VISIBILITY
THIS ISSUES INVOLVES THE FAILURE OF WINDSHIELD WIPERS SET ON THE HIGHEST SETTING TO REMAIN AT THAT SPEED. VW HAS CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AT A DEALERSHIP BUT OFFERS NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM. ESCALATION WITHIN VW HAS YET TO PRODUCE A SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM. IN HEAVY RAIN, DRIVING IS UNSAFE BECAUSE THE WIPERS VARY IN SPEED AND TO KEEP A CONSTANT WIPER RATE REQUIRES REPEATED CHANGING OF THE SETTINGS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SUSPENSION
I HAVE A 2005 VW 2.5 JETTA. MY FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT 32,000 MILES WHEN THE BACK BRAKES WENT OUT. FOLLOWING THAT, MY BRAKE LIGHTS BECAME FAULTY. AFTER REPLACING MY BRAKE LIGHTS, THEY WENT OUT AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO CHARGED ME $38 TO CHANGE THEM AGAIN. THEY WENT OUT ONCE AGAIN BEFORE THE DEALER DECIDED TO INFORM ME THERE WAS A DEFECT WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEXT PROBLEM WAS WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO TOLD ME MY SPARK PLUGS WERE WET FROM THE RAIN. THEY SUGGESTED THE 40K MILE MAINTENANCE AT $500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AGREED TO DO THIS ONLY TO HAVE THE LIGHT COME ON AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 MORE TIMES UNTIL THE DEALER FINALLY REVEALED THEY ARE AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE COILS. THEY WERE DYING ELECTRONICALLY ONE BY ONE AND THEY HAD TO ORDER 5 NEW UPDATED COILS FROM MICHIGAN FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN. 6 MONTHS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AT 50 MILES. NOW I AM BEING TOLD THE A/C FAN MOTOR HAS DIED. THERE IS NO SENSOR FOR THIS SO THE FAN MOTOR HAS TO BE REPLACED AT $780.00. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE LARGER FAN IS WORKING, BUT IT IS WEAK AND MIGHT NEED REPLACED AS WELL. THE CAR JERKS AND RUNS VERY ROUGH. MY CAR ALSO MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN I START IT. WHEN I AM SITTING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT FOR A CAR THAT HAS 56K MILES CURRENTLY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAD JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, GOT IT SATISFIED AND WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY BACK TO SCHOOL ON A BACK HIGHWAY. THE HOOD CAME COMPLETELY UNDONE AND SWUNG ON TOP OF MY WINDSHIELD. THE WHOLE HOOD IS COMPLETELY CRACKED AND WE COULD BARELY CLOSE IT. I HAD CHECKED EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLOSED BEFORE I HAD LEFT BECAUSE I WAS SO PARANOID THAT SOMETHING WOULD GO WRONG. I CALLED THE VW HOTLINE AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT THEY AREN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND IT WAS ALL ON ME TO PAY. THE HOOD AND CLOSING LATCH BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WANT TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN OR IF IT WAS JUST A FLUKE. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PREMATURE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON A 2002 VW JETTA TDI DIESEL. FIRST TIME IT FAILED AND LOCKED THE FRONT WHEELS ON JAN 2003 AT 15,500 MILES. THE VW DEALER FAILED TO DIAGNOSE OR ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS BEGINNING TO EXHIBIT DIFFICULTY SHIFTING INTO REVERSE - 30 DAYS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP WHILE I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, RESULTING IN A NEAR MISS HEAD-ON COLLISION. TRANSMISSION REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. ON SEPT 29, 2008, 89,400 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP, DUCKETT'S AUTOMOTIVE, REPORTED THAT PREMATURE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 50,000 MILES OR LESS IS COMMON WITH TDI JETTAS. THEY REPORT THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETIN OR AFTER-MARKET FIX TO WHAT THEY DESCRIBE AS A DEFECTIVELY DESIGNED AUTO TRANSMISSION. THE SPECIFIC SITE OF FAILURE ARE THE BEARINGS IN THE PLANETARY GEAR. THE RESULT, $3200.00 REPAIR AND REBUILD. TWO TRANSMISSIONS IN LESS THAN 100,000 MILES, AND THE EXPECTATION OF PREMATURE FAILURE OF THIS REPAIR AS WELL. *TR

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD FOGS UP, AND YOU CANT SEE ANYTHING THROUGH IT. YOU NEED TO TURN ON THE AIR-CONDITIONING, SO THAT IT HEATS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD UP. IF YOU DON'T DO THAT, YOU WILL CRASH BECAUSE OF 0% VISIBILITY. *TR

