2014 Volkswagen Jetta complaints

AFTER REPLACING THREE RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHT BULBS IN MY 20K MILES OF OWNERSHIP, LAST WEEK BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AS IF A RELAY WAS CONTINUOUSLY BEING TRIGGERED. I HAVE HEARD LOTS OF STRANGE RELAY SOUNDS(CHATTER) FROM BENEATH THE DASH OF THIS VEHICLE. I CHECKED FUSES; THOUGH VOLKSWAGEN DOES NOT PROVIDE OR PUBLICLY PUBLISH FUSE BOX DIAGRAMS, I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM CONTINUITY ON EACH FUSE. MY NEXT STEP WAS TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS SO AS USUAL I BOUT THE TOP OF THE LINE BULB FOR THE CAR, THIS DIDN'T CHANGE A THING. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER WHO CLAIMS THE BULBS JUST BURNT OUT AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE I WAS USING "AFTERMARKET BULBS". IN OTHER WORDS, I WOULD HAVE TO BRING MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TO REPLACE SIMPLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS BULBS AND FUSES. AS AN ELECTRONICS SPECIALIST WORKING IN RESEARCH AND DESIGN I FIND THE RATE AT WHICH THE BULBS ARE FAILING TO BE BOTH ALARMING AND INDICATIVE OF A PROBLEM SOME WHERE ELSE IN LIGHT POWER CIRCUIT (RELAYS, SHORTS, TOLERANCES) . IT SEEMS LIKE MANY OTHER VW JETTA OWNERS FOR 2011-2014 ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO BRING MY CAR IN TO A SHOP TO HAVE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME VW PUBLISHES NO INFORMATION FOR THE VEHICLE OWNER TO TROUBLESHOOT THESE ISSUES ON THEIR OWN. KINDA SEEMS WRONG, MAYBE ILLEGAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND HESITATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALEXANDRIA VOLKSWAGEN (107 WEST GLEBE RD, ALEXANDRIA, VA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE GASKET AND OIL PAN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE KEY BECAME STUCK AND FRACTURED INSIDE THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE FAILURE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V182000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR FOR 100 DAYS AND STILL NOT FIXED. 2014 - 2 CLUTCHES AND A REBUILT TRANSMISSION LATER. CAR WAS RETURNED, SAME DAY 5TH GEAR WENT OUT AGAIN ON INTERSTATE 95 ALMOST KILLED MY SON.

THE HORN ON MY 14' VW JETTA SE HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. IT WILL WORK LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO BLOW THE HORN AT SOMEBODY (SOMETIMES) AND THEN NOT WORK AGAIN FOR 2-14 DAYS.

THE HORN DOES NOT WORK, ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING OR IN PARK, WHEN YOU PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR FOR IT TO START OTHERWISE IT WILL CUT OFF, HEATER BLOWS A LITTLE ON 2 OTHER THAN THAT BLOWS OUT COOL AIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER (NORM REEVES VOLKSWAGEN SUPERSTORE IRVIN, 20 AUTO CENTER DR, IRVINE, CA 92618, (866) 938-3392) CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V182000 (POWER TRAIN). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

RUST-ROTTED FUEL LINE CLAMP FAILURE RELEASED GASOLINE FUMES: I SMELLED RAW GASOLINE FUMES AFTER OPENING THE RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR TO LET OUT A PASSENGER AFTER DRIVING ABOUT A HALF A MILE FROM A COLD START. A MECHANIC TRACED THE FUMES TO A RUST-ROTTED CLAMP ON THE FUEL LINE THAT WAS ALLOWING RAW GASOLINE FUMES TO ESCAPE. HE SAID THE CLAMP WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE 'ON THE LINE THAT GOES TO THE INJECTOR FUEL RAIL NEAR THE FIREWALL.' I COLLECTED PART OF THE FAILED CLAMP FROM THE MECHANIC. IT APPEARED TO BE RUSTED AND OF AN INFERIOR MATERIAL NOT APPROPRIATE FOR SAFE USE ON A FUEL LINE. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED IT FROM TWO ANGLES.

