2014 Volkswagen Jetta Complaint Log

CAR WAS ON, STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND VEHICLE STALLED - ENGINE SHUT OFF. TWO DIFFERENT TIMES ON AUGUST 26, 2017.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, WHEN TRYING TO CUT THE CAR OFF

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN PARK, BUT ENGINE WAS RUNNING. I WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT AND REACHED OVER TO TURN CAR OFF WITH KEY. I TURNED KEY TO TURN CAR OFF AND CAR ROLLED FORWARD 50 FEET RUNNING INTO A ROCK ENCASED RAISED FLOWER BED SUSTAINING $5000 WORTH OF DAMAGE.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY ON A STREET.

MY JETTA'S FUEL RAIL IS LEAKING AROUND THE SEAL TO THE FUEL INJECTOR(S) AND IS CURRENTLY LEAKING FUEL INTO MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I BROUGHT THIS IN 16 MONTHS AGO AND MY DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. I HAVE RECENTLY BROUGHT IT BACK IN AND FOUND OUT THE 2014 JETTA WAS RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT THE DEALER IS CLAIMING MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS?

THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES, SIZE: 205/55/R16 91H. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE CONTACT FELT A VIBRATION AND STATED THAT THE TIRES WOULD SKID WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. IN ADDITION, BOTH FRONT TIRES LOST PRESSURE. IN ADDITION, THE TREAD SEPARATED IN CHUNKS FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. THE TIRES DID NOT GRIP THE ROAD AND SLIPPED WHEN MAKING TURNS. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,945 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WHEN MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE VW EMBLEM ON THE STEERING WHEEL POPPED OPEN TO THE LEFT AND THE AIRBAG PUSHED IT INTO MY LEFT ARM WHICH CAUSED A BURN AND MY ARM TO BLEED. I KNOW HAVE A GOOD SCAR ON MY LEFT ARM. IF THAT EMBLEM WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN THERE OR WOULD HAVE MAYBE OPENED DOWNWARDS I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH A SMALL AIRBAG BURN TO THE RIGHT HAND ONLY.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, IN THE ON POSITION, REPEATEDLY, SO YOU CAN'T TURN OFF THE ENGINE. VARIOUS "BAND AID FIXES" POSTED ONLINE BY SIMILAR SUFFERERS OF THIS PROBLEM, SUCH AS PUTTING IT IN DRIVE THEN IN PARK REPEATEDLY, OR APPLYING STRONG INWARD PRESSURE WHEN TURNING THE KEY ONLY "HELP" INTERMITTENTLY. FINALLY NOTHING WORKED, AND HAD TO LEAVE IT IN PARK, IDLING AND UNLOCKED WHILE WAITING FOR A LOCKSMITH/MECHANIC TO COME REMOVE THE IGNITION, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD, NOT MECHANICALLY, BUT FOR THEFT, IN AN EMERGENCY, OR JUST GOING ABOUT THE DAY. THE VEHICLE SAT AT IDLE FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE THE LOCKSMITH COULD COME. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE JETTA, AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

PREMATURE BURNOUT ON THE LOW BEAMS. REPLACED THE BULBS 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. PASSENGER SIDE THE FIRST TIME, BOTH THE SECOND TIME (9 MONTHS) AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE AGAIN (6 MONTHS).

HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUOUSLY BURNOUT. HAVE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT EVERY 2000-2500 MILES OR LESS. SOMETIMES ONE SIDE BURNS OUT ONLY. WHEN THAT SIDE IS REPLACED, THE OTHER SIDE WILL BURNOUT IN 2 WEEKS OR LESS TIME UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT THAT IS KNOWN TO VW.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

IGNITION KEY GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND CANNOT TURN THE CAR OFF. IT ALSO STICKS WHEN OFF AND CANNOT GET THE CAR STARTED. IN A WEB SEARCH I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE COST TO REPLACE IS ~$800 THIS IS A REPEATED PROBLEM AND HAPPENS ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS. VW CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.

KEY STUCK IN RUNNING POSITION. CAR WILL NOT STOP RUNNING. CANNOT TURN CAR OFF

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF ENGINE.

CAN NOT TURN IGNITION TO "OFF" POSITION WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING. CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK L, PARKED IN GROCERY STORE FL T SURFACE PARKING LOT. DROVE CAR BACK HOME,TRIED AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. CAR WAS STATIONARY.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN A FRONT-END COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL WAS NOT RECALLED AND MAYBE SHOULD BE??? VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. THE ENTIRE FRONT END IS SMASHED IN. NO AIRBAGS ACTIVATED - NEITHER DRIVER NOR PASSENGERS SIDE.

DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING. BROKE UNDER NORMAL STEERING WHEEL OPERATION WHILE PARKING VEHICLE AT LOW SPEED, THIS IN TURN CAUSED STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS TO BECOME INOPERABLE AND ACTIVATED AIR-BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT.

MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. MY CAR WAS MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT MY VEHICLE AT A FAST SPEED

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. CANNOT TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THE KEY WILL NOT RETURN TO THE OFF POSITION.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK ON 4/14/17 AT 6:15AM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME WHEN I WAS DRIVING 60MPH. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE NO MORE THAN 40MPH. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE AND HAD TO PULL TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AS OTHER CARS TRAVELED AT HIGH SPEEDS. I MANAGED TO DRIVE TO THE SHOULDER. I ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED AND DRIVE BUT MY VEHICLE DID NOT ADVANCE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE VW DEALERSHIP IN SAN BERNARDINO, CA. I WAS FORCED TO PAY $135 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REASON MY CAR DID NOT WORK WAS BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION HAD LEAKED ALL THE OIL. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE COOLING UNIT FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND LINES HAD TO BE REPLACED. I DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUT TO PAY $1086.00 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. AFTER REVIEWING THE NHTSA WEBSITE I CAME ACROSS NHTSA CAMPAIGN 14V182000. I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR OF THE CAMPAIGNED AND SHE SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. ALL THE COMPONENTS MENTIONED IN SUCH RECALL WERE THE ONES THAT APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL VEHICLES ALSO MATCHED MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL AND I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH COST $5703. MY VEHICLE HAD 99107 MILES WHEN IT WENT IN FOR REPAIRS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED AND TEST DROVED BY THE SENIOR SHOP FOREMAN AND IT HAD GONE THROUGH A RIGOROUS DRIVE TEST TO ENSURE MY VEHICLE WAS BACK TO NORMAL. AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP MY CAR HAD 99108 MILES. HOW CAN THE SHOP FOREMAN TEST DRIVE MY VEHICLE RIGOROUSLY FOR 1 MILE? THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID MY CAR WAS LIKE NEW AGAIN AS I DROVE AWAY THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO PAY $135 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AGAIN. CODEP0741IS STILL DISPLAYING

REPEATED AND FREQUENT HEADLIGHT FAILURE/BURN OUT. CHRONIC ISSUE. BOTH HEADLAMPS.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY AFTER IT WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE FAILURE RECURRED IN AUGUST OF 2019. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND MULTIPLE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BURKE VOLKSWAGEN (LOCATED AT 519 STONE HARBOR BLVD, CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, NJ 08210, (609) 465-6000) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V615000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLASHED. THE DRIVER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND BACK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE INJURIES TO THE OTHER VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WERE UNKNOWN. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO THE COLLISION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FLASHING INSTRUMENTAL PANEL LIGHTING AND INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE. AT THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DEFECTIVE AIRBAG CONTROL MODULE. POWER IS CUT TO THE CONTROL MODULE AND AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT

THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. NO VEHICLES AROUND AND NOTHING OVERHEAD TO IMPACT THE GLASS. I HAD TO PAY $1600 OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS.

FLASHING GLOW PLUG LIGHT WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN DIED IN TRAFFIC, WOULD NOT RESTART. DEALER DIAGNOSED: DIESEL HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. PUMP DEBRIS CONTAMINATES FUEL SYSTEM, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF FUEL INJECTORS, LINES, LOW PRESSURE PUMP, AND CLEANING FUEL TANK. ESTIMATED COST $6,700.

HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ON DIM. THEN TAILIGHTS WENT OUT. WE'VE HAD THE CAR 2 1/2 YEARS AND THIS IS SECOND TIME THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE WENT OUT LIKE THIS. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, THE BLUETOOTH ALSO WASN'T WORKING THE WAY IT HAD PREVIOUSLY. ALSO, THE WINDOWS WILL SOMETIMES NOT RESPOND PROPERLY. THEY WILL GO THE OPPOSITE WAY THAT I AM DIRECTING IT TO DO. (PUSH FOR UP AND IT GOES DOWN, FOR EXAMPLE). THESE INCIDENCES HAPPEN BOTH WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AND STATIONARY.

