2015 Volkswagen Jetta

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO GOSSETT VOLKSWAGEN GERMANTOWN (7420 WINCHESTER RD, MEMPHIS, TN 38125, (901) 405-4909) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW BATTERY WAS NEEDED FOR THE KEY REMOTE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR AFTER THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ONCE THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AND OPERATE PROPERLY. DAYS LATER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY OPERATE WHEN THE CONTACT DROVE IN THE EMERGENCY START FEATURE MODE, AND THE "NO KEY" WARNING INDICATOR WOULD FLASH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING; HOWEVER, EVERY TIME SHE TOUCHED A FEATURE ON THE STEERING WHEEL, A PINGING NOISE WOULD SOUND AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD FLASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AND THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. SPIRIT AUTO CENTER OF RENTON (330 SUNSET BLVD N, RENTON, WA 98057, (425) 226-6113) DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT DID NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE TIMING BELT TENSIONER WENT BAD CAUSING THE TIMING CHAIN TO JUMP TIME AT 72K MILES. THIS DID NOT CAUSE ANY INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE BUT DID COST A TON OF MONEY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN OLDER JETTA'S, BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE NEWER MODELS JUST HAVEN'T BEEN GIVEN ENOUGH TIME TO SCREW UP. IT ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP REPLACED DUE TO FAILURE. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WOULD NOT START.

AT 75,355 MILES MY JETTA THAT I PURCHASED 8 MONTHS EARLIER SUDDENLY DIED. I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH ON THE FREEWAY HEADED TO DALLAS WHEN SUDDENLY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY CAR SLOWED TO A STOP. LIKE A COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN ON YOU. MY CAR WOULD NOT START. OR EVEN MAKE A SOUND. THE DEALERSHIP ASSESSED THE DAMAGE AND TOLD ME OIL HAD BEEN LEAKING INTERNALLY INTO THE ENGINE AND I'D NEED A NEW ONE, IT WOULD COST ABOUT 10K. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 28K MILES. PURCHASED CERTIFIED, ALL MAINTENANCE DONE AT VW. NO ONE WANTS TO HELP. NO BUY BACK. NO TRADE IN ASSISTANCE. NO APOLOGY. THE MANAGER HASN'T EVEN CALLED ME BACK. GEORGIA DOESN'T HAVE USED CAR LEMON LAWS. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS EVERY FEW MONTHS BUT BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT RELATED TO THE ENGINE, IT'S NO ONES FAULT BUT MINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO CONSTANTLY PRESS THE START BUTTON IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WERE RIPPLES IN THE CHARGING SYSTEM, LEAKAGE IN THE TRANSMISSION, AND LEAKAGE FROM THE TURBO THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHUTTER GRILL NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. *TT VW REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANICS DIAGNOSE AND TO DARK VW SLATES NOT HAPPENING. DEFECT TIRES, WINDOWS, SMELL FROM HEATER DETECT SHOCKS, SHUTS. RADIO GETS HOT, VW WAS TOLD SHUTTER GNULL BUT CANNOT DIAGNOISE THE PROBLEM AND STARTING PROBLEM AND KEY SYSTEM VW HEADQUARTERS HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF ALL ISSUES. TO DATE CAR WILL NOT START NUMEROUS TIMES. CONSUMER TURBO, NOISE IN THE ENGINE, LEAKS, VW FAILED TO DIAGNOISE/ OUTSIDE MECHANIC DIAGNOSE IT. *JB

FOR THE PAST WEEK NOW MY KEY HAS BEEN GETTING STOCKED IN THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS ON, I'VE BEEN WIGGLING THE KEY BACK AND FORTH UNTIL IT COMES OUT BUT TODAY WHEN I GOT HOME FROM WORK PUT THE CAR IN PARK TRYING TO TAKE OUT THE KEY IT WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL I HAD TO DRIVE TO A SHOP AND THEY ENDING UP TAKING OFF THE CASING AROUND THE STARRING WHEEL AND I BELIEVED THEY KNOCKED ON THE IGNITION IT SELF AND THE KEY CAME OUT HE LUBRICATED THE KEY AND THE IGNITION BY THE TIME I GOT BACK HOME THEY KEY STILL DIDNT COME OUT EASILY I HAS TO ROCK IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT CAME OUT.

ACCELERATION FALLS FLAT UNEXPECTEDLY OFF THE LINE. EVER SINCE THE RE-PROGRAM OF THE TDI AFFECTED VEHICLES THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE QUICKLY AT FIRST WHEN GIVEN GOOD THROTTLE (70%+), BUT THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN AT 30-40MPH OR SO IT WILL TOTALLY FALL FLAT ALL OF A SUDDEN, AND DANGEROUSLY SO. IT JUST COMPLETELY LOSES POWER, AND BEING A DIESEL, IT DECELERATES FAIRLY QUICKLY. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TIMES WHERE IT'S HAPPENED, SO MUCH SO, I KNOW BETTER THAN TO EVEN TRY ANYMORE. WHEN PULLING OUT IN CHICAGO TRAFFIC THIS CAN DEFINITELY BITE YOU IN THE REAR. IT ALMOST SEEMS WORSE IN 'SPORT' MODE ALSO. I SOLD THESE CARS FOR ALMOST 8YRS AND I NEVER DROVE ONE THAT ACTED LIKE THIS. I THINK THEY NEED NEW PROGRAMS, THE CURRENT ONES ARE NOT ONLY WEAK, BUT DANGEROUS.

MY VEHICLE STARTS TO STALL OUT WHILE EITHER PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC OR WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CAR DOES NOT STALL OUT COMPLETELY BUT FOR 4 SECONDS + THE CAR WILL BE NON RESPONSIVE TO THE GAS AND THE TACHOMETER GOES TO 0 WHICH WHEN PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF SOMEONE WITH THE CAR SITTING IDLE WHEN ITS SUPPOSED TO BE MOVING IS VERY SCARY. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND LAST OCCURANCE HAPPENED TODAY.