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
TODAY, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR 2001 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA GLS 1.8T DOWN THE ROAD. THE RIGHT SIDE WHEELS WENT A FEW INCHES OFF THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. SHE REMAINED STRAIGHT AND GUIDED THE CAR BACK ONTO THE ROAD. ONCE BACK ON THE ROAD FULLY, THE SIDE AIRBAG (DRIVER'S SIDE) DEPLOYED. SHE WAS ABLE TO GUIDE THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO THE SHOULDER. THERE WAS NO IMPACT WITH ANYTHING. THERE IS NO DAMAGE. THE TIRES AREN'T EVEN DIRTY. SHE RECEIVED A WELT ON HER LEFT ARM, (PROBABLY SOON TO BE A BRUISE.) SHE HAS A RINGING IN HER LEFT EAR AND A REDUCTION IN HEARING (PROBABLY TEMPORARY.) A VERY SCARY SITUATION. IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY AND I'M NOT CERTAIN WHAT STEPS TO TAKE FROM HERE. I KNOW IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR TO REPLACE AN AIRBAG AND I WILL BE VERY NERVOUS ABOUT MY DAUGHTER DRIVING THIS CAR ON THE HIGHWAY IF A MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD MIGHT SET HER AIRBAG OFF AND CAUSE HER TO CRASH AT 65 MILES PER HOUR. *TR

THE LATEST INCIDENT WITH THIS 2004 VW JETTA IS ONE IN WHICH EVERYTHING ELECTRIC STOPS WORKING. NO A/C, NOT LIGHTS, NO BLINKERS, NO WINDOWS, NO HORN - AND THERE IS A SMELL OF SMOKE IN THE CAR. THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN JANUARY/08 AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS WIRING. NOW IT HAPPENED AGAIN! OCCURS JUST WHILE DRIVING ALONG. CAR SMELLS LIKE SMOKE AND EVERYTHING STOPS WORKING. I GET THE RUNAROUND FROM THE DEALER, VISTA VW IN POMPANO BEACH, FL. THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR NOW THAT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS - THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE JETTA'S! I HAVE FOUND 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ON CONSUMER SITES ABOUT THIS CAR. I AM TIRED OF PAYING MY HARD EARNED DOLLARS TO THE DEALER WHEN THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS CAR. I ADVISED THE DEALER OF THIS WHEN I TOOK IT IN IN JANUARY; HIS RESPONSE WAS, TOO BAD, YOU DO NOT QUALIFY FOR THE CAR LEMON LAW SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANT AND PURCHASED IT IN DEC/05. PLEASE DO SOMETHING FOR US CONSUMERS THAT ARE TIRED OF BEING MANIPULATED AND OVERCHARGED FOR ISSUES THAT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE AUTO MANUFACTURER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYONE OTHER AGENCY I CAN CONTACT. I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON THIS AND HOPE YOU CAN ASSIST ME. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT OVER THE YEARS HER VEHICLE SPORADICALLY OVERHEATS. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND HAD THE OXYGEN SENSORS REPLACED TWICE, THE THERMOSTAT, THE BATTERY, THE WATER PUMP, AND THE AUXILIARY WATER PUMP. RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RADIATOR FAN, SECONDARY AIR PUMP, AND THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF OVER $2,000. THE TECHNICIAN ADDED THAT IF THE REPAIR WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN REMEDYING THE FAILURES, THEY MAY HAVE TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,126 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I HAD A 2006 VW JETTA TDI. MY WIFE WAS ON HER WAY TO WORK WHEN SHE WENT TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR AS THE CAR SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. AS ALL THE REST OF THE COMPLAINTS GO WITH THIS CAR THE DEALER PAID FOR THE PARTS AND I HAD TO PAY $1000 DOLLARS OF LABOR. WITHIN THE 2 WEEKS OUR CAR WAS IN THIS DEALER 3 OTHER 2006 JETTA TDI CAME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT WASN'T A WALK IN THE PARK TO HAVE VW PAY FOR AT LEAST HALF. ALSO IT TOOK THE DEALER 2 WEEKS TO GET THIS JOB DONE. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT VOLKSWAGEN NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF. ANOTHER THING I WAS TOLD BY VW OF AMERICA WAS THAT THIS IS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM AND NOT PART OF THE DRIVE TRAIN WARRANTY. IF A PART HAS ANY MOVEMENT ON A CAR IT GOES THROUGH WEAR AND TEAR. SO IF A PISTON RING BREAKS AND LOCKS THE MOTOR UP IS THAT COVERED OR IS THAT WEAR AND TEAR. WE HAVE LEARNED OUR LESSON AND WILL NEVER BUY VOLKSWAGEN EVER AGAIN. BY THE WAY ONLY 50,000 MILES ON CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
AT 23,000 MILES, WITHOUT WARNING, NO INITIAL SIGNS OF CONCERN, CLUTCH FAILS, DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO RETURN. MY MISFORTUNE HAPPENED EXACTLY HOW THE OTHER NUMEROUS COMPLAINANTS DID. FOUND VW TECHNICAL BULLETIN #2016615 DATED 11/05/07 DESCRIBED AS 'CLUTCH, FRICTION MATERIAL FLAW' (SACHS MANUFACTURED ONLY) NOTES ONLY SACHS CLUTCH PLATES ARE AFFECTED BY THIS FLAW AND THEREFORE ONLY ISSUES WITH THE SACHS CLUTCH PLATE WILL BE COVERED UNDER THIS TECHNICAL BULLETIN. THERE ARE NO KNOWN FRICTION MATERIAL FLAWS WITH LUK CLUTCH PLATE OR PRESSURE PLATE.' BULLETIN EXTENDS THE WARRANTY ON THESE PARTS AN EXTRA 4 YEARS / 50000 MILES. MY CLUTCH PLATE HAPPENS TO BE A LUK...AFTER READING THE SCORES OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT CLUTCHES GOING OUT AT 10-50K MILES, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S TRUE ANYMORE...MY SUSPICION IS THAT MAYBE THE PROBLEM IS REALLY WITH THE LUK MANUFACTURED CLUTCH PLATE AND THAT THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN WAS ISSUED COVERING THE SACHS BRAND TO AVOID HAVING TO WARRANT THE LUK BRAND. *TR UPDATED 09/18/08. *JB

