2007 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Engine Problems

I had a mass airflow sensor signal connection failure which caused morning of the second cylinder in a hole in the piston see you

AFTER GOING TO THE MECHANICS AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS EXPECTING ALL THE PROBLEMS TO BE GONE BUT TO MY SURPRISE THE JOLTING WHEN I ACCELERATE IS STILL THERE. ITS A VERY HARSH JOLT FORWARD ROUGHLY WHEN ITS GOING TO SECOND GEAR, THE RPMS GO TO 4K THEN JUMP DOWN TO 2K AND IT DOES THAT FOR A WHILE. FOR EXAMPLE I'LL BE DRIVING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'LL DO A HARSH JOLT FORWARD AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT WHEN ACCELERATING OR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO AT A STEADY SPEED. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE SEATBELTS ARE NOT RETRACTABLE ANYMORE AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. WHEN I WOULD TURN OFF THE CAR THE GAS WOULD BE REGURGITATED BACK AS IF THE CAR WAS ON AS IT'S COMPLETELY OFF. I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT COMES FROM BUT WATER GETS IN THE CAR WHEN IT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND WENT TO HER TRUNK. AS SHE WAS RETRIEVING ITEMS OUT OF THE TRUCK, SHE HEARD THE VEHICLE ROLLING BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BUT THE DOOR HAD KNOCKED HER DOWN AS THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. AFTER THE CONTACT WAS KNOCKED DOWN, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE ROLLED OVER HER LEFT LEG. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL INTO HER NEIGHBOR'S YARD AND HIT THE NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE DOOR. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE NEXT DAY, THE CONTACT WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WAS TREATED FOR INJURIES TO HER LEFT FIBULA WHICH REQUIRED SURGERY. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR DIAGNOSED...

HAD TO REPLACE BOTH COOLING FANS ON MY 2007 VW WOLFSBURG JETTA. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON CAND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. CAUSING THE PRESSURE RELIEF LID ON THE OVERFLOW BOTTLE TO BE ACTIVATED CAUSING COOLANT TO COME OUT. THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEM WAS 50+ DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. VEHICLE WOULD BE DRIVING OR IDLE.

RECALL -ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING I HAVE A 07 JETTA 2.0L. 2 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED A GAS SMELL WHEN I TOOK MY OIL CAP OFF I NOTICED THERE WAS A LOT OF STEAM/SMOKE & I COULD TELL THAT'S WHERE THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM. THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE OTHER THAN THE STEAM/GAS VAPOR. THE COOLANT LEVEL NEVER MOVES. I WAS ONLY GETTING 15 MILES TO THE GALLON BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE. ON 7/13/19 THE ENGINE SEIZED (LOCKED) UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. I WAS DRIVING MY WIFE TO WORK WITH OUR 5 YEAR OLD SON. I HAD JUST TURNED ON THE STREET OF HER WORK GOING 10 MILES AN HOUR & IT FELT LIKE MY CAR JUST DIED. I COULDN'T EVEN GET THE ENGINE TO TURN OVER. I HAD TO GET MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. WHICH IS WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT...

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION AND I CANNOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE. CAR ONLY HAVE 125K AND MAINTENANCE ALWAYS WITH DEALER.

I PURCHASE MY VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2007 FOR A DEALER IN PALM SPRINGS AREA, I ALWAYS HAD TROUBLES WITH MY VEHICLE. I SHOWED MY FATHER THE AGREEMENT ON THE FORM AND I WAS UPSET TO SEE THEY TOOK ADVANCED OF MY DAUGHTER, THE CAR WAS POSTED AS IS. A MONTH AFTER SHE BOUGHT THE CAR THE TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSING TROUBLE, THE CAR WOULD HESITATER THEN MAKE A CHIRP NOISE AND THEN HIT A FASTER JUMP INTO GEAR. SOMETIMES THE CAR WOULD MAKE SKID MARKS. NOW MY DAUGHTER WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF OUR GARAGE TODAY JULY 27, 2018 AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T SHIFT TO ANY GEARS.

I WAS COMING OFF A RAMP AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO MORE THAN 20MPH. ALL THE GEARS ON THE GEAR SELECTOR DISPLAY FOUND IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER STAYS LIT UP AND AFFECTS THE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS ARTICLES THAT STATES THERE IS A RECALL RELATED TO MALFUNCTIONING MECHATRONIC UNITS. THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL DSG RECALLS. VW CUSTOMER CARE OR THE DEALERSHIP I TAKE IT TO WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN WITH THE INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET ABOUT IT. *TR

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 3 IN THE AFTERNOON TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH WHEN CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF ON GOING TRAFFIC. POWER TO VEHICLE DYED OUT CAUSING ME TO STALL IN THE CENTER OF A BUSY FREEWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. I HAVE CALLED VOLKSWAGEN BUT THEY WOULD NOT TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ON GOING PROBLEM.. MY VEHICLE HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN PROBLEM BUT YET THEY WILL ONLY COVER 25% OF REPAIR COST.. THIS VEHICLE IS A HAZARD.. SOMEBODY PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE QUICK BEFORE THERE IS A CASUALTY.. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD NO LIGHTS, NO GAS, NO ANYTHING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE CAR STARTED BACK UP, BUT I ONLY MADE IT ABOUT 1.5 MILES BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN. VW DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY ENTIRE COMPUTER MODULE (J519) AND THEN LET ME LEAVE THE LOT. I CONTINUED TO HAVE TROUBLE STARTING THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE RELAY FOR THE STARTER BECAUSE IT WAS OVERHEATING. I AM NOW (OCT 2012) HAVING ISSUES WITH THE UNLOCKING OF MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. *TR