HEADLAMPS AND FOG LAMPS BURNING OUT. MAY BE BAD 173 OR 109 RELAY OR WIRE COMING FROM FUSE BOX, FUSE 16 IS TOO SMALL. MAY ALSO BE BAD SOFTWARE IN HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE.

THE CAR BROKE DOWN JUST AFTER A DASH LIGHT CAME ON; LITERALLY JUST STOPPED RUNNING. THE CAR WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT TURNOVER. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF HARMS WAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED. THE GENTLEMAN I SPOKE WITH STATED THEY DID NOT EVEN RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE THEY CHECK THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FIRST. WHEN THEY CHECKED IT, THEY FOUND "METAL SHAVINGS" AND QUOTED A COMPLETE REBUILD OF THE SYSTEM BECAUSE "THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW FAR THE METAL SHAVINGS" TRAVELED. THE CAR IS OUT OF THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY BUT THE MECHANIC STATED HE USUALLY SEES EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. NOT ONLY DOES THIS CAR FALL UNDER THE EMISSIONS LAWSUIT, NOW THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CONDENSATION BUILT UP IN THE INTER COOLING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS OFFERED TO PURCHASE AN UPGRADE KIT TO PREVENT THE FAILURE FROM REOCCURRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

2014 JETTA TSI: OPENING & CLOSING DOORS, GLOVE BOX, AND TRUNK CAUSES THE FUEL PUMP TO ENGAGE, YOU CAN EVEN HEAR IT. THIS CAUSES FUMES TO ACCUMULATE IN MY GARAGE TO A HIGH LEVEL. THE FUEL PUMP RECALL HAS BEEN DONE PER DEALERSHIP. IMO THE FUEL PUMP SHOULDN'T ENGAGE UNTIL THE KEY IS TURNED IN THE IGNITION. IT IS NOT A FUEL LEAK, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE. IT IS A FUEL LEAK, IN THE PRESENCE OF OPENING & CLOSING DOORS, GLOVE BOX, AND TRUNK. I HAVE DISCUSSED WITH VW AND THEIR OPINION IS THAT "THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS". THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY SINGLE CAR GARAGE AND NOT RUNNING. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASES.

VOLKSWAGEN 38B9/9V RECALL MY VOLKSWAGEN JETTA HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME ISSSUE THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR. I'VE TAKEN IT TO VW DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. AFTER RESEARCHING I'VE FOUND THAT THE RECALL AFFECTS 2014 JETTAS WITH A 1.8T ENGINE, WITH THE QUALIFYING MONTH AND YEAR OF MANUFACTURE DATE (APRIL, 2014). MY CAR HAS A MANUFACTURE DATE OF APRIL 2014, ALTHOUGH MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I AM WONDERING WHY IT WASN'T LISTED, AS THE DATES MATCH UP AND THE ISSUE IS EXACTLY THE SAME. THIS IS CAUSING A MAJOR ISSUE IN MY CAR AND IS CAUSING A LEAK THAT CAN RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE, WHICH IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR IS HAVING SEVERE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS NOW AND HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED NUMEROUS TIMES AT RED LIGHTS, WITHOUT ALLOWING ME TO EVEN PUT IT IN PARK, WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE IN A FEW ACCIDENTS. THE RPMS ARE GOING CRAZY, I AM EXPERIENCING ROUGH IDLING, TROUBLE IN SHIFTING GEARS, AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN LEAKING AND OVERHEATING. IT ALSO HAS TROUBLE SOMETIMES ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY OR ON CITY STREETS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE COOLANT PUMP FAILED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ASSESSED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN LIQUID SEALANT WAS APPLIED TO THE COOLANT PUMP. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FLUSHED THE COOLANT PUMP AND, AFTER TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE, A BROWN FOAM EXITED FROM THE COOLANT PUMP SEALING. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE LIQUID SEALANT (BROWN FOAM-LIKE MATERIAL) CREATED A BLOCKAGE WITHIN THE HEATER CORE AND CAUSED THE HEATER TO FAIL WITHIN THE VEHICLE IN COLD TEMPERATURES. VOLKSWAGEN OF DOWNTOWN CHICAGO (1111 NORTH CLARK STREET, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60610, (312) 614-0196) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE VIA VOICEMAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

HEATING FOR CAR CABIN. MY CAR IS A 2014 AND THIS YEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER IN CHICAGO. MY HEATER GAVE OUT. I HAVE NO HEAT. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME DEFAULT PART ON THE VW PASSAT TDI BUT NOT FOR THE VW JETTA TDI, EVEN THOUGHT THE PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION ARE THE EXACT SAME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING SLUGGISH AND WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE IN ANY GEAR. IN ADDITION, VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE OVER A CERTAIN RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE DRASTICALLY DROVE SLOWLY AND THEN RACED INTO THIRD GEAR. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTION MAY BE AT FAULT, BUT PROVIDED NO SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE O-RING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IF THAT DID NOT PROVIDE A SOLUTION, THE TRANSMISSION MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE, THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLT THAT CONNECTED TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING FLUID. THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,600.

FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. LOCKS ON THE "ON" OR "OFF" POSITION.WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IT IS HARD TO TURN IT ON OR OFF BECAUSE IT LOCKS.

LOW BEAM ISSUE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY HEADLIGHT NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY KEEP GOING OUT WITHOUT THE BULB BEING BAD

THE LOW BEAMS KEEP BURNING OUT. I REPLACED THEM AND THEY WORKED FINE. LAST TIME I WENT TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM THE BULB WASN'T BURNED OUT. CHANGED IT OUT ANYWAY BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE LOWBEAM STILL WON'T COME ON. I'VE CHANGED THE BULBS 4 TIMES IN THIS CAR ALREADY.

I PURCHASED MY 2014 JETTA SE 1.8T. DEALER ON MARCH 24 TH 2014. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL . I NEVER WENT BACK GOT SERVICE THERE HOWEVER THE SAME DEALER REPORTED THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2014/RCMN-14V182-3299 MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ISSUES 1 WITH THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WHICH WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FUEL RAIL RECALL AND CAUSE MY CAR TO SHOWS SIGNS OF S FAILING TURBO WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED . HOWEVER THIS JETTA A6. IS PZVE VEHICLE AND COVERED UP TO 12 -15 YEARS 150,000 MILES THE FIRST CLAIM I FILED WAS NOT HONORED BY VW. AND I WASH TOLD I COULD DRIVE MY CAR W/O ISSUE. THEN MY TRANSMISSION. FAILS AND I AM CERTAIN MY FUEL PROBLEM MY ENGINE LIKE MY EPC LIGHT AND ALL THE ABOVE ARE RELATED. BUT IN THIS CASE THE FACT THAT I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT THIS RECALL AND IT DOES SHOW ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS 3 DAYS AFTER I DROVE OFF THE LOT I WAS LATER INFORMED BY FORMER TECHS THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED WHICH MAKES SELFIE AS I NEVER RETURNED TO THAT LOT UNTIL 10/28/2016. SO IT WAS NOT DONE. I HAVE BEEN APPROACHED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING BEING TOLD THAT S FLAME EXISTED UNDER MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING BUT I DID NOT PUT IT TO ANYTHING NOW I REALIZE AND FEEL AS THOUGH I WAS SOLD A LEMON OR CAR CONTAINING FAULTS THAT WERE UNFORESEEN CAR LITERALLY JUST QUIT AFTER DRIVING OFF MCKENNA LOT AFTER SERVICE DTLA VW CLAIMS I MAY HAVE A FAILING TURBO ERROR CODE READ BUT NEVER ADDRESSED UNTIL AFTER I LEFT W CAR SERVICE PERFORMED BY VW PACIFIC LEFT ME PULLING OFF VW LOT. W 1/4 FILLED PULLING OFF VW LOT. THEN CALLED VWCREDIT CLAIMS TOLD TO GO TO MY DEALER WHERE I WAS TOLD LEAVE WHEN I BEVSN UPSET ABOUT MY INFO NOT BEING IN THE DEALERSHIP SYSTEM HOW DID THEY PREFORM. IT

