2012 Volkswagen Jetta Complaint Log

AS I WENT TO CHANGE GEARS INTO REVERSE I HEARD A VERY HARD THUMP, THEN INTO DRIVE AND THE THUMP GOT LOUDER AND THE WHOLE ENGINE SHIFTED FORWARD. NOW IT SOUNDS AS IF EVERYTHING ( MOTOR ) IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT THE VEHICLE .

WHEN THE WEATHER GETS COLD AROUND 35 DEGREES AND LOWER, THE WIPERS STOP WORKING. THEY ARE NOT STUCK TO WINDSHIELD. VERY DANGEROUS AND HAPPENS RANDOMLY ON IN THE WINTER.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR NORMALLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND I PUSHED THE CLUTCH IN AND IT WENT STRAIGHT THE FLOOR THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS THE SLAVE CYLINDER A KNOW FAILURE POINT. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IO COULDN'T PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR AGAIN AND WAS IN NEUTRAL ON THE HIGHWAY. VOLKSWAGEN NEEDS TO FIX THIS ON THIS YEAR JETTAS.

MISCOMMUNICATION FROM COMPUTER TO ABS SYSTEM CAUSING THE ABS TO ENGAGE WHEN BRAKING NORMALLY DRIVING UP TO AN INTERSECTION CAUSING VEHICLE TO NOT STOP WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE.

2012 VW JETTA WAGON THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW AND ALWAYS HOUSED IN A GARAGE UNTIL FEBRUARY 2020. WATER LEAKED INTO CAR INTERIOR CARPET AND SPARE TIRE WELL. NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF RECALL DUE TO SUNROOF LEAKING. REPAIR WAS $900 OUT OF MY POCKET

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION AND I CANNOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE.

KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. IT IS UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR.

JUST BOUGHT THIS VECHILE USED, WITH 136K MILES. ON INITIAL DRIVE, WHICH LASTED AROUND 30 MINUTES, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. NOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE ITS SLIPPING GEARS AND SLAMMING WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS COMING TO A STOP. OBVIOUSLY CAME WITH NO WARRANTY, DIDN'T THINK I'D NEED TO PURCHASE THAT ON A CAR 8 YEARS OLD. BASIC ASSESSMENT, TRANSMISSION ISSUES WHILE IN MOTION AND COMING TO A STOP.

IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER STICKS WHEN TURNING OFF AND ON. THE STICKING CAUSED KEY TO BRAKE WHICH DAMAGED THE IGNITION AND THE TUMBLERS INSIDE.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION AND VEHICLE KEEPS RUNNING. TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE KEY IS ABLE TO BE REMOVED WITH ADDITIONAL PRESSURE AND TAPPING ON THE KEY AND IGNITION. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT AND A RECALL OR CAMPAIGN SHOULD BE ISSUED BY VW

I HAVE A RECALL FOR THE 37M2-MICRO SWITCH. I AM CONCERNED, THE VW DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE ANY DAYS TO LET ME SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I NEED HELP PLEASE, I HOPE IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE.

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR WON'T TURN OFF AND KEEPS RUNNING. I LOOKED IT UP AND FOUND SEVERAL VW JETTA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY VW. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SEEMS TO BE COMMON. I ORDERED THE PART ON LINE AND WAS TOLD OF A NATIONAL SHORTAGE., THE CAR IS STUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY.

UNABLE TO TURN KEY TO TURN OFF IGNITION. CAR IS IN THE VOLKSWAGEN SERVICE CENTER FOR THE THREE WEEKS FOR REPAIR.

I HAD TO HAVE ALL FOUR SPRINGS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE BROKEN. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH VW. WHY ARE THEY NOT ADDRESSING THIS? THE CAR HAD ABOUT 89 THOUSAND MILES ON IT.