MULTIPLE IGNITION COILS FAILED. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION. WIFE STRANDED ON BUSY FREEWAY. FAILING IS BAD ENOUGH. THEY ARE MADE PRIMARILY OF RUBBER AND ARE MELTED TO THE SPARK PLUG AND CANNOT BE REMOVED BY NORMAL MEANS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (BOUCHER VOLKSWAGEN OF FRANKLIN, 6420 S 108TH ST, FRANKLIN, WI 53132), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

CHRONIC ISSUE WITH KEY EITHER NOT TURNING TO START IGNITION OR FAILING TO TURN TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IN PARK. SALES PERSON SUGGESTED, "JUST TURN THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH A LOT UNTIL IT WORKS. IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE." AFTER NUMEROUS INCIDENCES VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ATTEMPTED TO HAVE ME PAY FOR THE FAILURE OF THEIR PRODUCT. UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THE HOUSING FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART IS COVERED, BUT NOT THE PART ITSELF. DEFECT IN THE PART IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS.

JANUARY, THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD LIGHT STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON THE CITY STREET (REPLACED LIGHT). MARCH, THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD LIGHT STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON CITY STREET (REPLACED LIGHT). JUNE, BOTH HEAD LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER, BOTH WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON RESIDENTIAL ROADS (AGAIN, REPLACED LIGHTS). NOVEMBER, BOTH LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING SHORTLY AFTER I LEFT WORK AND WAS LESS THAN A BLOCK AWAY, AT NIGHT. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, DEALERSHIP REPORTS NO ISSUES, BUT DOES ACKNOWLEDGE ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE TYPE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS TO BE A LIGHT BULB ISSUE (AS IMPLIED BY THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT) AND I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF ANYONE WHO MAY ALSO ENCOUNTER THIS PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IN PARK, BUT ENGINE WAS RUNNING. I WAS IN PASSENGER SEAT AND REACHED OVER TO TURN CAR OFF WITH KEY. I TURNED KEY TO TURN CAR OFF AND CAR ROLLED FORWARD 50 FEET RUNNING INTO A ROCK ENCASED RAISED FLOWER BED SUSTAINING $5000 WORTH OF DAMAGE.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. UNABLE TO TURN OFF ENGINE.

HORN AND CAR ALARM STOP WORKING SINCE 09/03/2017. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN MY HORN STOP WORKING, AS SOON AS I GOT A CHACE TO PULLED OVER, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY CAR ALARM STOPPED WORKING TOO, I CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIXE IT THE ISSUE THAT IT SEEMS IT A MANUFACTURER RECALL BUT I'M GETTING CHARE FOR IT.

CAR WAS ON, STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT AND VEHICLE STALLED - ENGINE SHUT OFF. TWO DIFFERENT TIMES ON AUGUST 26, 2017.

WHEN MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED, THE VW EMBLEM ON THE STEERING WHEEL POPPED OPEN TO THE LEFT AND THE AIRBAG PUSHED IT INTO MY LEFT ARM WHICH CAUSED A BURN AND MY ARM TO BLEED. I KNOW HAVE A GOOD SCAR ON MY LEFT ARM. IF THAT EMBLEM WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN THERE OR WOULD HAVE MAYBE OPENED DOWNWARDS I WOULD HAVE WALKED AWAY WITH A SMALL AIRBAG BURN TO THE RIGHT HAND ONLY.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, IN THE ON POSITION, REPEATEDLY, SO YOU CAN'T TURN OFF THE ENGINE. VARIOUS "BAND AID FIXES" POSTED ONLINE BY SIMILAR SUFFERERS OF THIS PROBLEM, SUCH AS PUTTING IT IN DRIVE THEN IN PARK REPEATEDLY, OR APPLYING STRONG INWARD PRESSURE WHEN TURNING THE KEY ONLY "HELP" INTERMITTENTLY. FINALLY NOTHING WORKED, AND HAD TO LEAVE IT IN PARK, IDLING AND UNLOCKED WHILE WAITING FOR A LOCKSMITH/MECHANIC TO COME REMOVE THE IGNITION, IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD, NOT MECHANICALLY, BUT FOR THEFT, IN AN EMERGENCY, OR JUST GOING ABOUT THE DAY. THE VEHICLE SAT AT IDLE FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE THE LOCKSMITH COULD COME. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE JETTA, AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

I PURCHASED MY 2014 JETTA SE 1.8T. DEALER ON MARCH 24 TH 2014. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL . I NEVER WENT BACK GOT SERVICE THERE HOWEVER THE SAME DEALER REPORTED THIS RECALL WAS PERFORMED HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2014/RCMN-14V182-3299 MY CONCERN IS THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ISSUES 1 WITH THE CHARCOAL CANISTER WHICH WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FUEL RAIL RECALL AND CAUSE MY CAR TO SHOWS SIGNS OF S FAILING TURBO WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED . HOWEVER THIS JETTA A6. IS PZVE VEHICLE AND COVERED UP TO 12 -15 YEARS 150,000 MILES THE FIRST CLAIM I FILED WAS NOT HONORED BY VW. AND I WASH TOLD I COULD DRIVE MY CAR W/O ISSUE. THEN MY TRANSMISSION. FAILS AND I AM CERTAIN MY FUEL PROBLEM MY ENGINE LIKE MY EPC LIGHT AND ALL THE ABOVE ARE RELATED. BUT IN THIS CASE THE FACT THAT I WAS NEVER CONTACTED ABOUT THIS RECALL AND IT DOES SHOW ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS 3 DAYS AFTER I DROVE OFF THE LOT I WAS LATER INFORMED BY FORMER TECHS THAT IT NEVER HAPPENED WHICH MAKES SELFIE AS I NEVER RETURNED TO THAT LOT UNTIL 10/28/2016. SO IT WAS NOT DONE. I HAVE BEEN APPROACHED NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING BEING TOLD THAT S FLAME EXISTED UNDER MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING BUT I DID NOT PUT IT TO ANYTHING NOW I REALIZE AND FEEL AS THOUGH I WAS SOLD A LEMON OR CAR CONTAINING FAULTS THAT WERE UNFORESEEN CAR LITERALLY JUST QUIT AFTER DRIVING OFF MCKENNA LOT AFTER SERVICE DTLA VW CLAIMS I MAY HAVE A FAILING TURBO ERROR CODE READ BUT NEVER ADDRESSED UNTIL AFTER I LEFT W

HEADLIGHT BULBS CONTINUOUSLY BURNOUT. HAVE REQUIRED REPLACEMENT EVERY 2000-2500 MILES OR LESS. SOMETIMES ONE SIDE BURNS OUT ONLY. WHEN THAT SIDE IS REPLACED, THE OTHER SIDE WILL BURNOUT IN 2 WEEKS OR LESS TIME UNDER NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING. THIS IS MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT THAT IS KNOWN TO VW.

PREMATURE BURNOUT ON THE LOW BEAMS. REPLACED THE BULBS 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS. PASSENGER SIDE THE FIRST TIME, BOTH THE SECOND TIME (9 MONTHS) AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE AGAIN (6 MONTHS).

IGNITION KEY GETS STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AND CANNOT TURN THE CAR OFF. IT ALSO STICKS WHEN OFF AND CANNOT GET THE CAR STARTED. IN A WEB SEARCH I FIND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE COST TO REPLACE IS ~$800 THIS IS A REPEATED PROBLEM AND HAPPENS ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS. VW CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.

KEY STUCK IN RUNNING POSITION. CAR WILL NOT STOP RUNNING. CANNOT TURN CAR OFF

THE VEHICLE WAS IN A FRONT-END COLLISION AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL WAS NOT RECALLED AND MAYBE SHOULD BE??? VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, REAR-ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. THE ENTIRE FRONT END IS SMASHED IN. NO AIRBAGS ACTIVATED - NEITHER DRIVER NOR PASSENGERS SIDE.

MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. MY CAR WAS MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT MY VEHICLE AT A FAST SPEED

CAN NOT TURN IGNITION TO "OFF" POSITION WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING. CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK L, PARKED IN GROCERY STORE FL T SURFACE PARKING LOT. DROVE CAR BACK HOME,TRIED AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. CAR WAS STATIONARY.

