2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

2010 VW TDI JETTA SPORTSWAGEN CURRENTLY HAS 18675 MILES, HOWEVER, PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES. ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT LOSES POWER AND STARTING TO STALL WHEN IN 3RD/4TH GEAR AND BETWEEN 30 TO 40 MPH. AT TIMES IT IS LIKE A SMALL HICCUP AT OTHER TIMES IT IS QUITE SEVERE AND CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH VIOLENTLY - HAS LOCKED THE SEAT BELT UP WHEN THIS OCCURS AS I AM THROWN FORWARD HARD. OCCASIONALLY SAME THING WILL HAPPEN IN HIGHER GEAR, BUT PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND COMPLAINED ABOUT PROBLEM EACH TIME. RESPONSE HAS BEEN THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE AND CAN FIND NO PROBLEM. ON LAST SERVICE THEY REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER SAID IT "MIGHT" BE CLOGGED. NO IMPROVEMENT - PROBLEM STILL HAPPENING. BUY MY DIESEL FUEL FROM THE SAME STATIONS ALL THE TIME AND THE SAME STATIONS I PURCHASED DIESEL FUEL FOR MY 2004 GOLF TDI WITH 150,000 MILES ON IT AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT CAR. *TR

I HAVE 2 CONTINENTAL CONTI PROCONTACT TIRES THAT HAD BUBBLES IN THEM, AND FAILED WHEN I WENT OVER A POTHOLE AND BUMPED A CURB. VW IS ACTING LIKE IT IS A CONTINENTAL TIRE PROBLEM, AND WHILE IT IS, IT IS VW ALSO BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE THOSE TIRES FOR THEIR VEHICLES. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE, AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR

I BOUGHT THE 2010 JETTA SPORTWAGEN TDI MANUAL RECENTLY, AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE HORN HAS A ABOUT 1 TO 2 SECOND DELAY. THIS IS SOMETHING UNUSUAL ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND YOU WANT TO WARN SOME OTHER DRIVERS. THIS UNUSUAL SITUATION LEADS TO EXTRA WORKLOAD AND STRESS. COULD BECOME TROUBLESOME AND HAZARDOUS. *TR

2010 VW JETTA SPORTWAGEN TDI "GLOWPLUG" LIGHT BEGINS BLINKING, LOSS OF ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I AM FROM FL AND WAS IN THE HOUSTON AREA AT THE TIME. DROVE CAR TO NEAREST VW DEALER. DEALER FOUND METAL PARTICLES IN THE FUEL FILTER AND I HAD TO RENT A CAR TO GET BACK TO FL. THE REPAIR TOOK 2.5 WEEKS AND THE CAR WAS TRUCKED TO MY LOCAL VW DEALER. I WAS NEVER TOLD THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND HAVE SEEN IN SEVERAL FORUMS THAT THIS PROBLEM CAN OCCUR MULTIPLE TIMES.HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP DISINTEGRATION IS SUSPECTED CAUSE. BESIDES THE SAFETY ISSUE OF SUDDEN LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT FUTURE FAILURE DUE TO FAULTY FUEL PUMPS (IF THAT IS THE CAUSE) AND THE $9,000 REPAIR COST. *TR

2010 JETTA TDI SPORTSWAGEN WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION STALLS EASILY AT LOW RPMS. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING, CAUSING A RISK OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE.
