VW 2010 TDI - RADIO DEAD. COMPLETELY WENT BLACK, UNRESPONSIVE. DISCOVERED WRONG FUSE IN LINE WITH RADIO - 15A WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 10A ACCORDING TO SPEC. THIS OVER TIME CAUSED THE RADIO TO FRY. VW OF A DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND GIVES THE STANDARD REPLY THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. A 5 YEAR OLD VEHILCE, WITH 100K MILES - THE RADIO SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT THIS AGE, FURTHER, THIS IS A 1000+$ FIX. RIDICULOUS

TL* THE CONTACTS OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN WENT BACK INTO GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ESP WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AND DRIFTED BACK INTO NEUTRAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED OFTEN. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE MECHTRONICS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

ON MAY 9TH,WE STARTED OUR CAR AFTER AFTER A WEDDING AND RECEPTION,THE RADIO WAS BLANK,NOTHING.IT ALSO HAS FACTORY BLUETOOTH.CALLED OUR DEALER AND TRIED TO GET GOODWILL ADJUSTMENT FOR RADIO.WAS TOLD RADIO WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.OPENED A CASE WITH VW,HAD DEALER PULL RADIO,THE DEALER CALLED VW.NO ASSISTANCE RADIO COST IS $775,NOT COUNTING INSTALLATION.I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE,BECAUSE BLUETOOTH DOESN'T WORK,BECAUSE RADIO DOES NOT.2010 VW JETTA SE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 VW JETTA TO WORK WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED RAPIDLY BLINKING. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. CALLED VW DEALERSHIP. THEY SUGGESTED TOWING MY VEHICLE. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO THE VW DEALERSHIP, IGNITION COILS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VW DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS REPAIR. HOWEVER, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FAULTY IGNITION COIL IN PREVIOUS YEARS FOR THE JETTA. I THINK VW SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

RADIO WENT COMPLETELY DEAD. SCREEN IS BLANK AND NO RESPONSE. BLUETOOTH AND OTHER FEATURES CONNECTED TO THE RADIO DO WORK. PREVIOUS TIME IN THE CAR THE RADIO WAS WORKING FINE. NOW RADIO IS DEAD AND REST OF CAR SEAMS FINE.

VW TDI ENGINE: A POORLY DESIGNED DIESEL ENGINE PARTICULATE FILTER (PF). VW IS IRRESPONSIBLE IN DESIGNING, SELLING AND SUPPORTING REPAIRS TO THIS ITEM. COST FOR 100K SCHEDULED MAINT. FOR TIMING BELT AND OTHER PM WORK @ $3,127, PF IS EXPECTED TO FAIL BETWEEN 90K AND 130K MILES AND IS ON RECORD TO BE A PM REPLACEMENT PART IN THE SERVICE MANUALS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AT 90K MILES. MY MECHANIC RESET LIGHT TWICE. I EVENTUALLY TOOK IT TO VW AND GAVE THEM A COPY OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN, PROVIDED BY MECHANIC.VW INSISTED IT WAS BOTH EXHAUST PRESSURE SENSORS AT $607 THIS WAS WRONG, LIGHT ON IN 4 DAYS. COST TO REPLACE THE PF IS $6.2K. AT 100K MILES THIS CAR HAS COST ME $9,863 FOR VW SCHLD. MAINT.. REPAIRS THAT VW RECOMMENDS TO BE DONE TO THIS CAR. VW CUSTOMER RELATIONS SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND SUGGESTED I GO TO NHTSA. 1. VW ADVERTISED TDI ENGINE AS THE CLEANEST EMISSIONS IN THE WORLD! 2, WE EXPECTED PAY-OFF THROUGH EXCELLENT GAS MILEAGE AND LOW COST OWNERSHIP. AT 100K MILES A DEISEL SHOULD JUST BE BREAKING IN. RESULTS OF VW SELLING THE VEHICLE AND NOT SUPPORTING ITS CUSTOMERS: A. VW HAS STUCK ME WITH A CAR I CAN NOT SELL OR TAKE A DUMP ON RESALE. WHO WANTS TO BUY A CAR WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON? B. I KEEP CARS AND KEEP THEM MAINTAINED SO I GET HIGH MILEAGE OUT OF THEM. EVEN IF I DID THE PF REPAIR AT $6K I WOULD BE LOOKING TO DO IT AGAIN AT 200K MILES. THERE IS NO VALUE TO COST OF OWNERSHIP OF THIS CAR!! C. I COULD GO TO MY MECHANIC AND RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SELL THIS CAR NEAR RESALE. UNFORTUNATELY THE VIN NO. IS ON RECORD WITH THIS ISSUE. NOR DO I HAVE THE CONSCIENCE TO DO THAT. VW IS AN IRRESPONSIBLE CAR MANUFACTURER!!!!. HOW CAN YOU SELL A CAR THAT REQUIRES HIS MUCH SCHEDULED REPAIR WORK??? VW YOU HAVE SCREWED ME AND YOUR CUSTOMERS!

I HAD THE AC COMPRESSOR REPLACED, VW OFFERED TO REPLACE PART FOR FREE AND I PAID FOR LABOR AT GUNTHER VW IN FT. LAUDERDALE IN 2013. NOW IN 2015, THE AC IS NOT COOLING AGAIN AND I TAKE MY VW FOR THE 100K MILE SERVICE. I ASK GUNTHER TO CHECK ON THE AC SYSTEM AND THE AC FAILED A PERFORMANCE TEST. AC COMPRESSOR, RADIATOR AND COOLING FAN NEEDS TO BE REPLACE AT A COST OF $1300! REDICULOUS! THE QUALITY OF THIS CAR AND ITS COMPONENTS IS AWEFUL! IVE NEVER HEARD OF AN AC SYSTEM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED LESS THAN 5 YEARS OF MANUFACTURING DATE OF CAR , ON TOP OF AN AC COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT UNDER 75K MILES. I WOULD LIKE VW TO COVER THE COST OF THE PARTS NEEDED TO RUN MY AC AT OPTINUM CONDITION.
