2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS OFF AND ON IF I DO NOT KEEP THE SEATBELT LOCKED, EVEN WITH NO PASSENGER. THUS OCCURS WHILE I AM DRIVING AND ASSUME THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, SAFETY ISSUE, AND POTENTIAL AIRBAG ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OFF AND ON FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

MY WIRING HARNESS WAS REPLACED AS MY CAR WAS IN LIMP MODE. 2 AND HALF WEEKS LATER MY LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND AFTER DRIVING IT TO WORK ONE DAY IT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT SO I HAD IT TOWED. AT TIME OF TOWING NOTICED I WAS LEAKING FLUID. TURNS OUT IT WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID AND I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION ON A 5 YEAR OLD CAR. THIS CAR HAS HAD 3 ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND ONLY ONE WAS A RECALL BUT EACH PROBLEM BUT THE CAR IN LIMP MODE CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION NOT TO SHIFT PROPERLY. *TR

EVERY 600 - 700 MILES DRIVING THE ENGINE OIL SIGN COMING UP (NEED TO ADD 1/4 OIL EVERY 600 MILES). I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DELERSHIP THEY LOOK AT IT SAID IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO EVERY MONTH I NEED TO ADD OIL IN THE ENGINE. THIS ABSOLUTLY MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THEY DON'T WANT FIX IT.

THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN STATIONARY FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS THEN CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THE ENGINE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME AND OUT THE VEHICLE FIRE OUT BUT THE WHOLE FROM END OF THE VEHICLE TO THE INSIDE AND BACKSEAT WAS AFFECT BY THE FIRE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL ODOR WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED THE DRIVER EXPERIENCED HEAD ACHES AND WAS CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE THE ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD ILLUMINATED. THE OCCUPANTS HAD EXPERIENCED HEAD ACHES DUE TO THE FUEL ODOR. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER COMFORTABLE VOLKSWAGEN (2035 WEST AIRPORT FREEWAY, IRVING TX) AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V028000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HESITATED BETWEEN GEARS AND EVENTUALLY WENT INTO A NEUTRAL STATE WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH. VERY CLOSE TO AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE AND ALREADY HAVE RECALLS AGAINST CERTAIN VIN BUT SHOULD BE FOR ALL VIN'S. HYBRID SYSTEM ERROR DISPLAYED ALONG WITH SHIFT SELECTOR BLINKING FROM DRIVE TO A WRENCH. CALLED VW CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY ABRUPTLY INTERRUPTED ME AND STATED THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS. VERY SUSPICIOUS.

THE WINDOW HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. I WENT THROUGH THE MANUAL TO TROUBLESHOOT IT, WORKED FINE FOR A DAY THEN RIGHT BACK TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE. EVERYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE DRIVERSIDE DOOR, EXPECT TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE JUST WENT HAYWIRE WITH NO WARNING. THE MIRROR DEFROST DOESN'T WORK AND THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE WON'T OPEN ANY LONGER. WHEN I TURN IT IS NOW MAKING A STAGE SQUEALING NOISE. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES.

THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION COIL SPRING BROKE DURING COLD WEATHER WHILE TURNING OFF THE ROAD TO A STORE PARKING LOT. DID NOT DRIVE THROUGH ANY POTHOLES OR SIMILAR THINGS THAT WOULD STRESS THE SPRING. EARLIER THIS YEAR, IN MARCH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SPRING ALSO BROKE IN COLD WEATHER WHILE PULLING INTO A DRIVEWAY.

SEAT BELT BUCKLE WILL NOT ENGAGE TO LOCK INTO PLACE MULTIPLE TIMES INTO THE BUCKLE ITSELF. IT CAN TAKE AS MANY AS A DOZEN TO TWO DOZEN TIMES TO LOCK. FEW TIMES WHEN IT LOCKS IT DISENGAGES WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED BY CHEST OR WAIST DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS.THIS IS THE DRIVER SIDE ONLY AS OF NOW.