IGNITION KEY WILL NOT ROTATE IN IGNITION SWITCH TO TURN ENGINE OFF. THIS IS A COMMON DEFECTIVE DESIGN CONDITION IN THE NON-KEYLESS MODELS. ONE TRICK LEARNED ON INTERNET IS TO TAP END OF KEY WITH SCREWDRIVER HANDLE WHILE LIGHTLY TURNING IN OFF DIRECTION. SAFETY CONCERN IS INABILITY TO TURN CAR ENGINE OFF IN EMERGENCY, ELECTRICAL FAULT/FIRE OR FOR POLICE SAFETY.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK ON 4/14/17 AT 6:15AM THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME WHEN I WAS DRIVING 60MPH. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE NO MORE THAN 40MPH. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE AND HAD TO PULL TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AS OTHER CARS TRAVELED AT HIGH SPEEDS. I MANAGED TO DRIVE TO THE SHOULDER. I ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED AND DRIVE BUT MY VEHICLE DID NOT ADVANCE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE VW DEALERSHIP IN SAN BERNARDINO, CA. I WAS FORCED TO PAY $135 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REASON MY CAR DID NOT WORK WAS BECAUSE MY TRANSMISSION HAD LEAKED ALL THE OIL. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE COOLING UNIT FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND LINES HAD TO BE REPLACED. I DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVE BUT TO PAY $1086.00 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. AFTER REVIEWING THE NHTSA WEBSITE I CAME ACROSS NHTSA CAMPAIGN 14V182000. I INFORMED THE SERVICE ADVISOR OF THE CAMPAIGNED AND SHE SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. ALL THE COMPONENTS MENTIONED IN SUCH RECALL WERE THE ONES THAT APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL VEHICLES ALSO MATCHED MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY RECALL AND I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH COST $5703. MY VEHICLE HAD 99107 MILES WHEN IT WENT IN FOR REPAIRS. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED AND TEST DROVED BY THE SENIOR SHOP F

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLASHED. THE DRIVER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND BACK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE INJURIES TO THE OTHER VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WERE UNKNOWN. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO THE COLLISION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FLASHING INSTRUMENTAL PANEL LIGHTING AND INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE. AT THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY HEADLIGHTS GOING OF YESTERDAY WHEN I TURN ON I HAVE TO DRIVE BACK HOME ON DARK ROAD! THIS WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED SITUATION SINCE THE DEALER SELL THIS CAR TO ME AS A CERTIFIED VEHICLE, ALSO MY CAR VIBRATES EVERYTIME THAT I BREAKING ON THE ROAD THAT STAR HAPPENING RIGHT AFTER I TAKE THE CAR OOUT OF THE DEALER!

FLASHING GLOW PLUG LIGHT WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN DIED IN TRAFFIC, WOULD NOT RESTART. DEALER DIAGNOSED: DIESEL HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. PUMP DEBRIS CONTAMINATES FUEL SYSTEM, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF FUEL INJECTORS, LINES, LOW PRESSURE PUMP, AND CLEANING FUEL TANK. ESTIMATED COST $6,700.

HEADLAMPS AND FOG LAMPS BURNING OUT. MAY BE BAD 173 OR 109 RELAY OR WIRE COMING FROM FUSE BOX, FUSE 16 IS TOO SMALL. MAY ALSO BE BAD SOFTWARE IN HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE.

THE CAR BROKE DOWN JUST AFTER A DASH LIGHT CAME ON; LITERALLY JUST STOPPED RUNNING. THE CAR WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT TURNOVER. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND OUT OF HARMS WAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED. THE GENTLEMAN I SPOKE WITH STATED THEY DID NOT EVEN RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC BECAUSE THEY CHECK THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FIRST. WHEN THEY CHECKED IT, THEY FOUND "METAL SHAVINGS" AND QUOTED A COMPLETE REBUILD OF THE SYSTEM BECAUSE "THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW FAR THE METAL SHAVINGS" TRAVELED. THE CAR IS OUT OF THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY BUT THE MECHANIC STATED HE USUALLY SEES EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. NOT ONLY DOES THIS CAR FALL UNDER THE EMISSIONS LAWSUIT, NOW THIS.
