2007 Volkswagen Jetta

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE DEFECT WAS REMEDIED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAD MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED REPAIRING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,100.

MY VW JETTAS SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG CONSTANTLY COMES ON WHEN I START THE CAR TELLING ME THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG AND IT WILL NOT DEPLOY. PROBLEM FIRST STARTED BACK IN 2008(BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW) AND WHEN I CONTACTED VW FOR REPAIR THEY TOLD ME THAT NONE OTHERS HAD THIS ISSUE AND THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. WHEN I STARTED DOING RESEARCH I'VE FOUND THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT THEIR VW AIRBAG SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THAT THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY IN A CRASH. *TR

MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR DOESN'T LOCK, THE DOOR LATCH IS OUT. THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT STATES THAT EVENTUALLY MY DRIVERS DOOR LATCH IS GOING TO GO OUT AS WELL. TWO CAR DOORS DO NOT LOCK LEAVING MY CAR AVAILABLE FOR POSSIBLE BREAK INS. CURRENTLY CAN'T LEAVE VALUABLE THINGS IN MY CAR SINCE IT WONT LOCK. CAR DOORS HAVE BEEN ACTING UP, LEAVING CERTAIN DOORS TO OPEN AND OTHERS NOT. MY PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WONT OPEN, AND CURRENTLY ONLY THE DRIVERS DOOR OPENS, THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUE CHANGES OFTEN AND CERTAIN DOORS WILL LOCK AND THE NEXT DAY IT CHANGES AGAIN. CALLED MANUFACTURE INFORMED ME NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. CALLED MY DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. CAR CURRENTLY ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY, BOUGHT IT WITHOUT A WARRANTY. STILL MAKING PAYMENTS AND NOT HAVING A CAR THAT WILL LOCK AND LET ME IN, IS AN ISSUE. *TR

I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON FEW WEEKS AGO THEN THE SHAFTS' LIGHTS STARTED TURNING ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME (P-R-N-D). THE CAR WAS MOVING AND A KNOCKING SOUND STARTED WHEN THE WEATHER GETS HOT. I TOOK IT TO COUPLE OF CAR SHOP SERVICES AND NON WAS ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE THE PROBLEM BUT RATHER, THEY OFFERED TO CHANGE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION FOR +4,500 DOLLARS SO THAT THEY WOULD WORK IT SIMPLY WITH A GOOD PROFIT! WHILE DRIVING EARLIER TODAY, THERE WAS A VERY WEIRD SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND I PLANED TO TAKE IT TO VW SERVICES SO THAT THEY'D TAKE A LOOK AT IT. UNFORTUNATELY, FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR STOPPED MOVING AND I HAD TO PULL UP. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT VW IS CALLING VW JETTA 2006-2009, ENGINE 2.01 FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON. THOUGH, MY CAR IS 2.5 ENGINE BUT HAPPENED TO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. I'M TOWING THE CAR TOMORROW MORNING AND I'LL TAKE IT TO VW SERVICES AND HOPEFULLY THEY WILL CONSIDER THIS INCIDENT FOR THE 2.5L CARS ALSO. *TR

A LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD WITH THE ICON OF THE AIRBAG. I LOOKED IT UP AND FOUND THAT IT WAS A WARNING LIGHT TELLING ME THAT THE SENSORS IN THE SEAT THAT DETECT SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT WERE FAULTY AND COULD RESULT IN AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT. OTHER OWNERS OF VW JETTAS FROM 2007 AND YEARS BEFORE AND AFTER HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ALTHOUGH MANY OWNERS, INCLUDING MYSELF, THINK THERE SHOULD BE. *TR

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