THE THROW OUT BEARING SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AS I WAS GOING 80 MPH DOWN THE FREEWAY, TO REPLACE IT I DISCOVERED THAT THE SWAY BARS END LINKS WERE RUSTED SOLID AND THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN DONE 6 TIMES AND BROKEN EVERY TIME BUT THIS LAST TIME WITHIN A MONTH

THE IGNITION WON'T TURN OFF, CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO TURNIT OFF BY APPLYING PRESSURE ON THE KEY AND TAPPING THE END OF THE KEY WITH PLIERS. I FOUND THIS SOLUTION ON THE INTERNET FROM OTHER JETTA OWNERS. VOLKSWAGEN KNOWS ABOUT THIS COMMON ISSUE AND REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THE IGNITION SWITCH WHICH COSTS HUNDREDS OF DOLLAR TO OWNERS. *TR

CAR RAN HOT FIRST TIME AIR CONDITIONING GOT HOT CAR WAS GOING ANY FASTER WITH SMOKE FROM ENGINE. NO INDICATOR AT ALL CAR WAS RUNNING HOT. DEALERSHIP STATED THE BLOCK MESS UP. ADJUSTER CAME STATED THEROMAST WHICH NOT COVER WARRANTY FOR MY CAR. WHY WAS I NEVER AWARE MY CAR HAD THESE ISSUES

BROKEN LEFT FRONT & LEFT REAR COIL SPRINGS. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS WAS CREATED BY RUNNING OVER ANYTHING. SERVICE ASSOCIATE BLAMED IT ON RUST DUE TO SNOW, ICE, DEBRIS BUILD UP. HARD TO BELIEVE A COIL SPRING WILL RUST THROUGH IN 8YRS. IT APPEARS VW HAS HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH COIL SPRINGS ON VEHICLES. I CHECKED WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC & HE AGREED THEY WERE BROKEN. FRONT WHEELS ARE OUT OF ALIGNMENT & SQUEAL WHEN LIGHTLY PRESSING ON BRAKE. CAR CAN'T BE ALIGNED UNTIL REPAIR IS MADE. *TR

KEY IGNITION FAILURE. KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF ENGINE. VEHICLE WONT TURN OFF AND KEY WONT COME OUT OF IGNITION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT'S SON OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START-UP THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANCIRA VOLKSWAGEN IN SAN ANTONIO LOCATED AT 6125 BANDERA RD, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78238, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT'S SON WAS INFORMED THAT THE ABS CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RELATED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V913000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.

THE MICRO SWITCH HAD BEEN RECALLED DUE TO BEING ABLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT WITHOUT IT BEING IN PARK. I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE 2 APPOINTMENTS TO GET FIXED AND THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS CANCELING THEM AND MOVING IT FARTHER AND FARTHER BACK. *TR

THE KEY IS GETTING STUCK AND CAN NOT BE REMOVED. CAN NOT TURN VEHICLE ON OR OFF BECAUSE THE KEY WILL NOT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A CITY STREET. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONTINUALLY ON.

OXYGEN SENSOR CODE COMES UP, THEN ALL LIGHTS COMING ON, WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS CAR HAD A CARFAX SHEET STATING NO PROBLEM AND REPAIRS DONE BY MICHEAL AUTOMOTIVE IN FRESNO CA. NO RECALL EVER MENTIONED, NOW A YOUNG MANS FIRST CAR , NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, ONLY PICKED UP BECAUSE CAR FAX STATED IT HAD NO PROBLEMS, NOW A SAFTY CONCERN.

WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE YOU PUSH THE TRANSMISSION DOWN, LEFT AND UP ALMOST LIKE YOU ARE SHIFTING INTO 1ST (ONLY DIFFERENCE IS 1ST YOU DON'T PUSH DOWN). TODAY, AND MULTIPLE TIMES PREVIOUSLY IT SEEMS TO NOT IN REVERSE, BUT ALSO NOT IN 1ST (ALMOST LIKE IT'S BETWEEN TWO GEARS). THUS IT JUST GRINDS GEARS AND STOPS MOVING, IT DOES INITALLY MOVE BACK THEN STARTS GRINDING. I WAS IN THE IN THE MIDDLE OF PULLING THEN HAD TO THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TRY AGAIN TO GET INTO REVERSE FOR A SECOND TIME.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE 78 WEST BOUND FREEWAY, IT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD EXPLOSION. I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. IT JUST BLEW UP WITH NO EXPLANATION, NOTHING HIT IT.

GAS CAP PROBLEM WARING LIGHT ON DO TO GAS CAP AND GAS LEAKING FEUMS WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL CAN SMELL GAS WHILE DRIVING

THE CAR HAS UNDER 70,000 MILES. THE CAR NEEDS A NEED VACUUM PUMP AND ABS MODULE!!!!!!! ABS MODULE IS $2,200 DOLLARS AT THE DEALERSHIP. HOW DOES THAT BRAKE SO SOON ON A CAR?

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 3 AM I JUMPED ON THE FREEWAY AND MY VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND STARTED SPUTTERING BACK AND FORTH I WAS ABLE TO PULL ASIDE TO GET AWAY FROM THE FREEWAY THE CAR THEN SPED UP ON ITS OWN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE PEDAL TO SEE IF I COULD SLOW IT DOWN IT THEN DROVE NORMAL ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE FREEWAY BACK TOWARD MY HOME IT LOST POWER AGAIN WHILE DRIVING VERY SCARY I NOTICED AN EPC LIGHT GO ON AND OFF 2 TIMES WHILE DRIVING WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT HOME I TURNED THE CAR IN THE ON POSITION AND NOTICED THE EPC LIGHT STAYING ON THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

I NOTICED MY CAR HAS BEEN CUTTING OUT AND NOT HAVING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN A FREEWAY. ILL PUT THE PEDAL DOWN IT DIDNT MOVE. I NOTICED MY STEREO STARTED KIND OF FLASHING AS WELL. I FIGURED MAYBE IT WAS ELECTRICAL SO I STARTED LOOKING AROUND AND I OPENED UP MY TRUNK AND IT WAS 4 INCHES OF WATER WHERE MY SPARE TIRE IS. THEN I STARTED LOOKING AROUND WHERE MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF IS AND THERE'S A HUGE SPOTS OF WATER THAT'S WET. THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS TO ME WHEN I PURCHASE THE CAR AND I ASKED THEM IF THERE WAS ANY PROBLEMS OF LEAKING. I THINK IT'S MESSING UP MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND MY POWER. I FELT VERY UNSAFE WHEN I WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

Horn only occasionally works when honking and/or locking car, which increases the risk of a crash since I can’t always use my horn to alert other drivers of presence. One front headlight only occasionally works (lightbulb is not the issue), which increases the risk of a crash since other drivers may not be able to see me as well & I am not able to see the road as well in the dark. Cruise control does not work at all, which increases risk of speeding and therefore increases risk of crash. Dealer has inspected horn/headlight issue but could not determine cause. No warning signs. Issues first appeared a couple years ago.

I'M STILL CONTINUING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VAR 2012 JETTA VOLKSWAGEN. UP IN TILL RECENTLY IT WAS FIXED ON A RECALL NOTICE THAT DISPLAYED VEHICLE RIGHT ROLL EVEN IF PLACED IN PART AND IGNITION TURNED OFF !! UNFORTUNATELY IT HAPPENED TO MY SON DURING CHRISTMAS 2019. WHAT IF THERE WAS A BODY IN FROM THAT CAR. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND VOLKSWAGEN USA KNOWS IT. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS ADDRESSED OF NEW RECALL WHICH RELAYS THE SAME SAVAGENESS; IT WAS FIXED TILL WHEN ?? [XXX] THIS CAUSED ABOUT 1000-2000 DOLLARS IN DAMAGE AFTER WE HAD ALREADY FIXED THIS BUMPER WITH VOLKSWAGEN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HEAD LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN TEMPERATURE IS COLD. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND KILLING THE BATTERY. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE WITH LIGHT SWITCH BECAUSE WHEN I UNPLUG IT AT NIGHT FROM THE CAR AND RE-PLUG THE LIGHT SWITCH IN THE MORNING, IT ALL WORKS WITHOUT ANY ISSUE.

CAR DIES AT STOPS OR LOW SPEEDS.

WHILE DRIVING 45MPH, EPC AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR SUDDENLY DECELLERATED, CAUSING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME TO DRIVE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID HITTING ME. FORTUNATELY IT WAS ON A CURVE WITH ENOUGH ROOM TO AVOID A MULTI CAR ACCIDENT. THEN MY CAR ACCELERATED TO NORMAL AND I PARKED IT AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT, IT QUIETLY LOST POWER AND STALLED IN REVERSE ONLY. A FEW HOURS LATER I STARTED IT AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE OFF AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE NO ERROR CODES WERE SHOWING IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND IT SEEMED TO BE OPERATING NORMAL. SO, I DRIVE IT HOME BUT THIS INTERMITTENTLY AND SUDDENLY REOCCURS. AND EACH TIME I AM TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO (OR LIKE I'M IMAGINING IT IN OTHER WORDS). IT SEEMS THAT AFTER THE CAR SITS, WHATEVER IS WINKY, RESETS BY ITSELF OR SOMETHING...UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I AM ATTACHING A PIC OF THE EPC AND ENGINE LIGHT TO PROVE THIS HAPPENS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE OFF BY THE TIME IT GETS TO SERVICE. TOW TODAY TOOK 3 HOURS TO ARRIVE.

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND YOU CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND ONLY MY SON CAN TURN IT OFF BY PUSHING THE KEY IN A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND TURNING THE KEY JUST RIGHT. HITTING IT WITH A HAMMER CAN WORK BUT AFRAID OF BREAKING THE KEY. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. WHEN I GET GAS I CAN'T EVEN TURN THE CAR OFF OR WHEN I GO INTO A STORE IF MY SON ISN'T WITH. MY HUSBAND CANNOT DO IT EITHER. ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. P

I AM MYSTERIOUSLY LOSING BREAK FLUID, YET THERE IS NOT A SINGLE LEAK IN THE CAR. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT BREAK ISSUES AND HOW THEY SUDDENLY DO NOT WORK UP TO STANDARD. I HOWEVER HAVE ENOUGH KNOW HOW TO AT LEAST KNOW THAT THEY NEED FLUID. THE MINUTE I STARTED THE CAR AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK TO MOVE IT, THE BREAK PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. IN LESS THAN A WEEK OF ME HAVING PUT FLUID IN, CHECKING THE BREAKS, AND HAVING THEM BLEED I NEEDED FLUID AGAIN. YET THERE IS NO LEAK PRESENT IN THE SYSTEM.

I’ve been having problems with this car every since I purchased it from carvana Epc and check engine light keeps cutting on I went to Volkswagen for them to fix and for them to claim they fixed it august 2019 for my light to still light up… they also broke my heater coil which prevents my heat from blowing hot or warm air only

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BACK IN SEPTEMBER 2019 FOR AN ISSUE INVOLVING THE PARKING BRAKE UN-STICKING AND HAVING THE POTENTIAL TO ROLL AWAY AND CRASH. I HAVE STILL NOT BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT A POTENTIAL REMEDY AND FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR.

KEY DOESN'T COME OUT OF IGNITION WHEN TURNING THE ENGINE OFF

FUEL LINE LEAK. THIS LEAK IS NOT ONLY OCCURRING IN DIESEL BASED ENGINES. WHILE DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AS IT APPEARED THERE WAS OBVIOUS STRESS ON THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL & THE CAR STRUGGLED TO MAINTAIN MOMENTUM PRIOR TO THE STALL. SEEMED AS IF THE CAR WAS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED TO DISCOVER THERE IS A GAS LEAK DETECTED AFTER A PRESSURE TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE HAS 89K MILES ON IT.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND THE CLOSEST VW DEALERSHIP IS ABOUT 80MILES FROM HERE. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS COULD BE A RECALL DEFECT OR WAS IT SOMETHING THAT I DID. I DO HAVE A CHILD AND I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN. I DON'T GO OUT OF TOWN AS IT IS DUE TO MY TIRES LOSING AIR AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON.

KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED. COULD NOT TURN CAR OFF. CAR WAS STATIONARY AT TIME, BUT IN WORK PARKING LOT. COULD NOT TURN CAR OFF. NEEDED NEW KEY, NEW KEY CYLINDER, AND KEY CYLINDER HOUSING. HAD TO HAVE RENTAL CAR FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS.

I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS 2012 JETTA AND THE HORN DOES NOT WORK. IT DOES NOT SOUND WHEN YOU LOCK THE DOORS OR HIT THE PANIC BUTTON ON THE KEY PAD. THERE WAS A RECALL ON SOME MODELS FOR THE HORN, BUT MINE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE INCLUDED IN ON THAT RECALL.
