2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WERE FAULTY. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOORBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE TOOK LONGER THAN USUAL TO STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG, SEAT BELT, ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHT INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS HYDRAULIC PUMP WAS FAULTY AND RECOMMENDED THAT A DEALER BE CONTACTED. THE CONTACT CALLED BMW VOLKSWAGEN OF TOPEKA (3030 S KANSAS AVE, TOPEKA, KS, (785) 266-8480), BUT THEY DID NOT ASSIST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,193.

AFTER DRIVING ALL DAY WITH NO PROBLEM, I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I DROVE A LITTLE FURTHER AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO TURN OFF EITHER. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS AND WD-40, THEY WE ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF. IT APPEARS THAT THE ISSUE IS THE IGNITION SWITCH. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS WITH VOLKSWAGEN, YET THERE IS NOT A RECALL. THE REPLACEMENT WILL BE ABOUT $650. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED ELECTRICAL ISSUES INVOLVING ABS AND AIRBAGS THAT WERE CLOSE TO $2000. AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, I'M READY TO GET RID OF THIS CAR AND NEVER OWN ANOTHER VOLKSWAGEN.

ABS ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. FOUND EVIDENCE ONLINE THAT VW EXTENDED COVERAGE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THIS MODULE. FAULT CODE FOR SAFETY RECALL FOR ABS MODULE IS 16V-913. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT MODULE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. IN ADDITION, AIR BAG INDICATOR IS ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. JUST HAD THE CHEAT DEVICE REMOVED TWO MONTHS AGO.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT TO NEUTRAL ALMOST CAUSING MULTIPLE CRASHES ATTEMPTING TO MOVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND WAS TOLD THE MECHATRONIC UNIT HAS FAILED AND HAVE BEEN QUOTED $2,360. THIS IS A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OR CONCERN IF THIS BECOMING AN ISSUE AND THE FAILURE OF THIS DEVICE COULD HAVE CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON 6/01/2017. THE POLICE ESTIMATED THAT THE CAR THAT HIT ME FROM THE BACK WAS GOING 55MPH. MY AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY...EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS TOTALED DUE TO SUFFERING EXTENSIVE FROM END DAMAGE. MY CAR WAS STOPPED AT THE MOMENT OF IMPACT. DUE TO THE FAILURE OF MY AIRBAG MY FACE AND SHOULDER HIT THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME TO LOSE A TOOTH AND CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE TO MY SHOULDER.

THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM IN MY 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA WOLFSBURG EDITION FAILED, RENDERING THE CAR IMMOBILE. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT, AS FAILURE IN A ROAD COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. BASED ON READINGS, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE CARS WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND HAS RESULTED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST VOLKSWAGEN.

THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT IS FAILING DURING ABS OR ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ACTIVATION, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND ESP LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF RANDOMLY.

SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY. NO NEARBY VEHICLES, NO OBVIOUS SOURCE OF IMPACT. SUNROOF WAS IN THE CLOSED POSITION. GLASS MOSTLY CONTAINED ABOVE SUNSHADE (WHICH WAS CLOSED) BUT SOME FELL THROUGH AIR SLOTS AT THE FRONT. VERY LOUD BANG, LIKE A GUNSHOT WHEN IT EXPLODED. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 56F, JUST CROSSING SNOQUALMIE PASS IN WA STATE AROUND 1PM.

TAKATA RECALL - HAD MY HEATED SEATS ON AND ENDED UP WITH 3RD DEGREE BURNS AND BLISTERS DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY BACK.

COIL SPRINGS IN REAR BOTH BROKE NOW FRONT SPRING IS BROKEN. VERY DANGEROUS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRIAT DOWN HIGHWAY