UPON STARTING THE CAR IT SUDDENLY BEGAN ILLUMINATED FIVE (5) WARNING LIGHTS WITHIN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER: TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, ANTI-SLIP REGULATION, AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, PROBLEM WITH STEERING, AND AIRBAG AND SAFETY BELT PRETENSIONER SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. THE CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY DRIVEN TO THE DEALER. FROM THESE WARNINGS, NAPLETON'S OF ORLANDO SURMISED THE PROBLEM TO BE A DEFECTIVE LEFT/REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR!? I DECLINED ANY WORK AND TOOK MY DOUBTS TO VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER CARE. AFTER CUSTOMER CARE INVOLVED DAVID MAUS VOLKSWAGEN OF ORLANDO (ANOTHER VW DEALER IN TOWN?) - THE FEEDBACK GIVEN WAS THAT YES, THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CAN GENERATE THESE 5-WARNINGS. UNBEKNOWNST TO ME I LEARNED THAT IF MY AIR BAG WARNING IS ILLUMINATED THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED. I WAS NOT ADVISED OF THIS AT THE TIME I LEFT THE DEALER. NEVERTHELESS, I FEEL THAT THE WARNINGS & INDICATORS SYSTEMS NEEDS A WARNING INDICATOR FOR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS!? MOREOVER, THIS WARNING SYSTEM IS MISLEADING AND CREATES A POTENTIAL FOR DEATH OR INJURY TO THE UNSUSPECTING MOTORIST THAT IS LED TO BELIEVE THAT THE REAL PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE 5-IDIOT LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD! I FIND THE 5-LIGHT EVENT CORRELATION TO BE DECEPTIVE AND DEMANDING OF DOUBT. MY EXPECTATION IS FOR A RECALL AND VW TO FIX THE WARNING SYSTEM. A FIX TO A CRITICAL SENSOR LOCATED DOWN AT THE WHEEL LEVEL NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. INCIDENTALLY, ONLY AFTER MY CUSTOMER CARE EXCALLATION DID VOLKSWAGEN AGREE TO PAY 100% PARTS AND LABOR. APPARENTLY, AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LEFT/REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSOR, THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE OFF AND THE CAR APPEARS TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER (VOLKSWAGEN OF DOWNTOWN LA, LOCATED AT 1900 S FIGUEROA ST LOS ANGELES, CA 90007) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,400.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2014 AND I'VE KEPT UP WITH ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TO DATE. I DRIVE AN AVERAGE 30 MILES PER DAY DURING THE WORK WEEK AND TRAVEL UP TO 140 MILES EVERY TWO WEEKS OR SO FOR CUSTODIAL EXCHANGES. THIS PAST WEEKEND (AUGUST 13, 2016), WHILE AT A ROUTINE PIT STOP FOR GAS MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT. I HAD PARKED AT THE GAS STATION RIGHT OFF THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I WENT TO RESTART MY VEHICLE IT WOULDN'T MOVE. THE VEHICLE WOULD START AND SHIFT INTO DRIVE, BUT THE WHEELS RESPONDED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BACK IN 2013 WHEN THE VW JETTA WENT ON THE MARKET, BUT THE RECALL DID NOT INVOLVE MY VIN. THE RECALL WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO ME AT THE TIME I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, NOR WAS I EVER NOTIFIED OF IT BEING A POTENTIAL ISSUE. I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY WHEN I WAS LEFT STRANDED 70 MILES FROM HOME AND 45 MILES FROM THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP. MY RESEARCHED TURNED UP THIS STATEMENT: "AN ELECTRIC MALFUNCTION COULD OCCUR IN THE GEARBOX POWER SUPPLY BASED ON THE SYNTHETIC GEARBOX OIL IF THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE, COUPLED WITH A HIGH PROPORTION OF STOP-AND-GO DRIVING," SAID MARK GILLIES, A VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA SPOKESMAN, IN A PHONE CONVERSATION. "THE CAR WORKS, BUT YOU LOSE DRIVE." MY VEHICLE HAS 51,850 MILES ON IT, SO IT WAS COVERED UNDER VW'S 5YR-60K WARRANTY. IT'S BEEN SITTING AT THE VW DEALERSHIP FOR 3 DAYS WHILE THEY COORDINATE ON REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE POWER TRAIN. THE REMAINING ESTIMATED TIME FOR REPLACEMENT IS 2-3 DAYS. I LIVE IN AUSTIN, TX WHERE HOT, HUMID, AND STOP-AND-GO ARE A ROUTINE PART OF LIFE.

THE KEY CONSTANTLY GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND I CANNOT TURN OFF THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE IN MOTION, ONE OCCURRENCE ON CITY STREET W/BRAKING AND ONE OCCURRENCE ON HIGHWAY, NO BRAKING WITH LARGE BUMP, NO TURNS, ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS UNLOCKED SIMULTANEOUSLY AND DOORS OPENED. DEALER COULD NOT FIND FAULT CODES OR HAVE THIS HAPPEN WHEN THEY DROVE THE CAR. VW POSITION IS THAT "THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE". NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION & THERE IS NO PROOF, BUT IT DID HAPPEN TWICE SINCE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JUNE 2014.
