2012 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen

Defect. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 Golf, 2007-2010 Passat sedans and wagon, 2012-2014 Passat sedan and Eos, 2009-2014 CC, 2009-2012 Audi Q5, 2010-2012 S5 Cabriolet and 2010-2012 Audi A5 Cabriolet vehicles. Upon deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture.

Risk. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver's frontal air bag inflators, free of charge. Volkswagen issued an interim notification to owners on April 12, 2016, and will send a second notification when parts are available. Volkswagen will notify owners again once parts are available. Volkswagen owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Audi owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834.

Cp4 high pressure fuel pump will self-destruct causing little pieces of metal to go throughout the fuel system and causing thousands in repair lots of manufacturers are doing recalls to this pump but nothing for Volkswagen I have contact the dealer no help if you go online thousands of people it's complaining about the CP4 high pressure fuel pump it has a design flaw from factory and needs to be corrected

I was looking at the GMC Duramax diesel and it has the same problem as the Volkswagen Jetta TDI fuel pump failure due to American Diesel in the pump is designed for foreign diesel which is very expensive to repair can we please have some help with this where they can come out with a replacement pump that can resist American diesel

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagon Jetta Sportwagen. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the accelerator pedal became inoperable and the vehicle did not accelerate. The engine and power steering had failed. The glow plug warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a dealer. The contact was informed that the failure was due to the high-pressure fuel pump which sent metal shards through the fuel line. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

HPFP fuel system failed while driving at speed causing car to stall on highway.

VOLKSWAGEN KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR ABS MODULE BUT REFUSE TO CORRECT IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. CODES: 01130 ABS OPERATION NOT A PLAUSIBLE SIGNAL. THEY NEED TO RECALL!!!

I HAD TO HAVE ALL FOUR SPRINGS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WERE BROKEN. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH VW. WHY ARE THEY NOT ADDRESSING THIS? THE CAR HAD ABOUT 89 THOUSAND MILES ON IT.

DPF LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF AND THEN CAME ON

AIRBAG CORROSION FOUND BY DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER HER BOYFRIEND HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND PARKED IT IN HER DRIVEWAY; HER BOYFRIEND INFORMED HER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE AUTHORITIES WERE CALLED AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO ACTIVE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. A FIRE REPORT AND POLICE REPORT WERE FILED, NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. DUE TO THE FIRE, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY INSURANCE TO AN INSURANCE AUTO AUCTION WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DEEMED DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED HER THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE; THEY OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 81,000.

2012 VW JETTA WAGON THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW AND ALWAYS HOUSED IN A GARAGE UNTIL FEBRUARY 2020. WATER LEAKED INTO CAR INTERIOR CARPET AND SPARE TIRE WELL. NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF RECALL DUE TO SUNROOF LEAKING. REPAIR WAS $900 OUT OF MY POCKET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SPORTWAGEN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM REAR, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BE DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SPRINGS WERE REPLACED 4 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF FIVE YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALER NYE VOLKSWAGEN OF ROME LOCATED AT 5865 ROME-TABERG RD ROME, NY 13440, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH REAR SPRINGS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 53,000.

BROKEN LEFT FRONT & LEFT REAR COIL SPRINGS. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS WAS CREATED BY RUNNING OVER ANYTHING. SERVICE ASSOCIATE BLAMED IT ON RUST DUE TO SNOW, ICE, DEBRIS BUILD UP. HARD TO BELIEVE A COIL SPRING WILL RUST THROUGH IN 8YRS. IT APPEARS VW HAS HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH COIL SPRINGS ON VEHICLES. I CHECKED WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC & HE AGREED THEY WERE BROKEN. FRONT WHEELS ARE OUT OF ALIGNMENT & SQUEAL WHEN LIGHTLY PRESSING ON BRAKE. CAR CAN'T BE ALIGNED UNTIL REPAIR IS MADE. *TR

