THERE ARE 2 HARNESSES THAT GO TO THE TURBO THAT HAVE A HARD PLASTIC ABRASION COVER BUT NOTHING SHIELDING THE WIRE FROM THIS COVER. ON BOTH OF THESE HARNESSES I FOUND THAT THE PLASTIC HAD WORN A SERIES OF RIDGES DOWN THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF WIRE THEY COVERED AND EXPOSED THE CONDUCTOR IN MULTIPLE PLACES. MY RIGHT HAND MIRROR TURN SIGNAL WAS NOT WORKING SO I PULLED IT OUT AND TESTED THE BULB AND FOUND THAT IT WAS GOOD. WHEN I PULLED THE RUBBER BOOT THAT COVERS THE WIRES IN THE DOOR JAM I FOUND A POWER WIRE IN THERE THAT THE INSULATION HAD CRACKED AND PULLED APART EXPOSING .150" OF CENTER CONDUCTOR IN MULTIPLE PLACES. IT SEEMS THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE WIRING IS EITHER POOR QUALITY OR JUST NOT PROTECTED CAUSING THE INSULATION TO FAIL AND BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD FOR POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHORTS OR FIRES. I HAVE HEARD THESE CARS ARE PRONE TO ELECTRICAL CAUSED FIRES AND STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IN ORDER TO AVOID MORE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THESE CARS THAT COULD COST SOMEONE THEIR LIFE. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR SINCE MAY OF 2013 AND HAVE ALREADY REPAIRED 4 WIRING HARNESSES THROUGHOUT THE CAR. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN ON A CAR THAT IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE PASSENGER DOOR(S) WILL NOT RESPOND TO THE KEYLESS ENTRY LOCK OR UNLOCK COMMANDS. THEY CAN ONLY CLOSE AND OPEN MANUALLY. I HAVE READ SEVERAL DIFFERENT FORUMS AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A STANDARD DEFAULT IN MODEL YEARS RANGING FROM 2007 AND ONWARD. THE SUNROOF WILL PERIODICALLY OPEN BY ITSELF AND THE BLINKERS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY (EXAMPLE IS WHEN I FLICK THE BLINKER UP TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE LEFT BLINKER COMES ON INSTEAD). WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY, AND LIFE THREATENING, ISSUES? *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
VEHICLE ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY DEAD AND WAS NEARLY REARENDED . WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE AND WAS TOWED BACK TO VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP. VOLKSWAGEN TOLD ME THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS BAD AND REPAIR WOULD COST $10,000.00 AFTER A FURIOUS ARGUMENT WAS TOLD THEY WOULD FIX IT. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY VEHICLES THAT HAVE NOT REPORTED IT TO NHTSA WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO PUT A STOP TO THIS MAJOR PROBLEM. MAYBE WHEN SOMEONE GETS KILLED *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. A SEMI ALMOST REAR ENDED ME BECAUSE I LOST SPEED SO QUICKLY. I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO FIGHT THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET OFF THE ROAD AS THE STEERING GOT EXTREMELY TIGHT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY IDENTIFIED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AS FAILING. *JS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
HIGH PITCHED WHINE, SUDDEN STALL AT HWY SPEED. THE FUEL LIGHT AND SERVICE ENGINE NOW LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RUN AND REQUIRED A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOTIFIED IT WOULD BE A $5000+ REPAIR AND THE HPFP FAILED REQUIRING THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM TO BE REPLACED. *TR

ENGINE
I WAS COMING OFF A RAMP AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO MORE THAN 20MPH. ALL THE GEARS ON THE GEAR SELECTOR DISPLAY FOUND IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER STAYS LIT UP AND AFFECTS THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS ARTICLES THAT STATES THERE IS A RECALL RELATED TO MALFUNCTIONING MECHATRONIC UNITS. THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL DSG RECALLS. VW CUSTOMER CARE OR THE DEALERSHIP I TAKE IT TO WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN WITH THE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
