2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL IF ON A HILL. THIS IS ONGOING

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AROUND 9 OR 10AM IT WAS CLEAR AND SUNNY. TRAFFIC WAS MODERATE I WAS GOING ABOUT 45MPH. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THERE BRAKES AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS AT LEAST 3 OR 4 MAYBE MORE CAR LENGTHS BEHIND THEM WHEN I SAW THEM BRAKE. I WASN'T WORRIED ABOUT STOPPING AS I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM BUT WHEN I WENT TO SLOW DOWN I ENDED UP PUSHING MY BREAK PEDDLE ALL THE WAY DOWN COMPLETELY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, YET I WAS NOT BRAKING THAN AS I GOT CLOSER I TRIED TO SWERVE TO THE LEFT TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE W WERE ON THE FAR LEFT INSIDE PANE THE CARPOOL LANE. WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL I SEEMED TO BE LOCKED I THEN TRIED TO TURN TO THE RIGHT AND AGAIN I WAS LOCKED. SO I BRACED FOR IMPACT BECAUSE MY BREAKS WERE NOT BRAKING AND I COULD NOT TURN M STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID THE ACCIDENT AND I ENDED UP SPAMMING INTO THE BACK OF THERE SUV GOING ROUGHLY 45MPH. MY SPEED NEVER SLOWED ANY. MY CAR WAS TOTALLED SPILLING RADIATOR FLUID ALL OVER THE ROADWAY. HE TO BE TOWED . I WAS ESSENTIALLY RENDERED HOPELESS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP AND UNABLE TO SWERVE NEITHER DIRECTION SO I OUL AT LEAST AVAPID HITTING THE CAR ON FONT OF ME. I WAS UNABLE TO AVOID THIS ACCIDENT THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN EVEN THINKABLE HAD THE BRAKES NO LOCKED AND THE STEERING WHEEL NOT LOCKED. I WAS GIVEN A TICKET FOR REARENDING THEM. I A FEW MONTHS LATER DID A SEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS JETTA HAD A RECALL STATING THE ABS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS YET I NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE . I TODAY CHECKED VIN NUMBER AND NOW IT STATES NO RECALL. PLEASE HELP. THIS ACCIDENT UAS CAUSED ME LOTS OF ISSUES. EVEN TODAY I STILL AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE ALMOST 1YR LATER. I DO NO HAVE PICTURES OR REPORTS TO UPLOAD BUT A STATE PATROL OFFICER DID DO A COLLISION REPORT YJAT IS AVAILABLE. I JUST DONT HAVE THE MONEY FOR A COPY.

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IT WILL AT TIMES HESITATE AND STUMBLE SEVERELY TO THE POINT WHERE YOU WILL HAVE TO PULL OVER. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODES NOTED WHEN SCANNED. PROBLEM STARTED RIGHT AFTER VW TDI EMISSIONS FIXES. VW DEALER CLAIMS NO CONNECTION.

KEY CONSTANTLY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION SWITCH AND CAN'T TURN VEHICLE OFF. VEHICLE REMAINS RUNNING WHILE KEY WONT TURN IN OFF POSITION. HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY TERMINAL AND FUEL PUMP FUSE TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF. KEY STILL REMAINS STUCK IN IGNITION SWITCH.

WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR YEARS. A FEW YEARS AGO THE CAR ROLLED BACK INTO A DRIVEWAY WALL CAUSING SOME DAMAGE AFTER DEPARTING THE CAR.

MY CAR WAS STATIONARY. I PUT MY KEY INTO THE IGNITION TO START THE CAR AND AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T TURN BUT THEN IT DID AND STARTED. DROVE FROM WORK TO HOME AND THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK. TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF BUT THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN. CAR WAS STUCK ON AND RUNNING.

WHILE WILL DRIVING 70 MPH ON I-96, LEFT FRONT STRUT/COIL/DAMPENER FAILED , THE COIL SPRING BECAME PARTIALLY OFFSET AND SEPARATED LATERALLY FROM THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE COIL. THE PORTION OF THE COIL OFFSET BEGAN RUBBING ON THE FRONT TIRE SIDEWALL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS LOCATED 5-7 MILES FROM HOME AND MY LOCAL VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP. A DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS DEVELOPMENT. SEE ATTACHED IMAGES..

FRONT COIL SPRINGS SNAPPED, FRONT OF VEHICLE DROPPED, DAMAGED TIRE,....SAFETY ISSUE, IMMEDIATELY HAD DEFECTIVE PARTS REPLACED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE ABS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V913000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000.

I PURCHASED A USED 2010 VW JETTA IN 2016 WITH 52000 MILES. ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASE I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMITTION. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED BY VW DEALER IN JULY 2017