I NOTICED MY CAR HAS BEEN CUTTING OUT AND NOT HAVING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN A FREEWAY. ILL PUT THE PEDAL DOWN IT DIDNT MOVE. I NOTICED MY STEREO STARTED KIND OF FLASHING AS WELL. I FIGURED MAYBE IT WAS ELECTRICAL SO I STARTED LOOKING AROUND AND I OPENED UP MY TRUNK AND IT WAS 4 INCHES OF WATER WHERE MY SPARE TIRE IS. THEN I STARTED LOOKING AROUND WHERE MY PANORAMIC SUNROOF IS AND THERE'S A HUGE SPOTS OF WATER THAT'S WET. THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS TO ME WHEN I PURCHASE THE CAR AND I ASKED THEM IF THERE WAS ANY PROBLEMS OF LEAKING. I THINK IT'S MESSING UP MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND MY POWER. I FELT VERY UNSAFE WHEN I WASN'T ABLE TO ACCELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC.

WHEN MOVING FROM STOP, TRANSMISSION TAKES A SECOND TO ENGAGE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN TRYING TO TAKE A TURN FROM STOP, HESITATION COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS ACCIDENT. ENGAGE 1ST GEAR.

THE SUNROOF LEAKS ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEN IT RAINS, CAUSING THE CAR TO HAVE FLOODING ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT AND BACK.

ABOUT A YEAR AGO BOTH REAR SPRINGS WERE BROKE AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM. ABOUT A MONTH AGO BOTH FRONT SPRINGS WERE BROKE AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM. ALL THE REPLACEMENTS WERE DONE AT MY COST. I NOW HAVE A REAR RIGHT SPRING THAT HAS BROKE AND WILL NOW HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED. IN MY OVER 50 YEARS OF DRIVING DIFFERENT MODEL CARS AND TRUCK, I HAVE NEVER HAD SPRING FAILURES SUCH AS THIS. I HAVEN'T HIT ANY MAJOR POT HOLES THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE. THIS MUST BE DEFECTIVE SPRINGS. THE LAST TIME I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP HAVING THE FRONT SPRINGS REPLACED THEY SAID THIS IS COMMON. IT SHOULD NOT BE COMMON.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF ENGINE.

VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DUE TO INTERCOOLER FREEZING, ON SECOND OCCASION VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO START DUE TO ENGINE HYDROLOCKING FROM FROZEN INTERCOOLER THAWING OUT. VW HAS RELEASED A BULLETIN FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WILL NOT STAND BY WARRANTY ON SAID COMPONENT.

HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH MY VW JETTA SPORTWAGEN 2012 WITH ITS HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAVING CONTAMINATED THE FUEL SYSTEM IN THE CAR WITH METAL SHARDS CAPTURED ON THE FUEL METERING VALVE. ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE CAR IS A CERTFIFIED PRE-OWNED AND ONLY 11 MONTHS INTO A 2-YEAR BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP, REGIONAL CASE DISPUTE MANAGER, AND TECHNICAL DISPUTE INQUIRY HAVE ALL COME BACK AND REPORTED THAT IT IS AN EXTERNALLY CREATED ISSUE FROM THE DIESEL FUEL I PUT INTO THE TANK. HOWEVER, THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED ONGOING ISSUE WITH VW DIESEL ENGINES WITH THEIR HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMPS DATING BACK TO 2009. THE FUEL I PUT INTO THE CAR WAS TESTED AND CAME BACK ENTIRELY FINE. AND BY VIRTUE OF THE METAL SHARDS BEING FOUND ON THE FUEL METERING VALVE THAT IS WHOLLY INDICATIVE OF THE CONTAMINATION BEING CAUSE AFTER THE FUEL HAS GONE THROUGH THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, TO THE ENGINE, AND THE EXCESS IS RETURNING BACK TO THE FUEL TANK VIA THE FUEL METERING VALVE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE METAL SHARDS WERE ONLY FOUND ON THE MESH PIECE/FILTER ON THE FUEL METERING VALVE NOT ON THE FUEL TANK FILTER ITSELF (WHICH YOU WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE METAL SHARDS ON THE FUEL TANK FILTER IF THE DIESEL THAT I PUT INTO THE CAR WAS THE ORIGINAL ISSUE). THE CAR HAS NO ACCELERATION AFTER APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, AND FURTHER DRIVING OF IT WILL JUST FURTHER COMPROMISE THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE PROBLEM OCCURS VERY SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING, AS IT DID IN MY CASE, WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW FOR CORRECTING
