2014 Volkswagen Jetta complaints

ABS MODUL FAILED AT 74000 MILES

IF I DRIVE WITH THE CAR THE BRAKE-WARNING LIGHT, ABS LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON. IT ALARMS. I BROUGHT IT TO DEALER AND THEY ASKED GERMANY BUT THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WRONG IS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE WITH THESE LIGHTS. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER BUT IT HAPPENS AFTER 20 MILES AGAIN.

CRANK CAR CUT OFF LIKE IM OUT OF GAS... WIRING IS BAD POWERTRAIN AS WELL DUE TO CODE P0341 SENSOR

PROBLEM WITH AIR BAGS. CODE 9437201 WILL RESET BUT COMES BACK.

IN THE FOLLOWING, LB/HB IS LOW BEAM, HIGH BEAM: ' THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR FOR HB IS ALWAYS ON, EVEN WHEN THE STEERING COLUMN LEVER IS ON LB AND LIGHTS ARE REALLY LB. ' THE TURN SIGNAL DASHBOARD LIGHT BLINKS FAST -- LIKE THERE IS A BURNT-OUT BULB -- BUT THEY ACTUALLY FLASH FINE. ' WHEN THE STEERING COLUMN LEVER IS SET TO HB, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE ARE DEAD; OR, THE HB BULB DOESN'T LIGHT AT ALL AND THE LB BULB GOES FAINT. ' WHEN I TURN THE LIGHTS OFF WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THEY STAY ON ' SAY I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT ALL EVERYTHING IS FINE. I TURN THE CAR OFF; WHEN I START IT UP AGAIN SECONDS LATER, THE LIGHTS ARE MESSED UP FINALLY, THE LIGHTS USUALLY STAY EITHER WORKING OR ARE MESSED UP WHILE DRIVING, BUT ONCE IN A WHILE, THEY WILL GO FROM WORKING TO MESSED UP OR VICE VERSA WHILE DRIVING. BUT I WORK AT NIGHT AND LIVE ONLY ONE MILE FROM MY JOB, SO I HAVE NOT HAD THIS CAR ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT LENGTH OF TIME. THE MOST COMMON SCENARIO IS THAT THE CAR HAS SAT FOR HOURS; I START IT, AND THE LIGHTS ARE EITHER MESSED UP OR WORKING FINE, AND THEY STAY THAT WAY UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND STARTED AGAIN.

WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, THE VEHICLE BUCKS FORWARD OR HESITATES. THIS HAPPENS AT LIGHTS AND STOP SIGN. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT CERTIFIED USED THE WARRANT WAS UP IN JANUARY 2019 AND/OR 60,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM STARTED IN MAY 2019 WITH 60264 MILES. LOCAL DEALER TOLD US THAT CLUTCH 1 AND 2 REACHED THEIR TOLERANCE CALL CORPORATE AND ASK FOR A GOOD FAITH REPAIR. CORPORATE TOLD US TO GET IN TOUCH DEALER WHERE CAR WAS BOUGHT AND ASK THEM FOR A GOOD FAITH REPAIR. SELLER WHERE WE PURCHASED IT TOLD US CORPORATE NEEDED TO AUTHORIZE A GOOD FAITH REPAIR. BUCKING AND HESITATION COULD CAUSE COLLISION.

ON JUNE 21, 2020 WHILE DRIVING DOWN A PAVED FLAT ROAD MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING SNAPPED. I DID NOT HIT ANY BUMPS. THE PART WAS NOT RUSTY AND DID NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF WEAR. I HAD THE PART REPLACED. YESTERDAY, AUGUST 3, 2020, THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT COIL SPONTANEOUSLY SNAPPED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PAVED FLAT PARKING SPOT. AGAIN THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ANY RUST, ROT, OR WEAR ON THE SPRING. THE SPOT WHERE EACH HAS BROKEN IS VERY CLEAN.

EPC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY; VEHICLE THROTTLED DOWN AND CONTINUED TO BUCK AND STALL OUT; LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. NO SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC CODE(S) WERE SAVED OR TRIGGERED. THIS CAUSES COSTLY AND UNNEEDED DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS

AFTER STARTING MY VEHICLE I COULD NOT TURN THE KEY TO TURN MY VEHICLE OFF. THE KEY WAS STUCK IN A PERMANENT ON POSITION.

THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP DISINTEGRATED WHEN IT WAS SITTING SO LONG IN STORAGE. DUE TO THE EDITIONS RECALL VW HAD. THERE FOR THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CAR WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN TWO MONTHS. FIRST MY BATTERY DIED ON ME SO I REPLACED IT BUT ODDLY BEFORE THAT I NOTICED WHEN I WOULD TURN ON MY CAR I HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION OR SHAKE IT AND WHEN TURNING IT OFF I WOULD HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD ACTUALLY TURN OFF. SO TODAY I GOT HOME FROM WORK AND IT JUST WOULDNT TURN OFF AT ALL AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AND THEM TELLING ME TO PUT IT FIRST GEAR AND RAM IT INTO BRAKE A FEW TIMES IT SHOULD WORK BUT BUT AFTER 20-30 TIMES RAMING MY GEAR INTO PARK NO SUCCESS. I DONT LIVE IN THE BEST NEIGHBOR HOOD SO THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED LEAVING IT ON AND BRING IT IN THE MORNING FINALLY I GAVE UP AND JUST ABOUT TO WALK IN THE HOUSE MY HUSBAND GAVE IT ONE MORE TRY AND IT TURNED BUT SCARED TO TURN IT BACK ON AND IM CONCERNED IT WILL LOCK PERMENATLY AND JUST LIKE OTHERS I HAVE TO WORK TO KEEP THIS CAR IF I CANT TURN IT OFF WHAT DO NOT ONLY ME BUT OTHERS IN THIS SITUATION DO??????

HEADLIGHTS NEED TO BE REPLACED ON . DOES NOT MATTER THE QUALITY OF BULBS THAT WE BUY THEY'RE BURNING OUT AT LEAST 3 TIMES A YEAR. SOMETIMES SINGULARLY BUT HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT SAME TIME BEFORE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW

I ONLY HAVE 37,000 MILES IN MY CAR AND WAS BOUGHT AS CERTIFIED CAR FROM VW DEALER. CAR MAKES ENGINE NOISE WHILE IDLING AND DIAGNOSIS IS THAT RADIATOR COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH COSTS $740.00 PER VW DUBLIN, CA DEALER. I CANNOT EXPECT RADIATOR FAN TO GO OUT AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND I HAVE SEEN SO MANY THREADS ON THIS ISSUE / TOPIC WHILE GOOGLING... THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH VW JETTA OR VW IN GENERAL. CONSUMERS CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE OR RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR SUCH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES DRIVEN AND COOLING FAN FAILING. THIS HAS TO BE A DESIGN/ENGINEERING ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY VOLKSWAGEN. *TR

MY CAR IS NOT REGISTERING A KEY AND VW DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. *TR

EVENT'S STARTED LAST YEAR IN DECEMBER. VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING INCONSISTENT RPMS AT IDLE NOTICEABLY AFTER 1 MINUTE THAT WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 600 TO 900, EVEN SPIKING TO 1.2K RPMS. RECORDED A VIDEO AS EVIDENCE (VW MECHANIC SAID THAT MEANT NOTHING TO HIM AT "~30-40+ YEARS EXPERIENCE"). WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES CEASE (SOME SAY STALL) AND NO LONGER OPERATE. VEHICLE WILL RUN ON THE HIGH-WAY. WILL START AROUND 80% OF THE TIME AFTER 'STALL' REGARDING REDUCING SPEED TO STOP. LOCAL AUTO-PARTS SHOP CODE READ "P0011 CAM...BANK 1 OVER-ADVANCED". MY CAR IS A SE 1.8L TSI. REPAIR ESTIMATE IS OVER $3,000 FOR WHAT VW DEALER HAD QUOTED AS A "STRETCHED TIME-CHAIN AND FALING TENSIONER." (PAID OVER $150 FOR DIAGNOSTIC.) VW MECHANICS NEVER TOOK A LOOK INSIDE ENGINE TO PROVE THEIR FINDINGS ACCORDING TO VERBAL INTERACTION. WOULDN'T PROVIDE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS I ASKED. MILEAGE PROBLEMS BECAME NOTICEABLE: AROUND 100,000 VEHICLE MILES. VEHICLE HAD NO ISSUES AT TIME OF PURCHASE. REQUESTING RECALL REPAIR AS REMEDY. TO MY KNOWLEDGE VEHICLE IS WITHIN NOMINAL MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO ISSUE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED. ADDITIONALLY, KEY-LOCK COLUMN HAS MALFUNCTIONED AS KEY WAS STUCK WITH ENGINE RUNNING. KEY WOULD BE VERY WARM TO THE TOUCH. NO IDEA WHY OR HOW IT IS POSSIBLE. REQUEST RECALL TO FIX ENGINEERING ERROR WITHOUT OR SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED EXPENSES. WHAT DOCUMENTATION/SUPPLEMENTAL EVIDENCE IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. AVERAGE SPEED FOR OBSERVAT

