2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

ABS LIGHTS UP ON DASH AS I AM DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD, CAUSING CONCERN THAT THE CAR WILL BRAKE AUTOMATICALLY.

ABS, ESC INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AND WITH BRAKE INDICATOR FLASHING AND AUDIBLE SOUND. DIAGNOSED AT CAPISTRANO VW AS FAILURE OF ABS CONTROL MODULE. REPAIR DECLINED DUE TO $2,500 COST, BUT THE CIRCUMSTANCES INDICATE THIS SHOULD BE COVERED IN SAFETY RECALL 45F2, NHTSA CAMPAIGN 16V913 (ALTHOUGH VIN NOT INDICATED AS PART OF RECALL ACCORDING TO NHTSA RECORDS). WILL FOLLOW UP WITH DEALERSHIP. NHTSA SHOULD NOTE OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS TO CAUSE MANUFACTURER TO EXPAND NUMBER OF AFFECTED VEHICLES. VW'S RESPONSE APPEARS TO BE INADEQUATE SO FAR.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SUDDENLY QUIT WORKING. IT HASN'T STARTED WORKING AGAIN AT ALL SO IT WASN'T A FLUKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START BECAUSE THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE VEHICLE WAS JUMPSTARTED AND SEVEN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE, ABS, ESP, AND POWER STEERING INDICATORS. THE VEHICLE STARTED AFTER THE JUMPSTART AND WAS TAKEN TO CIOCCA VOLKSWAGEN OF ALLENTOWN (1345 LEHIGH ST, ALLENTOWN, PA 18103) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A NEW ABS MODULE, PUMP, AND IGNITION SWITCH WERE NEEDED. THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V913000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

VEHICLE HAS 100,088 MILES ON IT. ON 5/11/2019 THE ABS MODULE WENT BAD. UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN RECALL NUMBER 16V913000 THE ABS MODULE SHOULD BE REPLACED. VOLKSWAGON ON 5/14/19 RAN MY VIN # AND SAID NO RECALL APPLIED. THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE MODULE DESPITE THE APPLICABILITY OF YOUR RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER. THE VEHICLE IS NOW IN A MECHANIC'S GARAGE AND IS INOPERABLE AS COMPUTER CODE 01130 APPLIES. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT AND FLASHING BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED WHILE I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND HAD JUST STARTED UP THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED AND MOST OF THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE LEAKED FUEL AND THE POWER STEERING WAS FAULTY. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CONSTANTLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CROWN VOLKSWAGEN OF LAWRENCE (3400 IOWA ST, LAWRENCE, KS 66046, (785) 838-7750) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTERNAL MODULE IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 148,376.

KEY WILL NOT REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION . CAR WILL NOT CUT OFF. KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION. TRIED MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL AND MOVING GEARS TO PLACE BACK IN PARK. I HAD TO REMOVE FUSE 15 AND REMOVE BATTERY CABLE TO SHUT CAR OFF. KEY IS STILL IN THE IGNITION .TERRIBLE INCONVENIENCE

TAKATA RECALL. CAR HESITATES TO SPEED UP, ABS LIGHT COME UP SOME TIME AND GO OFF. LIGHT COVER ALL THE SIGNAL P R N D S WHEN THE GEAR LEVER IS ON DRIVE (D).

WHILE IN TRAFFIC I HEARD A VERY LOUD BANG AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO PRIME VOLKSWAGON, 784 PORTLAND RD, SACO, MAINE. THEY REPORTED THAT THE LEFT FRONT SPRING HAD BROKEN AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. I WAS CHARGED $893.50 FOR THE REPAIR PLUS THE TOWING CHARGES. THE VW DEALERSHIP DID NOT ADVISE OF ANY SAFETY RECALLS. I ADVISED THAT I WAS CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE AND THE REMAINING SPRINGS. TODAY I LEARNED OF A RECALL INVOLVING NEWER MODEL VW JETTAS FOR THE FAILURE OF THE REAR SPRING.

THE STEERING WHEEL AND IGNITION HAS LOCKED UP AND I CANNOT START MY VEHICLE , THIS HAPPENED WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED
