NHTSA Complaint #10704751 — 2006 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

I PURCHASED THIS 2006 VW JETTA TDI 1.9 TURBO DIESEL NEW IN 2006. AFTER ONLY 50K MILES, VW DEALERSHIP STATED THE TURBO CHARGER WENT BAD AND THE WARRANTY WAS INITIALLY REFUSED STATING IT WAS IMPROPER OIL USED. THIS WAS DISPROVED WITH RECEIPTS AND STILL CHARGED $500 OF A $2300 BILL. A FEW YEARS LATER NOW IN 2014,THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR NORMAL SERVICE AND THE NEXT WEEK, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND VW STATES THE TURBO WENT BAD AND ARE GENERALLY ONLY GOOD FOR 50K MILES. AFTER SHARING MY ANGER ABOUT THIS, IT FELL UPON DEF EARS. I PURCHASED ANOTHER TURBO OUT OF CALIFORNIA, DUE TO NOT TRUSTING VW ANY LONGER. THIS NEW TURBO WAS INSTALLED AND DID NOT COME WITH THE WASTEGATE MODULE FOR IT WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR IT TO WORK. I SOON DISCOVERED THE WASTEGATE WAS BAD AND NEITHER OF THE TURBOCHARGERS WERE BAD, HOWEVER I HAD TO PURCHASE TWICE THE ENTIRE TURBOS SYSTEM FOR THIS ONE $35 PART THAT IS SOLD ON OTHER JETTA MODELS WITH MANUAL WASTEGATE BUT NOT THIS ONE. VW REFUSES TO SELL THIS PART AND REQUIRES THE WHOLE SYSTEM TO BE PURCHASED. THIS IS CORRUPT AND DISHONEST AND PREYS ON THE CONSUMERS. NOW I AM IN THIS POSITION AGAIN. GREAT CAR OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE. ITS RIDICULOUS.. ITS THE SAME ANALOGY OF BREAKING A SPARK PLUG AND HAVING TO BUY A NEW MOTOR TO FIX YOUR CAR! *TR