ITS LEAKING FROM THE COOLING PART ITS GET VERY HOT. *TR

I BEEN TRYING TO GET MY STICKER SINCE LAST YEAR ....I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CAUSE OF THE RE CALL. I BEEN DRIVING EXPIRES TAGS....AM ANNOY ALREADY WITH THIS RECALL T THE DEALER SHOULD HAD TOLD ME SINCE THA BEGGING...MY CAR KEEPING LOSING OIL AND AND. CAN I JUST GET A REFUND

APRIL 13TH,2020 I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. ROAD TESTING PRODUCED NOTHING, BUT P1732 AND P173D CODES WERE FOUND. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED THE VW TECH LINE AND VW INDICATED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS THE ONLY OPTION. MY COST WOULD BE $9236.14. AFTERWARDS, I STOPPED AT THE LOCAL INDEPENDENT GERMAN AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE MY PAPERWORK LOOKED AT. THIS SHOP INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A NEW TRANSMISSION DESIGN, INTENDED FOR THE HYBRID, AND THAT IT WAS FULL OF BUGS. I WAS INFORMED THAT VW KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE AND CREATED A SOFTWARE BANDAGE TO FIX IT. THE FIX WAS NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION, RATHER TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE CAR INSTEAD OF VW FIXING THE ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SHOP ALSO INDICATED THAT NORMAL SERVICE DONE TO CARS WOULD SHOW A POTENTIAL PROBLEM, BUT VW INDICATED TO CLEAR THE CODE AND NOT TELL CUSTOMERS. TRANSMISSION I AM NOT SURE THE EXACT DATE THAT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES BEGAN, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT WAS AFTER MARCH 27TH, 2020. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WORKED ALL DAY FOR NEWS AMERICA MARKETING AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR. ON THE DAY THAT THE ISSUE BEGAN, I HAD BEEN USING E-MODE FREQUENTLY AND I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING HOTTER THAN NORMAL. I STOPPED USING E- MODE. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS DRIVABLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON REGULARLY. WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM, ONLY ODD GEARS ARE AVAILABLE. GEARS 2,4,6, AND REVERSE ARE NOT AVAILABLE. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY DOWNSHIFT

HI I BOUGHT MY CAR 2017 I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL UNTIL OCTOBER.... ITS SAYS IT'S ON FIXABLE SO I CANT GET MY REGISTRATION OR STICKER I WANT A REFUND OR A NEW CAR R IF I COULD GET A RESPONSE RIGHT AWAY CAUSE MYTAGS OR EXPIERD

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT THAT CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY ESTIMATION IS THE DRIVER WHO HIT ME WAS GOING 40-45 MPH.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR BEGAN TO STOP ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. ONCE THE RPM EXCEEDED THREE, THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON. FURTHER ON DOWN THE ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I HAD THE CODES READ AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY I HAD THIS PART REPLACED AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. THE LIGHTS CAME ON ONCE AGAIN AND AN ADDITIONAL LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. THIS TIME THE CAR SLOWED DOWN SO MUCH THAT I WAS ALMOST HIT TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AT START-UP THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WITH AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VOLKSWAGEN KEARNY MESA LOCATED AT 8040 BALBOA AVENUE, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111, 858-300-8160) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. A CASE WAS OPENED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

WHILE EXITING AN INTERSTATE ONTO A CITY STREET, I APPLIED THE BRAKES. AS THE JETTA SLOWED TO ABOUT 15 MPH, IT EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE CAUSE OF THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION IS UNKNOWN. THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION CONSISTED OF THE ENGINE INCREASING IT'S REV WITH A RESULTING INCREASE IN THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARDER AND WAS ABLE TO BRING THE JETTA TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT A HIGH SPEED. I PLACED THE JETTA IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE'S REVVING DECREASED TO NORMAL RANGE. I PLACED THE JETTA IN DRIVE AND HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK THE JETTA TO MY MECHANIC WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM. NO PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANOTHER EPISODE OF SUDDEN ACCELERATION.