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD, AIR BAGS
2007 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA HAD A RATTLING NOISE IN THE WINDSHIELD. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE NOISE GREW IN INTENSITY AND ANNOYANCE. HE TRIED TO FIND THE LOCATION OF THE NOISE AND LIGHTLY TAPPED THE WINDSHIELD AND IT CRACKED. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER CLAIMED A ROCK MAY HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER STATED THAT WAS NOT THE CASE. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATING HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CRACKED WINDSHIELD. THE DEALER FIXED THE AIR BAG PROBLEM, BUT THEY DID NOT FIX THE WINDSHIELD. *JB

VISIBILITY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FUSE FOR THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER MELTED INTO THE FUSE BOX. I CALLED VW AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT WHEN THEY MANUFACTURED THE VEHICLE THEY PLACED A 25 AMP FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX AND IT SHOULD BE CHANGED TO A 30 AMP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT I CAN DO THIS MYSELF SINCE THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PLACED ON THIS. I TOLD THEM THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I CAN GET THE FUSE OUT SINCE IT IS MELTED INTO THE FUSE BOX, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE FUSE BOX REPLACED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR SOMETHING THAT I NEVER DID. I CANNOT USE MY REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, HEATED SEATS AND MY HEATED WINDSHIELD WASHERS DON'T EVEN WORK. I HAVE WENT THE ROUNDS WITH VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY STICK TO TELLING ME THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS IN REPLACING THE FUSE BOX. ITS LIKE THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I BUILT THE CAR AND I PLACED THE WRONG FUSE. IF I DID BUILD THE CAR AND PLACE THE WRONG FUSE IN THE CAR I WOULD PAY FOR THE DAMAGES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, BUT I DID NOT BUILD IT VW BUILT IT AND I FEEL THEY NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PLACING THE WRONG FUSE IN THE FUSE BOX. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, EQUIPMENT
I OWN A 2005 VOLKSWAGEN NEW JETTA 2.5 WHICH JUST HAD AN INCIDENT OF THE AIRBAG FAULT LIGHT GOING ON. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE SERVICED AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE WHICH WAS THE REASON FOR THE LIGHT. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 58,00 MILES AND MY WARRANTY WAS ONLY EXTENDED TO 50,000 MILES, LEAVING ME TO SHOULDER THE COSTS OF A NEW SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THE SEATBELT'S INNER ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS HAVE BURNED OUT, BUT THERE ARE NO OTHER DEFECTS WITH THE BUCKLE. BECAUSE THE CIRCUIT HAS BURNED OUT, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM IS CONSIDERED UNSTABLE AND MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY DURING AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT IN NO WAY SHOULD I BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT REGARDLESS OF MY VEHICLE'S WARRANTY STATUS. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND THAT MANY VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAFETY ISSUE BUT STRANGELY VOLKSWAGEN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS DEFECT. ALTHOUGH I CANNOT FIND ANY INCIDENTS OF ACCIDENT REGARDING THIS DEFECT, I FEEL THAT A PROACTIVE APPROACH AND INVESTIGATION IS BETTER THAN SOMEONE LOSING THEIR LIFE OR LOVED ONE FROM THIS DEFECT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2005.5 VW JETTA TDI WITH A 5 SPEED MANUAL. IT HAS A SACHS CLUTCH. THE CLUTCH HAS BEEN GIVING ME ISSUES FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES. IT FINALLY FAILED ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK IN RUSH HOURS TRAFFIC AND DISABLED ME. I WAS ABLE TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AVOID INJURY ON I-96 IN NOVI MICHIGAN. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BTY THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY ARE NOT HELPING OUT THE CONSUMERS. THEY HAVE A TSB ISSUED ON NOV. 7, 2007 #03 07 01. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET VW TO OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM AND HELP US OUT? IT IS GOING TO COST ME $3,000 FOR THE REPAIR NOT TO MENTION I WAS LUCKY TO AVOID INJURY ON A BUSY HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. PERHAPS THE NEXT PERSON WILL NOT BE SO LUCKY? *TR
