2016 Volkswagen Jetta

I BOUGHT MY CAR CERTIFIED PREOWNED FROM A VW DEALERSHIP IN JUNE WITH 20,000 MILES. WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASE, ACCESSORY LIGHTS BEGAN ILLUMINATING RANDOMLY AND THEN SWITCHING BACK OFF. IT IS ALWAYS THE SAME SET OF LIGHTS- ABS, TIRE PRESSURE, AIRBAG, TRACTION/ANTI-SKID, AND STEERING WHEEL LIGHT ALL COME ON AT THE SAME TIME. NOW THEY COME ON EVERY TIME I DRIVE AND NEVER TURN OFF. I DON'T NOTICE A DIFFERENCE IN THE DRIVING, BUT THE LIGHTS ARE WORRISOME. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE WHERE OCCASIONALLY WHEN I ACCELERATE THE CAR FAILS TO "PICK UP" OR ACCELERATE FOR LIKE 5 SECONDS, AND THEN IT CATCHES AND THE CAR CONTINUES TO RUN SMOOTHLY FROM THEN ON... BUT I'M UNSURE IF THEY'RE RELATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, MULTIPLE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAPITAL VOLKSWAGEN (LOCATED AT 3963 W TENNESSEE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL 32304, (850) 692-5609) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY THING IS WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR WHEN THE HEATER WAS TURNED ON YOU SMELL SOMETHING BURNING... TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY SAND GETTING IN THE HEATER...BUT MY CO WORKERS NOTICED IT ALSO IT WENT FROM THAT TO THE WINDOW NOT GOING UP AND DOWN WHEN YOU MASH THE BUTTON TO NOT GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN...THEN THE A/C NOT PUTTING OUT COOL AIR.... THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD ABOUT THIS AS WELL AND DID ASK IF A RECALL WAS DONE... NONE WAS DONE THEY NO OFF. THIS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I WAD AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY JETTA WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE PROMPTED ME TO SLAM ON MY HORN. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO USE MY HORN, NO SOUND EMINATED FROM THE VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVING HOME, I BEGAN TESTING THE HORN TO NO AVAIL. DUE O THIS ELECTRICAL FAILURE, I'VE BEEN FORCED TO DRIVE WITHOUT A HORN IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA WHICH IS ILLEGAL AND HAVE BEEN PUT AT EXTREME RISK WITH THE INABILITY TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS WITH MY VEHICLE.

ON MY HOME STOP BY WALMART AND THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. DIDN'T GO IN THE STORE AGAIN JUST WENT HOME AND IT STILL WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. SINCE MY NEIGHBOR HAS 2 VW CARS I WENT TO HIS HOUSE AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2016 PASSET. HE CHECKED ON MY CAR AND TRIED TO GET THE KEY OUT AFTER WE CALLED STOKES VW ON ASHLEY PHOSPHATE RD. THE SERVICE PERSON SUGGESTED BRINGING IT IN AN LEAVE IT BUT DIDNT HAVE A LOANER CAR FOR ME TO GET TO WORK..HE SUGGESTED JIGGLING THE KEY WHILE TURNING THE WHEEL BECAUSE THATS WHAT THET DO. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. IN A STORE PARKING LOT. ALSO THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP THIS INCIDENT HAPPEN ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASE THE CAR. I THOUGHT MAYBE BECAUSE IT WAS AFTER 5 IN THE MORNING. IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND THEN IT HAPPEN AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT GO UP IT WAS OVER 8 HOURS BEFORE IT DID AND I NEEDED TO GO BACK TO WORK AND LEAVE MY CAR WINDOW DOWN. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN VW.