AFTER NORMAL REFUELING (WITH DIESEL, 100% CONFIDENT BASED ON THE STATION AND LOCATION OF THE PUMP), WITHIN TWO DAYS WE TOOK A SMALL 100 MILE TRIP. 40 MILES INTO THE TRIP FAILURE RESULTED AND THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STALL AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS (70-75MPH). NOT KNOWING THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP ALONG UNTIL WE REACHED SAFETY AND WERE IN A LOCATION WHERE WE HAD ASSISTANCE IF NEEDED FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE TOWED THE CAR BACK HOME ($250), AND WHEN THE DEALER OPENED UP ON MONDAY WE WERE TOLD WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. DOING SOME RESEARCH WE FOUND MANY, MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SCENARIO AS FOUND IN NHTSA INVESTIGATION EA11003. OUR VEHICLE JUST EXPIRED ITS NORMAL WARRANTY (67,000 MILES) AND THE 2010 ONLY CAME WITH 60,000 MILE WARRANTY VS. THE CURRENT 100,000 MILE WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE ENTIRELY A DESIGN FLAW AND A KNOWN ISSUE. WE LOVE THE CAR, AND IT HAS BEEN THE BEST CAR WE HAVE EVERY OWNED UP UNTIL THIS POINT. I HOPE THAT VOLKSWAGEN ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY AND KEEPS A LIFETIME CUSTOMER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
LEFT THE WAL-MART PARKING LOT AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING. LUCKY NO ONE WAS BEHIND US. TRIED TO RESTART BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD A TOW TRUCK TAKE IT TO OUR HOME. MY HUSBAND READ THE TROUBLE CODE "000135 - FUEL RAIL/SYSTEM PRESSURE P0087 - 000 - TOO LOW" LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS IS CAUSED BY THE HPFP MALFUNCTIONING. NHTSA HAS A CURRENT INVESTIGATION ONGOING ON THIS ISSUE, I HOPE YOU CAN HELP, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS, AS MY DAUGHTER WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE CAR TO COLLEGE THIS WEEKEND AND THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN ORLANDO CITY TRAFFIC. WE HAVE HAD DIESEL CARS SINCE 1998, 2 OTHER TDIS AND MY HUSBANDS TRUCK IS A DIESEL, WE FUEL THEM AT SAM'S CLUB UNLESS WE ARE ON THE ROAD, THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ACCIDENTAL FUEL MIX UPS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
WHILE DRIVING I SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE OF MY 2011 JETTA TDI. UNDER WARRANTY I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE VW DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM WAS DESTROYED BY THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, AND IT WAS POSSIBLY BE DUE TO THE DIESEL I USED, BEING DIRTY OR OTHERWISE CONTAMINATED. I HAD ALL MY RECEIPTS FOR DIESEL FILL-UPS FROM THE SAME STATION, AND IT WAS LISTED ON THE VW.COM WEBSITE AS A LOCATION FOR DIESEL. THE TANK WAS SUPPOSEDLY EMPTIED AND FILTERED DURING THE REPAIR AND I WAS NOT INFORMED OF CONTAMINATION. ON READING FURTHER I NOTE THAT MANY TDI OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FROM VW THAT THIS IS A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM, NOT A CUSTOMER MISUSE OF DIESEL FUEL. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS STARTING OUT FROM A RED LIGHT AND WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE RIGHT LANE AND THEN THE SHOULDER. THE DANGER ON A BUSY ROADWAY COULD BE LETHAL. READ EDMONDS.COM AND OTHER JETTA OWNER BLOGS AND NOTE THE EXACT SAME INCIDENTS OCCURRING. WITH THE EXPLODING INTEREST IN DIESEL CARS FOR FUEL ECONOMY, THIS SITUATION NEEDS EVALUATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
AT MY CARS 20K SERVICE THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE BRAKES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. AT THE 50K THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. WEAR THIS RAPID IS DISCONCERTING AND DANGEROUS. HAD I NOT TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR SERVICE THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO A SERIOUS ISSUE. I DO NOT USE MY BRAKES HEAVILY. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS NON-HIGHWAY DRIVING, MOSTLY JUST TRAFFIC LIGHT TO TRAFFIC LIGHT. I CONSISTENTLY USE THE PARKING BRAKE WHEN PARKING. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN PULLING INTO WORK, MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A MESSAGE THAT SAID "AIRBAG FAULT!" I HAVE SINCE HAD THIS DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED CLOCK SPRING (LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN), WHICH VW WILL NOT REPLACE BECAUSE THE CAR IS OVER MILEAGE AND TOO OLD FOR ANY KIND OF GOODWILL REPLACEMENT OF THE PART. SINCE THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY SYSTEM, I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT IT FAILED ON AN EFFECTIVELY NEW CAR, WHEN NONE OF THE 15-20 YEAR OLD BEATERS I'VE DRIVEN HAVE EVER HAD A CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
