2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

THE RADIO/BLUETOOTH/CD PLAYER COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING WHEN THE IGNITION TURNED ON. IT HAD WORKED THE PREVIOUS DAY. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. IT IS NOT THE FUSE. IT NEEDS A COMPLETE NEW RADIO SYSTEM. I CALLED THE DEALER, BUT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TOTAL WOULD BE $800+. AFTER CHECKING ON LINE, I FIND THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME SUBJECT.

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. GOT CAR CHECKED AND NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION MODULE. DID RESEARCH OF THIS MODEL AND MODEL YEAR AND IT'S AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR. IF THIS ISSUE ISN'T TAKEN CARE OF IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. HOW MANY LIVES NEED TO BE IN JEOPARDY IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED. MY KIDS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME AND I WANT THEM TO BE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE. WHY DRIVE SOMETHING THAT'S NOT SAFE FOR ME OR MY KIDS.

THE LIGHTS ARE ALL CROSSED. THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS WEAKER ON THE DRIVER MIRROR. THE OVERHEAD LIGHTS SEEMED TO BE CROSSED. YOU TURN ONE OFF AND THE PASSENGER LIGHTS IN BACK COME ON. THE BLUETOOTH STOPPED WORKING. IT IS LIKE IT HAS A SHIRT IN IT. THIS IS WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS STATIONARY IN CAR PORT.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NC CAMPING. MY JETTA WAS WORKING PERFECTLY FINE. I WENT TO START IT THE NEXT DAY AND THE RADIO WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THE JETTA IS NOT VERY OLD. ALSO, THE BACK LEFT BREAK LIGHT AND FRONT RIGHT HEADLIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. THE BREAKLIGHT AND THE HEADLIGHT STARTED WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING IT, BUT THE STEREO HAS BEEN DEAD FOR ALMOST A WEEK NOW. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THEIR RADIO IN THE SAME YEAR JETTA AS MINE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING AND I WISH VOLKSWAGEN WOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS PRETTY COMMON.

OCCASIONALLY THE CAR WILL STALL AND SURGE CREATING A JOLT AT VARIABLE SPEEDS BUT ALWAYS WHILE IN MOTION. USUALLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM IDLE BUT SOMETIMES DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING.

THE HEADLINER WAS SEPARATING FROM THE INSIDE ROOF OF THE CAR. IT WAS STARTING TO HANG DOWN. ALSO THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL WAS COMING APART AND STARTING TO DISINTEGRATE. BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED. VOLKSWAGON SAID OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY CAN DO,NOTHING DESPITE MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION ON A STATE HIGHWAY BUT COASTING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. CLUTCH PEDAL WAS FULLY DEPRESSED. HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES BETWEEN JULY 1, 2017 AND AUGUST 29, 2017. THIS VEHICLE IS A DIESEL. FUEL PUMP MIGHT BE LOOSING POWER. WEATHER WAS DRY. AIR AND FUEL FILTERS ARE NOT DIRTY. THEY WERE RECENTLY REPLACED.

ABS WARNING LIGHT ON, TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ON AND BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN # 16V913000 BRAKE ARE ACTING SPORADIC, PULSATING WHEN TRYING TO STOP. CITY DRIVING DOES NOT FELL SAFE. VW SAYS MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED AND IT IS THE EXACT MODEL IN THE BULLETIN REFERENCED ABOVE.
