2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH HIGH WIND, THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR PLASTIC PROTECTOR FELL OFF. THE AC UNIT NEEDED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT COSTING 1600 AND NOW THE IDEAL WHILE TURNING ON CAR IS VERY HIGH. SOUND ALMOST LIKE IT DID WHEN I HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE ELECTRICAL RECALL IN THE LAST YEARS. DOORS ARE SQUEAK WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING. AND WHILE DRIVING A NOISE THAT SOUND LIKE CHAINS RATTLES THROUGH OUT THE CAR WHICH IS A VERY IRRITATING SOUND. *TR

THE HORN STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AND TRYING TO WARN ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS COMING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY TOWARDS MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY HORN BUT I WAS CHARGED TO HAVE IT REPLACED SINCE IT MUST BE WORKING TO PASS INSPECTION. WITHOUT A HORN THERE IS NO WARNING FOR OTHER MOTORISTS OR PEDESTRIANS. OTHER JETTA OWNERS ARE ALSO HAVING THIS ISSUE AS I NOTICED ONLINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD REVERSE WHILE IN THE DRIVE POSITION. THE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

LEFT MY HOUSE TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE. GROCERY STORE IS ABOUT 3 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. WAS THEREFORE MAYBE 15 MINUTES, THEN WENT ACROSS THE STREET TO BUY LUNCH. PARKED CAR OUTSIDE RESTAURANT, AND WAS TAKING MY FOOD TO GO. GOT BACK TO MY CAR ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER TO HEAD BACK HOME. ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING RESTAURANT I WAS CROSSING BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN MY GLOW PLUG LIGHT CAME ON, WITHIN IN MINUTE MY CAR HAD COMPLETELY STALLED OUT AND DID NOT COME BACK ON. CAR WAS TOWED TO VW DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL SYSTEM HAD EXPLODED AND EVERYTHING HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR ESTIMATE I WAS GIVEN IS FOR $6,374.48.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACTIVATE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SWITCH, BUT IT FAILED TO FUNCTION. AS A RESULT, THE WINDOW REMAINED IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDOW SWITCH PREVIOUSLY FAILED TO DEPRESS INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. LOST POWER. WENT FROM 70 TO 25 MPH ALMOST INSTANTLY. LIMPED ALONG BERM TO EXIT 2.5 MILES. SHUT OFF ENGINE. RESTARTED ENGINE. LOUD CLATTERING SOUND. SHUT OFF ENGINE AS SMOKE ROLLED FROM UNDER HOOD. TURBO FAILURE. NO WARNING LIGHTS LEADING UP TO EVENT. DEALER HAS PHOTOS.

HEAD LIGHTS BULBS ARE PREMATURELY BURNING OUT.. TEE BULBS WERE REPLACED AT THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP. ONE NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVING BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME AND SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BULBS TWICE AND MY DAYLIGHT RUNNING LIGHTS.

UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY TO TURN OFF VEHICLE, VEHICLE WAS IN PARK POSITION. VW WAS TOWED TO VW DEALERSHIP

2013 JETTA SE WITH 79K ON IT AND THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION - IT'S AT THE DEALER NOW AND I'M SURE FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT'S GOING TO BE RATHER COSTLY TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT VW IS AWARE OF AND NOT WILLING TO RECALL. I HAVE HAD MANY CARS AND NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANYTHING LIKE THIS - ABSURD.

MY WIFE AND HER MOTHER WERE OUT SHOPPING IN SAN DIEGO. THEY SUDDENLY EXPERIENCED ENGINE MALFUNCTION AND SUBSEQUENT STALL OF OUR 2013 JETTA TDI SPORTWAGON. THIS RESULTED IN OUR VEHICLE BLOCKING A TWO LANE BUSY BOULEVARD. THIS STREET IS A NO STOPPING ANYTIME ROADWAY CLEARLY MARKED WITH SIGNS. MY WIFE CHRISTINE, PULLED TO THE FAR RIGHT OF THE SHOULDER AS POSSIBLE. THIS WAS A FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE FOR MY WIFE AND MOTHER IN LAW. THE VW WAS TOTALLY DEAD AND REQUIRED TOWING TO A VW DEALER REPAIR FACILITY. THE SERVICE REP AT VW DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE DETAILS OF THE MALFUNCTION WERE EXPLAINED. APPARENTLY, THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN AND THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED. I AM SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM IS EXTENSIVE WITH THE TDI ENGINES FROM VOLKSWAGEN. HOW COULD I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION?