AFTER A LONG DRIVE (ABOUT 300 MILES) AND DINNER, I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT AND SUDDENLY THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT CAME ON AND A NOTICE FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN THE CAR STALLED. I TRIED STARTING IT AND IT RAN ABOUT 1 MINUTE THEN STALLED AGAIN. I STARTED IT A THIRD TIME AND MANAGED TO GET THE CAR ABOUT 100 FEET BEFORE IT STALLED. I COULD NOT RESTART. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS GONE AND ASSOCIATED DAMAGE DONE TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $6000. AM CURRENTLY REQUESTING THAT THE REPAIRS BE PAID FOR BY VW. I ALWAYS USE DIESEL FUEL AND NEVER PUT ANY GASOLINE IN MY CAR AND CAN BACK THIS UP WITH DOCUMENTATION. I FILLED UP THE TANK ABOUT 70 MILES UP THE ROAD AND THERE'S NO WAY IT COULD HAVE RUN THAT FAR ON GAS. I'VE OWNED DIESEL CARS FOR MOST OF MY DRIVING LIFE. I AM LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON THE FREEWAY OR REMOTE LOCATION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING MY JETTA IN "S" (SPORT SELECTION ON THE TRANSMISSION) ON A SURFACE STREET I CAME TO A RED LIGHT. I STARTED BRAKING AND THE BRAKES FELT SPONGY AND UNRESPONSIVE. I TRIED PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH MORE FORCE BUT WAS NOT GETTING MUCH BRAKING RESPONSE. THE VEHICLE TOOK A VERY LONG DISTANCE TO RESPOND COMPARED TO ITS RESPONSE TIME WHEN IN "D" (DRIVE SELECTION ON THE TRANSMISSION). LUCKY I AM AN EARLY BARKER AND THERE WAS NOT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO THE VEHICLE ONLY WENT INTO THE INTERSECTION A SHORT DISTANCE BEFORE IT STOPPED. WHEN FINALLY AT A STOP I KEPT STEADY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF BEING AT A COMPLETE STOP I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SINKING TOWARDS THE FLOOR BOARD. IT FELT LIKE IT DOES WHEN YOU ARE BLEEDING AIR OUT OF THE LINES. WHILE AT THE STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL SANK FURTHER, AT FIRST SLOWLY, AND THEN WITH ONE FINAL QUICK MOVEMENT THE BRAKE PEDAL SANK COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR BOARD OF THE CAR. THE ONLY TIME I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF BRAKE ACTIVITY IS WITH OLDER CARS WHEN ONE IS PERFORMING THE TASK OF BLEEDING THE BRAKES. IF I HAD BEEN TAPPED FROM BEHIND THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN SENT INTO THE INTERSECTION. DURING THIS INCIDENT I NOTICED THAT THE TACHOMETER WAS RUNNING AT 900 RPM EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS AT A "COMPLETE", OR BETTER STATED, THE BRAKE WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, WITH NO ADDITIONAL BRAKING PRESSURE AVAILABLE. I FEEL VERY UNSURE AND UNSAFE WHEN I GO TO USE MY BRAKES AND HAVE TO ALLOW SEVERAL EXTRA CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME TO ENSURE THAT I AM ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN TIME. *TR

THE AIRBAG STOPPED FUNCTIONING WITHOUT ANY REASON. THE CAR WAS BEING STARTED WHEN THE AIRBAG ERROR INDICATOR CAME ON AND STATED AIRBAGS ARE NOT FUNCTIONAL. VW SAYS THAT THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY WARRANTY, WHICH DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE SINCE ITS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT BE FAILING ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 65,000 MILES. *TR

ENGINE, SEATS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE 2001 V.W. JETTA: THIS VEHICLE BURNS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL, APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART PER MONTH, IN DAILY, EVERDAY USAGE, CITY TRAFFIC AND SHORT HIGHWAY TRIPS, AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF OIL, EVEN WITH REGULAR OIL/FILTER CHANGES. V.W. HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME OF THIS PROBLEM, NOR CORRECTED IT AND DEALERS' WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE, SHODDY, FLIP-BACK, PLASTIC ARM REST IS BROKEN, CHEAPLY MADE, IT WILL NOT RETAIN OR HOLD THE DRIVER'S ARM, IT IS LOCATED ADJACENT AND NEAR THE AUTO. TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT, IT COULD AND DOES FAIL, A SAFETY HAZARD. REAR TAIL AND BRAKE LIGHTS BURN-OUT AT EXCESSIVE RATES, OFTEN ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE A NUISANCE, TO REPLACE THEM. PLEASE HAVE V.W. CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS @ THEIR OWN EXPENSE, NOT MINE, OWNER.
