2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

THE ADBLU INJECTOR ON MY 2015 JETTA IS LEAKING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AT 58K FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ADBLU SYSTEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 60K EMISSION WARRANTY AND VW REFUSED TO REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE KEY WOULD NOT SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES LATER, AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE DID SHUT OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WINNER VOLKSWAGEN IN DOVER, DELAWARE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TUMBLER FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE ISSUE WAS DO TO THE TUMBLER IN THE KEY. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THIS WAS COMMON WITH VOLKSWAGEN VEHICLES. *JS

MY KEY HAVE BEEN GETTING STUCK IN MY IGNITION. I COULD NOT TURN MY CAR OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE KEY OUT IS TO FLICK THE KEY IN THE IGNITION FOR IT TO LET GO.

THE IGNITION CYLINDER/SWITCH IS BAD. WHEN RUNNING, THE KEY WILL NOT TURN OFF. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR MANY REASONS. THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE AFTER READING FORUMS AND SEEING HOW MANY JETTA'S HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.

DRIVING WITH WINDOWS DOWN ON MILD SPRING DAY, NO ONE IN PASSENGER SEAT, JUST A WALLET, KINDLE AND A PAPER FORM. SEAT WARMERS WERE NOT ON, PASSENGER SEAT STARTED TO SMOKE AND LITTLE PRONG HEADS POKED UP, TINY, SLIGHT BURN ON HOLES IN LEATHER SEAT. FREAKED OUT, CALLED DEALER, TOOK CAR IN, THEY TOOK PICS, AGREED THAT THERE WAS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO SEAT, KEPT THE CAR FOR A FEW HOURS. LATER CALLED AND SAID THAT "THERE WAS NOTHING TO FIX", NO RESOLUTION.

PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR IS POORLY DESIGNED AND ANYTHING PLACED ON THE SEAT INITIATES THE SENSOR AND THE FASTEN SEATBELT LIGHT AND GONG. ITEMS THAT CAUSE THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN FAST FOOD, SMALL DOGS, PAPERWORK, A CELL PHONE ON A CHARGER, MY CD CASE. I RENTED AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE FROM HERTZ AND THIS ISSUE DID NOT HAPPEN. LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM ONLINE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MANY OWNERS STRETCHING BACK TO 2011 MODEL YEARS. IF THE SEAT SENSOR SENSES SOMETHING ON IT AND THERE IS A WRECK BOTH AIRBAGS WILL BE DEPLOYED FURTHER RISKING THE DRIVER TO FLYING DEBRIS. DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS A NORMAL SITUATION. SINCE SOME VEHICLES ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND OTHER VW PRODUCTS ARE NOT I KINDA DOUBT IT.

MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE VW JETTA TSB # 8715-18. 2015 YEAR MILES APPROX 53K. I AM A SUBSEQUENT OWNER. ORIGINAL OWNER WAS A RENTAL CAR COMPANY HENCE THE HIGHER MILEAGE. VW REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THE FACT THAT A AC CONDENSER VALVE SHOULD NOT BE STICKING AT THIS POINT AND WITH SHOWING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS A TSB ON THE GOLF I WANT THIS REVIEWED DEEPER BY NHTSA. 1300 AX REPAIR SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A VEHICLE THAT'S ONLY 2 TO 3 YEARS FROM DFU.

THE PROBLEM IS THE CLUTCH FAILURE IN THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION.. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE CLUTCH HAS FAILED, PREVENTING THE CAR GOING INTO GEAR. IT LEFT US STRANDED. THIS WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A SLIGHT BURNING ODOR. WE FEEL THIS LEAVES US IN DANGER AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. WE HESITATE TO DRIVE IT ON ANY LONG TRIP. VW WARRANTS THE CAR FOR 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES. THE WARRANTY STATES THAT CLUTCH REPLACEMENT DUE TO WEAR IS EXCLUDED FROM THE WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I EXPLAINED TO ALL THAT WE HAVE HAD 6 AUTOS WITH STANDARD TRANSMISSIONS OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 60 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A CLUTCH FAIL ON US. THE CLUTCH IS A VERY TOUGH COMPONENT OF ANY CAR. VW HAS REFUSED TO REIMBURSE US FOR THIS LAST FAILURE AFTER MANY REQUESTS. MY CONTENTION IS THAT THE CLUTCH FAILURE MUST BE DUE TO SOME MECHANICAL FACTOR BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING. WE RECEIVED PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE FIRST FAILURE, BUT THAT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I ASKED FOR AND HAVE RETAINED THE DAMAGED COMPONENTS IN CASE THEY ARE NEEDED.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP SAYS THE AIRBAG MODULE CONTROLLER 4M0959339A03A AND PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR ARE BAD 5C6959340B. ORDERED NEW MODULE, DEALERSHIP ASKED FOR VIN AND SAID THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR PART ORDERED. MAYBE SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT THEY SAID. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WITH NO PASSENGERS WHEN AIRBAG LIGHT WHEN ON INDICATING MALFUNCTION. *TR

THIS VEHICLE'S VIN REPORT SHOWS NO OPEN RECALLS. YET I SMELL FUEL IN THE CABIN AND HAVE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SEEN EVIDENCE OF FUEL LEAKED ON THE GROUND. OTHER 2015 JETTAS DO HAVE RECALLS FOR A FUEL RAIL LEAK. MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO HAVE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY RECALL. I ASK YOU TO INCLUDE IT IN THE EXISTING SAFETY RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR
