2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

There was a legal settlement between the US and VW in 2016. This settlement provided mandates upon the company to perform repairs and give warranty to owners of VW vehicles, so the vehicles are in a safe and emissions responsible manner. This settlement info can be seen at www.vw.courtsettlement.com The main part that applies to our situation is: We purchased a 2013 VW Jetta TDI on 12/30/20 with 179,109 miles. Prior to that, it had the Emissions Modification done to it. We purchased vehicle from the original owner, and we are the 2nd owner, per VIN report Our purchase was the 1st resale transaction done after the modification completed We purchased the vehicle in good faith and for purposes other than resale We purchased the vehicle due to the warranty. The vehicle currently should have a 4 year 48,000 mile court ordered warranty starting 12/30/20 and at 179,109 miles. If followed by court order, this warranty is good until 12/30/24 or 227,109 miles. Since this vehicle was purchased 6 months 14,000 miles into warranty, it still has 34,000 miles or good until 12/30/2024. VW has refused to honor there court ordered warranty. This potentially is putting a vehicle that is in need of safety repairs at risk of a danger on roadway by not honoring warranty. Term of agreement at www.vwcourtsettlement.com Not only are they not fulfilling there obligations as they should under the terms of settlement, they are egregiously allowing vehicles to be driven around with clogged filters emitting more pollution that they should, when they have since agreed to fix them as they were rigged unlawfully to settle the VW corporate violations within the US They should immediately honor this warranty with this VW owner and recompense me for warranty related expenses they incurred of approx $750.

This is a hybrid VW Jetta 2013 Transmission loss of reverse , 2nd, 4th, 6th, gears . I read there is a recall 34J6 for transmission supposedly to be in effect may 31, 2021

The contact owns a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated while driving 25 mph, approaching a stop sign with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle loss motive power and stalled. The vehicle was restarted but failed to move. The vehicle was towed to a local mechanic however, the mechanic was unable to work on the model of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

On 05/21/2021 while merging onto the I-5 freeway in Olympia at high speed the EPC dash light came on and the car lost all acceleration and had to swerve off onto the shoulder to avoid any collision (felt like car had stalled). Luckily it was in early AM so traffic was not as bad as normal. Once on the shoulder the car would not move. Contacted Geico and had car towed into the closest Volkswagon service center once they opened. After the inspection (05/24/2021) was told that the mechatronic unit had failed and there were metal shards throughout the transmission that couldn't be removed, so the entire transmission would need to be replaced. There was no warning of the failure; there was a check engine light on previously for a different mechanical issue (vacuum pump) that began 03/10/2021. At that time the car was closely inspected at a VW dealership and I was told safe to drive until I could get it repaired (just hybrid system would no longer function). At that time they updated some software on the car for a separate recall (38C4). The car has been inspected by two separate Volkswagon service centers, Volkswagon of Olympia (where the car is currently for the transmission failure), and back on 03/10/2021 at the Burlington WA Volkswagon dealership. Researched the issue and this particular model and production year had been recalled under #34F6, however for whatever reason my VIN number was not included in the recall. I believe this car should have been included in that recall.

KEY DOES NOT TURN TO THE OFF POSITION ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED. CANNOT STOP THE CAR CAR ONCE STARTED. FROM ALL THE READING I AM DOING IT SEEMS THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH OTHERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND WAS JERKING. THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO JIM ELLIS VOLKSWAGEN KENNESAW (950 ERNEST W BARRETT PKWY NW, KENNESAW, GA 30144, 678-616-9946) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR TRANSMISSION IS CRACKED AND VW WILL NOT DO ANYTHING

ABOUT 2 DAYS AFTER HAVING MY FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED DUE TO A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING/IN CONJUNCTION WITH MISFIRING, I GOT THE HYBRID LIGHT. IT WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I NOTICED RPM'S AND CHARGE LEVELS WERE FLUCTUATING ALONG PRIOR TO LOSS OF POWER. TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AGAIN. SHUT OFF VEHICLE. WAITED A MINUTE. TURNED VEHICLE BACK ON THEN CONTINUED DRIVING. HAD ONE ADDITIONAL LOSS OF POWER BUT THE HYBRID LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON. THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR SHOWED A WRENCH INSTEAD OF "D" THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD DESPITE HEARING THE ENGINE REV.

MY VEHICLE FOR A FEW YEARS NOW HAS STALLED OUT ON ME AND CAUSED IT TO GO IN TO LIMP MODE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I SEE THERE IS A RECALL AND NO FIX IS AVAILABLE BUT THE HYBRID SYSTEM SHUTS COMPLETELY DOWN WHEN IT DOES THIS AND I CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME. IT WILL HAPPEN ANYWHERE I AM WHERE IT'S A BACK ROAD OR ON THE INTERSTATE.I FEEL THAT VOLKSWAGEN SHOULD TAKE BACK THIS VEH BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY SYSTEM. I FEEL VOLKSWAGEN SHOULD PAY MY LOAN OFF SO I CAN GET IN TO ANOTHER SAFER VEHICLE.