MY JETTA BEGAN HAVING ISSUES STARTING ONCE DRIVEN. IT PROGRESSED TO STALLING WHILE IDLING AND AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT FURTHER PROGRESSED TO STALLING WHILE DRIVING, SLOWING FOR TURNS ECT. THE EMC RELAY WAS REPLACED BY MECHANIC. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY VOLKSWAGEN

OUR PURCHASED SINCE NEW AND DEALER MAINTAINED 2014 JETTA ONE MONTH AFTER HAVING THE MICRO SWITCH RECALL PERFORMED (DEC 2019) , HAD A MAJOR SAFETY FAILURE-THE WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE MOVING IN REVERSE, AND IGNITION KEY WAS SIMULTANEOUSLY STUCK. THIS PRESENTATION WAS UNIQUE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I CALLED OUR VW DEALER IN WATERTOWN, VALENTI MOTORS WHO HAS SERVICED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND ARRANGED FOR THEM TO REPAIR THIS. THEY FOUND CODES SUGGESTING A MICRO SWITCH FAILURE BUT CLAIMED THE IGNITION ISSUE WAS RELATED TO THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK HOUSING WHICH WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY GOOD ONLY UNTIL 100K OR 10 YEARS. OUR VW HAS 110K MILES ON IT. I CALLED VW CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY MENTIONED THAT IF THE RECALL ITEM-MICRO SWITCH WAS BEING REPAIRED OR REPLACED AGAIN, THEY WOULD COVER THE STEERING COLUMN LOCK HOUSING. ONCE THE DEALER CLAIMED THEY WOULD REPLACE THE MICRO SWITCH, VW CUSTOMER CARE UPON A SECOND CALL, RENEGED CLAIMING A WARRANTY IS CUT AND DRY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THESE ISSUES WHEN OCCURRING AT THE SAME TIME ARE INTERRELATED NOT TO MENTION A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND THOSE DRIVING AROUND THIS VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS HIGHLY UNETHICAL AT A MINIMUM FOR A MANUFACTURER TO HIDE BEHIND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ITEM WHEN THE SAFETY OF THOSE ARE INVOLVED AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THIS MALFUNCTIONING ITEM. OBVIOUSLY I PAID THE $500 FOR THE UNCOVERED ISSUE AS I PLAN TO HAVE MY 16 YEAR OLD DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT M

THE CAR HAD TRANSMISSIONS PROBLEMS SOON AFTER I PURCHASED IT. VOLKSWAGEN SAID IT REPAIRED IT WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER FOR WARRANTY SERVICE. NOW A MORE SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. AT FIRST IT SORT OF FELT LIKE THE GEARS WERE SLIPPING, THEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED MOVING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS WAS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER. TO TRY TO MOVE AGAIN, I SHIFTED INTO DRIVE FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME, LIKE 30SEC OR MORE, AND THE REVS WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO 10 BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. THEN IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER, AND NOW IT WON'T EVEN TURN ON. I TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND SAID IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. IT SEEMS CLEAR THAT EITHER THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT REPAIRED PROPERLY OR IT HAS A DANGEROUSLY FAULTY DESIGN.

UPON ARRIVAL AT DESTINATION KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION, THIS HAS HAPPEN ON 12 OCCASIONS. TRANSMISSION IS LEAKING AROUND OIL RING WHICH MAY CAUSE IT TO FLOW IN COOLANT. DEALERSHIP STATED RECALLS ARE OUT JUST NOT MY VIN NUMBER. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS VIN TO BE INCLUDED, ASAP.

CAR ENGINE JUST DIED WHILE IN DRIVE, USUALLY WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND COMING TO A STOP. WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR, A FUEL ENGINE WAS REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER THE PROBLEM BEGAN OCCURRING AGAIN. ANOTHER PART WAS REPLACED. FOUR MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED. THE ENGINE STARTS TO SHAKE WILL IN IDLE WITH FOOT ON BREAK. AND THEN SHUTS OFF.

