2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF BRAKE AND IMMEDIATELY STEPPING HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS A SEVERE HESITATION/LAG BEFORE THE CAR TOOK OFF CROSSING TRAFFIC. ONCE IT KICKED IN IT TOOK OFF BUT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I NOW WAIT A SECOND OR MORE FOR THE BRAKE SWITCH TO COMMUNICATE TO THE DSG TRANSMISSION TO TELL THE CLUTCH TO ENGAGE. VW MUST FIX THIS AS I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVEN IN A COLLISION. THIS WAS MUCH MORE THAN TYPICAL TURBO LAG WHICH IS COMMON WITH DIESELS. THIS WOULD OCCUR REGULARLY IF I DIDN'T ADJUST MY DRIVING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LAG. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA WAGON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TOO DIM FOR THE CONTACT TO ADEQUATELY SEE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HER WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH AT NIGHT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED REGARDING THE HEADLIGHTS BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN AT THIS TIME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

WHEN YOU STOP AT A LIGHT AND THEN GO TO TAKE OFF THE CAR HAS A SEVERE LAG (NO POWER) BARELY WILL MOVE. IT SHOWED UP ABOUT 2000 MILES 2010 JETTA TDI. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VW JETTA TDI. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AND AN UNEXPECTED INCREASE OF PRESSURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WAS ALSO A NOISE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FUEL MOVEMENT IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK BAFFLE. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK, AND THE FUEL TANK BAFFLE WAS NOT INSTALLED WHICH WOULD PREVENT THE FUEL MOVEMENT IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A SECOND OPINION IN WHICH THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST RESULTS WERE THE SAME AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK MET THE REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 400. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

LEAVING A PARKING LOT AND STOPPING FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE ONTO THE HIGHWAY BUT CAR DID NOT MOVE. AFTER I PUT MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SECOND ATTEMPT THE CLUTCH ENGAGED AND THE CAR MOVED FORWARD. THE CAR IS A 2010 VW JETTA DIESEL. *TR

MY 3 DAY OLD 2010 VW JETTA SPORTWAGEN WITH DSG WAS BEING MOVED IN OUR GARAGE AND IT WON'T ENGAGE IN REVERSE INITIALLY THEN IN ALL GEARS. THE CAR COULD BE LEFT IN GEAR AND NOT MOVE AT ALL. I CALLED THE 24 HOUR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE CAR WAS TOWED THE DAY AFTER TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT WITH A MECHATRONICS PROBLEM AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS ORDERED AND WE'RE WAITING FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 WEEKS. IF VW DSG RECALLED THIS IN AUG 2009, WHY ARE WE STILL SEEING THIS SAME PROBLEM IN 2010? *TR

NEW 2010 JETTA SE WITHOUT RAIN SENSOR WINDSHIELD WIPERS. THE WIPER SPEED DECREASES WITH THE SPEED OF THE ENGINE AND DOES NOT CONSISTENTLY INCREASE WHEN THE ENGINE SPEED INCREASES. WHEN I SLOWED AS I APPROACHED A YIELD SIGN IN A DRIVING RAIN, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SLOWED SO MUCH THAT I WAS UNABLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. AS I ACCELERATED, THE SPEED DID NOT RETURN TO THE HIGH LEVEL AND I CONTINUED TO BE UNABLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDOW. A REPAIR WAS ATTEMPTED, THE WIPER MOTOR REPLACED, BUT NO CHANGE HAS RESULTED. I AM TOLD BY VW THAT THIS IS THE NEW DESIGN FOR THE WIPERS AND THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX. *TR

I HAVE A 2010 US VERSION VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI WITH THE DSG TRANSMISSION. THE CAR HAS AROUND 4500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH THE CAR SINCE DAY #1. THE PROBLEM IS MANIFESTED AS A LURCHING, AND ERRATIC SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION IN GEARS 1 TO 2 AS WELL AS FROM A STOP. EVEN THOUGH I DRIVE WITH A SOFT TOUCH, I CAN RARELY GET A SMOOTH START-OFF BECAUSE OF THE UNPREDICTABLE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE IN STOP & GO DRIVING, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PHENOMENA MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHILE COMMUTING TO/FROM WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND SHUDDERS WHEN IT IS COLD. ALSO WHEN COLD,THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WILL DOWN-SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT LEAST FOUR TIMES. AT THE LAST INSPECTION, THE COMPUTER WAS REPROGRAMMED. AFTER THE REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. A LETTER WAS SENT TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,600.

AFTER I CLOSED THE PASSENGER DOOR OF MY 2010 VW JETTA SPORTSWAGEN, THE FORWARD GLASS OF THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING IT TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL VW DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR
