2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

KEY IS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND VERY HARD TO TURN AFTER YOU GET IT LOOSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PLATINUM VOLKSWAGEN - SALES (340 W OLD COUNTRY RD, HICKSVILLE, NY 11801) WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

BOTH REAR SPRINGS BROKE WITHOUT WARNING (AT SEPARATE TIMES). THIS CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AS I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT IT'S A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE. *TR

DRIVING THIS VW JETTA TDI 2011 ON THE 605 FREEWAY SOUTH IN LONG BEACH WHEN THE YELLOW GLOW PLUG LIGHT STARTED LINKING. CAR LOST POWER. WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, I ROLLED OUT OF THE FREEWAY TO AN EXIT. AFTER THIS ENGINE STOPPED. CAR WOULD NOT START ANYMORE.I CALLED VW CARE TO START A CLAIM BECAUSE THIS CAR BELONGS TO THE DIESEL GATE SCANDAL. TO MY BAD LUCK, I FOUND OUT A FEW WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT THIS CAR, 12/17/2019, THAT THEY HAD MANY REPAIRS MADE AND ALSO THAT THE FUEL PUMP WILL GO BAD AND THE REPAIR COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THE LADY OF VW CARE, (800)822-8987 TOLD ME THAT MY WARRANTY FOR THE FUEL PUMP EXPIRED AT 174,620. SHE ASKED ME WHATS THE CURRENT MILEAGE. THAT IS 174,847. SO SHE SAID MY CAR IS NOT COVERED ANY MORE. I STILL ASKED HER TO PUT IN A CLAIM. SHE GAVE ME THE FOLLOWING CLAIM NUMBER:[XXX]. I JUST FEEL VERY SUSPICIOUS AFTER THEY HID SO MUCH INFORMATION BEFORE DURING THE SCANDAL FOR MY CAR TO DIE EXACTLY A FEW HUNDRED MILES AFTER THIS WARRANTY EXPIRES. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE CARS OUT THERE. CAN SOMEONE INVESTIGATE BECAUSE WHY WILL MY CAR DIE EXACTLY A FEW MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRE. HAVE THEY PLAYED WITH THE COMPUTERS TO DO ANOTHER SIMILAR THING? I HOPE NOT. WHAT I HOPE IS THAT IN GOOD FAITH VW REPAIRS MY CAR AT VW OF GARDEN GROVE HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THAT IS WHERE I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR MONDAY APRIL 27, 2020. I HAVE JUST HAD THIS CAR FOR 4 MONTHS. :( TO LOOK UP MY CARS WARRANTY UNDER THE DIESEL GATE: HTTPS://WWW.VWDIESELINFO.COM/ INPUT MY VIN NUMBER: [XXX] NOTICE THAT THEY ADD 48,000 MILES TO THE LAST SERVICE FIX MADE TO THE CAR. IT WAS 126,618 MILES.
