2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

AFTER LEAVING WORK, I WENT ABOUT TWO BLOCKS, TURNED THE CORNER AND MY CAR STALLED OUT ON ME, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND OUT THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND IT WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR, DRIVE OR REVERSE. I TOWED IT TO NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS 4 HOURS AWAY AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AS OTHER VEHICLES WITH RECALL PROBLEM, VOLKSWAGEN SAYS MY VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL AND I HAVE TO PAY $7295 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY CAR ONLY HAS 67,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL: THE HYBRID SYSTEM FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE ENGINE STILL RAN BUT I COULDN'T DRIVE. I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

COMING TO HOME AND WAS ABOUT TO TURN ONTO ANOTHER STREET WHEN CAR SUDDENLY JERKED AND WOULDN'T GO IN DRIVE. HAD TO STOP PUT IN PARK AND WAIT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN IT BEGAN TO MOVE. DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS TRANSMISSION BUT THE CAR ISN'T OVER 130,000 MILES

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR IS LOUD AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. VERY INTERMITTENT.

LEFT WORK AND BARELY MADE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN THE CAR MADE A 'CLUNK' AND LURCHED IN D BUT WOULD NOT GO. LARGE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON, PUT CAR IN P, WAITED AND THEN BACK TO D. STILL WOULD NOT DRIVE. TURNED IT OFF AND WAITED A MINUTE OR TWO. WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND DRIVE TO PARKING LOT. LARGE LIGHT WAS OUT BUT CHECK ENGINE CAME ON. LOTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED WHILE WAITING FOR TOW TRUCK. MY VIN NOT IN RECALL. 😡

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

INOPERATIVE DRIVERS DOOR LOCK WHEN LOCKING WITH THE KEY FOB REMOTE. DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH THE KEY FOB, NOR WILL IT WITH THE BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR. IT WILL ONLY LOCK WITH THE KEY SOMETIMES. BUT EVEN THEN, PROBABLY 50% OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T LOCK WITH THAT. CAR WILL NOT LOCK WHILE YOU ARE SITTING INSIDE, OR DRIVING. NOT VERY SAFE WHEN YOU ARE GOING THROUGH DANGEROUS CITIES'.. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE UNAWARE WHEN THIS DEFECT IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO LOCK YOUR DOOR, IF NEEDED. ISN'T THAT WHAT A LOCK IS FOR- SAFETY AND SECURITY? THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE- WITHIN PREVIOUS YEARS. VOLKSWAGEN IS OBVIOUSLY JUST REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE VW MECHANIC, HE SEEMED VERY WELL AWARE OF THIS VOLKSWAGEN ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STOPPED MOVING. IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE GEAR BOX. THE SAME RECALL THAT THE VOLKSWAGEN HAS BUT WHEN I LOOK UP MY VIN IT DOESN'T COME. HOWEVER I HAD THE SAME ISSUE HAPPEN AS THE ONE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BUT THE CAR IS STILL JERKING AROUND A LOT. I WANT VOLKSWAGEN TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

THE AUTOLOCK DOOR SYSTEM FAILS TO UNLOCK THE REAR LEFT DOOR. A PESON IN THE REAR LEFT SEAT POSITION CAN NOT EXIT THE DOOR IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK CAN BE BYPASSED. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO VW OF AMERICA ON 10/17/18 (1 800 822-8987). THE DEFECTIVE LOCKING MECHANISM HAS BEEN INTERMITANTLY MALFUNCTIONING FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR CUT OFF THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON . I MANAGED TO RESTART AND PULL OVER AND THEN AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED AND STAYED ON . THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY THE CAR REPAIR SHOP THAT I WAS NEAR OUT OF FEAR OF DRIVING; BUT NO SOONER DID I GET THE CAR BACK THE SAME THING STARTED HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE( WHILE IN MOTION THE CAR STALLS NO LIGHT NECESSARILY COME ON WITH EXCEPTION OF THE EPC LIGHT WHICH DOES NOT STAY ON. OPPOSE TO ME POURING MONEY INTO THE CAR I READ ABOUT RECALLS AND THIS SAME THING IS HAPPENING IN OTHER MODELS BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AND I WANT IT INCLUDED THIS IS DANGEROUS AND INCONVENIENANT PLEASE HELP ME