CAR IGNITION STOPPED WORKING WELL AFTER SOME MONTHS OF PURCHASED. NOW, CAR IGNITION IS HARD AND TAKES SEVERAL TIMES FOR STARTING THE CAR. IT'S IS DANGEROUS IN AN EMERGENCY OCCASION THAT I DON'T HAVE MY CAR READY.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

VEHICLE HAS ANOTHER FUEL RAIL ISSUE. THIS WAS PART OF A COUPLE OF RECALLS AND THE VEHICLE WAS "REPAIRED" IN THE PAST BY VW. HOWEVER, THE FUEL RAIL HAS FAILED AGAIN AND VW WILL NOT HONOR THE RECALLS OR PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS KNOWN DEFECT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CATCH ON FIRE. SEE RECALLS #24BI WHICH WAS REPLACED BY #24BL.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE OVERPASS THE CAR CUTOFF ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BY A DUMP TRUCK WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP FOR 7 MINUTES. AIRBAG LIGHT ON SHOW MALFUNCTION OF AIRBAG

THE VEHICLE SKIPPED REGULARLY WHEN LEAVING A STOP LIGHT. AFTER A LONG TRIP REQUIRING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF STOP AND GO DUE TO HOLIDAY TRAFFIC, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND HYBRID MALFUNCTION SYSTEM ERROR LIGHTS CAME ON. WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO BE CHECKED, THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO COINCIDE WITH THE ERRORS THAT WERE PART OF A SAFETY RECALL FOR OTHER VW JETTA HYBRIDS MADE IN THE SAME YEAR AS MINE. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL UNDER THE SAME RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND IT DOES APPEAR THAT OTHER 2014 JETTA HYBRIDS HAVE SIMILAR ISSUES AND ARE ALSO NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

THE VEHICLE IS KNOWN FOR INTERCOOLER ICING AND VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIPS DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE IT. AFTER DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER AND STARTING THE CAR UP AGAIN THE INTERCOOLER HAS WATER BUILD UP FROM CONDENSATION THAT CAN POTENTIALLY HYDROLOCK OR DESTROY THE ENGINE BY PUMPING WATER THROUGH IT.

MY VEHICLE; FOR MONTHS NOW, HAS EITHER NOT STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY OR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THROUGH CITY STREETS AND A MAJOR FREEWAY. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER BUT THE BATTERY HAS POWER. POWER STEERING BECOMES LOST AND I HAVE TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD OR FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS A ROUGH IDOL WHEN THIS OCCURS AND BECOMES UNSAFE TO HANDLE AND CAREFULLY REMOVE FROM A BUSY ROAD.I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO VW SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THET CANNOT FIX IT. NO CODE COMES UP ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND NO CHECK ENGINE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS AS THOUGH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX BY THE DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD IT TO ME, AND SELF DIAGNOSING IS OUT OF MY LEAGUE.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG NOT WORKING/OFF NOTICE ALONG WITH ABS OFF NOTICE AND UNDERINFLATION NOTICE ALL HAPPENED SIMULTANEOUSLY UPON STARTING CAR AND REMAINS ON. CAR ONLY HAS BEEN DRIVEN 18000 MILES SINCE NEW

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. LOST ALL POWER. PULLED OVER, PLACED IN PARK, AND THEN THE CAR STARTED. ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR

AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY AND GOT TO THE OVERPASS I HAD TO STOP, AFTER A ACCELERATED THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER EXCEPT FOR THE RADIO, FORTUNATELY AFTER THE OVERPASS WAS A DOWNGRADE SO THE CAR WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SAFETY ON TO THE SHOULDER. THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE FIRST INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING IN CITY STREETS. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR, SHE HAD COMPLAINED TO ME OF THE CAR NOT STARTING AFTER SHE GOTTEN OFF WORK, WE TRIED TO JUMP STARTED IT AND IT STILL WOULD NOT START, SO IT HAD TO WAIT TILL I GOT OFF FROM WORK. SOON AS I GOT TO THE VEHICLE AFTER MY SHIFT, I TRIED TO CRANK START IT AND THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH OUT HESITATION. WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY STREET, AFTER MAKING A STOP THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I WAS UNAWARE SINCE THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING, SO MY WIFE POINTED OUT THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING TO HER AS WELL, EVEN AFTER WE REPLACED THE BATTERY. SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND HE MENTIONED THAT THIS COULD BE AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM, SO WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AS WELL, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN OR IT JUST WON'T START. I DECIDED TO CHECK THE WIRING TO THE BATTERY AND TO THE DISTRIBUTOR AND AFTER DOING THIS THE VEHICLE WILL START UP AGAIN. LAST EPISODE WAS ON 11/15/2019 AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. WHEN I GOT HOME I REMEMBERED THAT MY WIFE HAD HANDED ME A COUPLE OF LATTERS FROM THE VW DEALER WITCH WE HAD OMITTED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN A CAR LOT. THIS IS HOW I FOUND OUT

TRANSMISSION ISSUE DRIVING HOME ON BELTWAY (I95) TRAVELING @ 58 MPH, WHEN THE CAR JERKED 2 TIME THEN LOST ACCELERATION POWER.

AT ABOUT 70,000 MILES, AS I WAS DRIVING HOME, THE TRANSMISSION ON MY CAR FAILED AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE IT IN 1ST GEAR. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AFTER WHICH THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS DUE TO THE MECHTRONIC UNIT IN MY HYBRID TRANSMISSION FAULTING. I WAS ONE THE HOOK FOR ABOUT $940 A LABOR COSTS TO GET A NEW ONE REPLACED IN MY CAR SO IT CAN RUN. WHEN I SEARCHED ON GOOGLE, I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THE MECHTRONIC UNIT FAILURE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF THE VOLKSWAGEN JETTA HYBRID AND IS DUE TO IT'S FAULTY DESIGN. THERE WAS A RECALL HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY PARTICULAR VIN. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEDAY THE RECALL IS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY VIN AS THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH SEVERAL OTHER 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA HYBRIDS. VERY EXPENSIVE THING TO HAVE FAIL SO EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR.

SUNROOF SHATTERED IN AN UPWARD DIRECTION WHILE DRIVING, SHORTLY AFTER, THE REAR WINDSHIELD ALSO SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. NEITHER TIME WAS THE CAR HIT WITH ANYTHING OR ANYTHING OUT OF PLACE.

2014 JETTA WITH 90000 MILES STALLS ALL THE TIME IN COLD WEATHER. IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC OR STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS. I ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A LARGE 18 WHEELER WHEN VEHICLE STALLED IN BALTIMORE TUNNEL. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, PLEASE REPORT THIS ISSUE IF IT OCCURRING TO YOU.

AFTER FUELING CAR WILL NOT START. ALSO FUEL LINE APPEARS TO BE HANGING

DEALER ISSUED KEYS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF ENGINE IN STATIONARY/PARK POSITION. HAVE TO FLICK KEY FORWARD CAUSING A POWER SURGE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. PROCESS IS GETTING WORSE, NOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON STATING THAT MY FUEL SENSOR IS BROKEN. CAR HAS LOST POWER WHEN ACCELERATING AS WELL. THIS IS ALL CONNECTED TO THE POWER SURGE NEEDED TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. DEALERSHIP STATES, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, IT WILL COST ME UPWARDS TO $1000 TO FIX IGNITION CYLINDER. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IS KNOWN BY THE DEALERSHIPS. DEALERSHIP ONLY ADVISES TO PURCHASE NEW VEHICLE WITH "PUSH TO START." THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST AND LAST VW.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

FUEL PUMP REPLACED. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED. PROBLEMS STARTED AT 54,000 MILES. NO LETTER FOR A RECALL!

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT CATCH GEAR, SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING. HAS TRANSMISSION LEAK & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT TURN ON TO WARN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY AFTER IT WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE FAILURE RECURRED IN AUGUST OF 2019. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND MULTIPLE WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BURKE VOLKSWAGEN (LOCATED AT 519 STONE HARBOR BLVD, CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE, NJ 08210, (609) 465-6000) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V615000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE.

PERFECTLY MAINTAINED 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA WITH 65K MILES ON IT "TIMING CHAINS ARE STRETCHED AND CAMSHAFT ADJUSTMENTS VALUES ARE OUTSIDE OF SPECIFICATIONS MEANING THE CAMSHAFT HAS FAILED". THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE TENSIONER. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED, FELT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO BUCK FORWARD WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, RPM IS INCONSISTENT WITH SPEED. THIS ISSUE WAS ALREADY ADDRESS IN A CLASS ACTION FOR REGULAR VW JETTA'S. MY VECHILE MEETS ALL OF THE CRITERIA WHEN IT COMES TO MILEAGE, THE YEAR, AND MAINTENANCE DONE. HOWEVER, IT'S A JETTA 2.0.
