2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

ANOTHER JETTA TO ADD TO THE LIST WITH A FAULTY RADIO. THE RADIO JUST DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A NORMAL COMMUTE. I FOUND IN A FORUM THAT I'M JUST ONE OF MANY SO I'M LODGING A COMPLAINT IN HOPES VW WILL LISTEN. ALSO, THE REMOTE ENTRY DOESN'T WORK SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE WITHOUT STOPPING THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING IT. *TR

LARGE SPLIT IN THE FRONT RIGHT OUTSIDE SIDEWALL DISCOVERED. UPON INSPECTION, GAP WAS VERY NOTICABLE. CHECK THE REMAINING THREE TIRES AND NO EVIDENCE OF THE SAME. TIRES HAVE APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES. WE DECIDED TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES TO KEEP THE VEHICLE "BALANCED". NEW TIRES INSTALLED AND WAS ASKED TO COME IN TO THE SHOP TO SEE THE OTHER THREE TIRES. ALL THREE HAD SPLITS IN THE SIDEWALL FACING TO THE INSIDE, WHICH COULD NOT HAVE BEEN SEEN UNLESS EACH TIRE WAS PULLED OFF THE VEHICLE. I ASKED TO RETAIN AT LEAST TWO OF THE TIRES IN MY POSSESSION, WHICH I HAVE NOW. I ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF THE SPLITS THAT I HOPE I WILL BE ABLE TO FORWARD SOMEWHERE BEFORE I COMPLETE THE COMPLAINT. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NO INJURYS, IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY CATASTOPHIC IF THE TIRES BLEW OUT AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. *TR

THE RADIO WENT DARK, THERE WAS STRANGE FEEDBACK THROUGH THE SPEAKERS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. AROUND THE SAME TIMEFRAME THE SEATBELT CHIME WOULD GO OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THERE IS DEFIANTLY ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

FALSE NEUTRAL SYMPTOMS DUE TO DSG MECHATRONIC. HANSEL VW DEALERSHIP IN SANTA ROSA, CA STATED THAT OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. WHY NOT? IT OBVIOUSLY IS OCCURRING WITH OURS JUST LIKE THE OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER :PE09035 "REPORT SUBMITTED TO NHTSA ON AUGUST 20, 2009, VOLKSWAGEN DESCRIBED A POTENTIAL DEFECT IN THE WIRING HARNESSES OF THE DSG GEARBOX TEMPERATURE SENSORS USED IN APPROXIMATELY 16,000 MODEL YEAR (MY) 2009 AND 2010 VOLKSWAGEN (EOS, JETTA AND GTI) ". WE HAVE A 2010 VW JETTA SPORTWAGON TDI THAT DEFINITELY HAS THIS DEFECT. WHAT WAS STATED IN THAT COMPLAINT HAPPENED TO US: IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE ABRUPT SHIFT TO NEUTRAL COULD LEAD TO A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. THEY WANT $2473.63 TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

RADIO WILL NOT WORK. DOES NOT POWER ON. ALL FUSES ARE GOOD. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS WEB SITE FOLLOWS THE PROBLEMS OF MULTIPLE PEOPLE HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T36009_DS552583?ACTIONMESSAGES=YOUR+ANSWER+HAS+BEEN+POSTED. *TR

WITHOUT NOTICE FACTORY RADIO WITH HANDS FREE/ BLUETOOTH FAILS TO COME ON. WHICH CAUSES A POTENTIAL HAZARD. CAN ALSO CAUSE BATTERY TO DRAIN, PUTTING MORE STRAIN ON ALTERNATOR, CAUSING IT TO FAIL. DEALER WANTS A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE, WHICH FINDS THAT RADIO HAS FAILED. NEEDS TO HAVE RADIO REPLACED. *TR

DRIVING ON 2ND LANE OF FREEWAY. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER - ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON DASHBOARD ACCOMPANIED BY BELLS AND DINGS. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD - FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC NOT HEAVY. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING HOWEVER NO FORWARD MOVEMENT WHEN PUSHING ACCELERATOR PEDAL - ENGINE JUST REVVED. TURNED CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED. WARNING LIGHTS STILL FLASHED BUT WAS ABLE TO PUT CAR INTO DRIVE AND START ROLLING - VEHICLE WAS IN "LIMP" MODE HOWEVER AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 10 MPH. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE ECU RESET. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO RECREATE PROBLEM. ON 8/16/14 THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY ABS CONTROL UNIT FOR AN ESTIMATED 2500.00. *TR

DRIVING AROUND CITY STREET. JETTA BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND THE GLOW BULB INDICATOR BEGAN FLASHING. AFTER TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR I DROVE FOR ANOTHER TWO BLOCKS THEN THE GLOW BULB INDICATOR CAME ON AGAIN PAIRED THIS TIME WITH THE RED BATTERY INDICATOR. AFTER THAT THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK OVER. *TR

THE RADIO UNIT STOPPED WORKING AFTER 4YRS OF USE, THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THE LOST OF BLUETOOTH AND THE ABILITY TO CONDUCT HANDS FREE CELLPHONE CALLS / OPERATIONS THE BROKEN RADIO DRAINS THE BATTERY CAUSING FAMILY TO BE STRANDED AT NIGHT UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND THE RADIO WENT OFF, BLACK SCREEN. HAS NOT CAME BACK ON, FUSE IS GOOD. *TR
