2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TODAY AND IT BEGAN TO JERK ALL OF A SUDDEN. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SERIOUS. AND IF THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

ENGINE CHECK WARNING DID NOT COME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ANNUAL SERVICE AND AM INFORMED A THROTTLE AND GASKET ARE BAD. NO ENGINE WARNING NOTICE BUT THEY FOUND IT IN THE CODE. CAR IS AT DEALER. I'M CONCERNED HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND IF IT CAUSED ANY OTHER ISSUES. WHY WOULD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOT BE ACTIVATED FOR THIS? IF NOT BRINING IT IN FOR ANNUAL, I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN UNTIL THE ENGINE FAILED

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, EITHER WHEN TURNING ON OR TURNING OFF. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE AT 19000 MILES AND THE PART WAS REPLACED. IT BEGAN EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEMS EARLY THIS YEAR AND HAS CONTINUED TO WORSEN TO THE POINT OF IT BEING STUCK FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. IT HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY, EITHER PREPARING TO TURN THE CAR ON OR OFF. IVE BEEN STRANDED AWAY FROM HOME WHILE TRYING TO GET IT TO TURN. SOMETIMES IT DOES RELATIVELY EASY AND OTHER TIMES IT SEEMS LIKE IT ISN'T GOING TO BUDGE. I HAVE NO OTHER KEYS OR EVEN A KEY CHAIN ATTACHED. ITS JUST THE IGNITION KEY.

TAKATA RECALL - I AM JUST GIVING NOTICE THAT MY AIRBAGS MAY BE FAULTY AND MAY NEED A REPLACEMENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

A YEAR AGO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD THEN COME TO A STOP. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE. IN THE PAST YEAR THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC OR AT A LIGHT. CAR WILL NOT DETECT KEY FOB EVEN WHEN NEW BATTERIES HAVE BEEN USED. CAR WILL SAY NO KEY.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WITH CAR STILL ON AND IN PARK. CANNOT GET CAR TURNED OFF OR KEY OUT. VOLKSWAGEN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO RECALL PART. CAR NEEDS NEW IGNITION CYLINDER. AUTO TECHNICIAN AT DEALERSHIP KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO GET THE KEY OUT, WHICH MEANS THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. SO MUCH SO, THAT THE FRONT DESK PERSON KNEW EXACTLY HOW HE DID IT AND ASKED ABOUT IT.

"FUEL PUMP DEFECT". MY 2013 VW JETTA HAS BEEN RANDOMLY STALLING OUT IN MID COMMUTE WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE JUST CUTS OFF AND I HAVE TO CRANK THE CAR BACK ON AND BEING MINDFUL OF ONGOING TRAFFIC. THIS IS INCREASING BECOMING AN ISSUE AS I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS A RANDOM OCCURRENCE HOWEVER AS THIS HAS REPEATEDLY OCCURRED OUT OF NO WHERE WHEN I'M TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IT HAS BECOME VERY SCARY IN AN ACCIDENT OCCURING. I SAW THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SELECT VW VEHICLES HOWEVER IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE WHICH APPEARS SHOULD ALSO BE IMMEDIATELY INCLUDED AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

TIMMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND TENSIONER FAILED AT 71K MILES, ALTHOUGH MAINTENANCE IS SET AS LIFETIME OR 120K MILES

I PURCHASED MY 2013 JETTA ON END JUNE 2017 FOR 47 K MILES FROM HAYWARD CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE DEALERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA. COUPLE MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE, MY CAR START TO SHOW PROBLEMS WITH CAR STALLING. IT HAS BEEN FOUR TIME IN LESS THAN ONE MONTH TIME WHERE THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON. . THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE FRONTAGE OF I-35 SOUTH, ON 50 MPH, IT SHUT DOWN OUT OF BLUE, I WAS LUCKILY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND PARK ON THE GRASS, I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND RETRY THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WORKED FINE. THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE WEST WILLIAM CANNON DR ON WAY TO HOME, IT SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON AGAIN ON 45 MPH, AGAIN I WAS CAPABLE TO PULL OVER, SHUT DOWN AND RESTART AGAIN, DID NOT WORK FOR 10 MINUTES THEN I TRIED AGAIN THEN IT WORKED. THIRD TIME I WAS ON WAY TO MY FRIEND HOME, AT THE STOPLIGHT I WAS PLANNING ON TAKE A LEFT TURN ON MY WAY TO LITTLE TEXAS LANE, AND IT SHUT DOWN FOR NO REASON, I HAD TO REACT FAST AND HOPING THAT IT WOULD START AGAIN IN ORDER TO NOT CAUSE TRAFFIC, IT WORKED FINE AGAIN. THE FOURTH TIME I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY OF I35 SOUTH, IT SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AGAIN AND I HAD TO BE VERY CAREFUL TO SLOWLY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE WITH NO POWER IN THE ENGINE AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT MUCH OF CARS AT THAT TIME. I WAS VERY LUCKY, BECAUSE I COULD EASILY BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IN AUSTIN WHERE I WAS LOCATED AT THAT TIME, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. IT IS FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I NEED TO RETURN TO CALIFORNIA AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH THIS CAR AT ALL BECAUSE OF MY SAFETY.

A FEW MONTHS AGO , THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT WENT OFF , WITH REPLACEMENT AND NEVER TURNED ON .TODAY THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT IS OFF AND WON'T TURN ON. THE HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WORK .
