2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

TRANSMISSION JERKING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR SET OFF GLOW PLUG/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TURNED OFF IGNITION. WARNING LIGHT RESET. JERKING CONTINUED IN GEAR 1ST TO 2ND AND 3RD TO 4TH.

FORT TWO YEARS I HAVE COMPLAINED TO VW DEALER THAT DOOR LOCKS WERE NOT WORKING. THEY NEVER PUT IT ON A REPAIR/SERVICE FORM. WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR IN, THEY SAID THE DOOR LOCKS WORK FINE, ONE JUST HAS TO PULL TWICE, TO EXIT. BUT THEY COULD NOT SAY HOW TO LOCK ALL THE DOORS WHEN PARKING ON THE STREET. MY DOOR LOCKS HAVE NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. I TOOK THE BUS TO THE DEALER TO COMPLAIN THAT MY KEYS WERE LOCKED IN THE CAR. THEY SAID THAT WAS "IMPOSSIBLE" AND IT TOOK ME A WEEK AND $500.00 TO GET MY CAR TOWED, NEW KEYS AND RESETS. I AM LIVID. DOORS WON'T ALL LOCK MOST OF THE TIME. OR UNLOCK, MOST OF THE TIME. I BELIEVE THAT NOT BEING ABLE TO RELIABLY EXIT A CAR OR LOCK IT WHEN LEAVING IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT TO YOU ABOUT THIS CAR, THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE OF SOFTWARE THAT STALLED THE CAR IN INTERSECTIONS WHICH HAD TO BE FEDERALLY ORDERED RECALL. I THINK THE DEALER REFUSED TO LOOK INTO THE DOOR LOCKING PROBLEMS DURING WARRANTY IN HOPES THAT I WOULD RETURN AGAIN AND AGAIN TO HAVE LOCKS REPAIRED UNTIL I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS STINKS. AND IT IS CLEARLY UNSAFE.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE RADIO JUST STOPPED WORKING. THE HANDSFREE FOR THE RADIO IS NOT WORKING AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD AT THE SPEED OF 25-30 MILES PER HOUR.

STEREO JUST WENT COMPLETELY DEAD FOR NO REASON. BLUETOOTH IS OUT OF COMMISSION AS WELL. THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS EVERYONE ELSE HERE. I CHECKED MY FUSES AND THEY ARE ALL FINE. WENT TO MY LOCAL VOLKSWAGEN DEALER AND GOT THE SAME SONG AND DANCE AS EVERYONE ELSE HERE. MY SERVICE TECH AT FIRST TRIED TO DENY THAT THIS IS AN INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, BUT AFTER ME PRESSING HIM ON THE ISSUE AND ASKED IF HE HAD READ ALL OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, HE FESSED UP. VERY FRUSTRATING AS MY CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES WHEN BOTH THE STEREO AND THE A/C QUIT WORKING. HE GAVE ME A LOAD OF BULL ON THAT ONE AS WELL. FROM NOW ON I WILL ONLY DRIVE A HONDA OR TOYOTA.

MY CAR KEEPS THROWING A P0401 CODE EGR INSUFFICIENT FLOW. THE DEALER TOLD ME ITS MIGHT BE A CRACKED DPF FILTER. AFTER LOOKING ON VW FORUMS ABOUT THE PROBLEM ITS GOING TO BE AROUND A $3000 FIX. SINCE THE CAR IS NOT A "CLEAN DIESEL" AS ADVERTISED THE SYSTEM IS GETTING CLOGGED DUE TO THE FACT THE CAR COMPUTER FAKE SOFTWARE

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. DIAGNOSED BY VW AS A PROBLEM WITH THE "STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING". ALTHOUGH PRESS RELEASE INCLUDED RECALL INFORMATION FOR THIS PART AND PROBLEM, ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL, VW DECLINED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN ITS RECALL. SINCE THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD NEW DRIVER AND SAFETY, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY OVER $360 TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG PART. VW SAID THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME IF THE VEHICLE DID END UP IN THE RECALL AT A LATER DATE.

CAR IS THROWING P0401 FAULT CODE FOR EGR VALVE INSUFFICIENT FLOW. DEALER STATES THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER IS CRACKED. ACCORDING TO DATA, VW'S EMISSIONS SCANDAL SHOWS 40% MORE POLLUTANTS SPEWING INTO AIR. THIS IS CAUSING EXCESS EMISSION PART FAILURES. DEALER WANTS $2500+ FOR REPAIRS. ACCORDING TO VW FORUMS, THERE ARE MANY CASES OF EGR AND DPF FAILURES. CONTACTED VW AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST. MY CAR IS DUE FOR SMOG 10/22/2015 AND IS NOT PASSING.

FUEL LINE #2 FAILED AFTER RECALLED REPAIR ON FUEL LINE #2 WAS PERFORMED. FUEL WAS SPILLING ONTO HOT ENGINE. I THINK THE ORIGINAL RECALL WAS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER : 11V490000. LOOKS TO ME THAT CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS SAME AS COVERED IN RECALL-VIBRATION FATIGUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND AN UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE PART THAT THE TECHNICIAN REPAIRED CAUSED OTHER MALFUNCTIONS TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

RADIO IN 2010 JETTA TDI STOPPED WORKING. IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER BUT ALL FUSES CHECK GOOD. THERE IS MANY MANY OF THESE SAME ISSUES WITH THE DELPHI RADIOS IN THE JETTAS IN 2010. FOLLOW THIS LINK TO SEE THE MANY OWNERS THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY WITH THERE FAULTY RADIOS. THE MAIN SAFETY ISSUES IS THERE IS NO LONGER THE USE OF HANDS FREE CELL PHONE USING THE BLUETOOTH OPTION. WHEN MY RADIO FAILED I DROVE THE CAR ON A SATURDAY MORNING AND EVERYTHING WAS IN WORKING ORDER. WHEN MY WIFE GOT IN TO GO TO THE STORE 30 MIN LATER THE RADIO WAS COMPLETELY DEAD.
