2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

STALLING OF VEHICLE WHILE IN TRAFFIC; EPC LIGHT WILL TURN ON, BATTERY LIGHT; REPLACEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH REGARDS TO FUEL AND OIL LEAKAGE AND STALLING STILL OCCURS

IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER ABRUPTLY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AT ALL DUE TO THIS FAILURE. THEY KEY WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. IT WORKED ONE MOMENT AND IMMEDIATELY STOPPEDF WORKING. STRANDED AND HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. TOW COMPANY HAD TO DISASSEMBLE SHIFTER TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO TOW. $645 + FOR TOW AND REPAIRS.

TAKATA RECALL MY WINDSHEILD WIPERS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. ONLY TOP SPEED WORKS. SPEED 1 AND 2 DO NOT WORK, ONLY 3.

WIPERS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IN COLD TEMPERATURES. IN VERY COLD WEATHER, THEY WILL OFTEN TAKE 3-5 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING ONCE TURNED ON. IN COOL TEMPERATURES THEY WILL OFTEN RUN AT A VERY SLOW PACE. CHANGING WIPER BLADES HAS NO EFFECT/IMPACT. THIS IS A WIPER ARM AND/OR WIPER ARM ASSEMBLY ISSUE AND WIDESPREAD THROUGHOUT ONLINE REPORTS. VW SHOULD BE FORCED TO ISSUE A RECALL.

DEFECTIVE LIGHT SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE HEADLIGHTS, DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT LOW BEAMS AND HIGH BEAMS. DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT NO LONGER WORK, LOW BEAMS ARE SO DIM THEY ARE NO LONGER EFFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHILE PARKED, THE HORN FAILED TO OPERATE WHEN PRESSED. ALSO, THE HEADLIGHTS INADVERTENTLY FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WITHOUT WARNING. LEITH VOLKSWAGEN OF RALEIGH (4005 CAPITAL HILLS DRIVE RALEIGH, NC 27616, (833) 827-4410) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER WAS BUSY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TT *TR

THE FUSE BOX MELTED AND CAUSED ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE. APPARENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED FREQUENTLY AND OTHER MODELS (TIGUAN) HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO THE FAILURE OF THE SAME PART NUMBER.

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE. THIS MEANS THAT IF I WAS TO GET INTO A COLLISION, THE CAR WOULD NOT SENSE THERE IS A PASSENGER AND THE AIRBAGS ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THIS SENSOR DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, AND THERE IS AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HORN WOULD NOT FUNCTION. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO A FUEL STATION, TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE, RESTARTED IT, BUT THE HORN WAS STILL NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,600.

IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE VEHICLE'S HORN STARTED WEAKENING OUT AND IT STOPPED WORKING. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWNED AN MK6 (2011-2015) JETTA HAD THE SAME ISSUE ACROSS THE NATION. PLEASE ENFORCE THE VW TO OPEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.
