2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Engine Problems

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY ROAD WHEN I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER MY HOOD OF THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER ONTO A SIDE STREET AND POPPED THE HOOD. THE ENGINE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I THEN PULLED MY PANICKED 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OUT OF HER CAR SEAT AND TOOK HER ACROSS THE STREET. WE THEN CALLED 9-11 AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE HE SAYS THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A FUEL LINE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL FOR MY CAR BUT IT IS NOT FOR MY VIN# EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE SAME CAUSE AS MY CAR'S FIRE!

CAR WILL UNPREDICTABLY STALL SOME TIMES, CLOSE THE IGNITION SWITCH AND ENGINE WILL BE ABLE TO START,,, WILL GO IN LIMP HOME MODE WHEN THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON FOR DTC P00AF....

I HAVE A 2010 VW JETTA WITH 118K ON IT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY ENGINE DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING SOME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I EVETUALLY HAD THE CAR TOWED TO NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND THEY ESTIMATED REPAIR COST TO BE BETWEEN 4-5K RANGE TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN TENSINOR. I DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THOUNDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. VW SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. VERY DISSAPONTED. WON'T BUY ANOTHER VW EVERY AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ALTERNATOR AND TIMING BELT WERE RECENTLY REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. MCKENNA VOLKSWAGEN CERRITOS (18303 STUDEBAKER RD #5328, CERRITOS, CA 90703, 562-741-3035) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A $249 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,193. *BF*JB

THERE HAS BEEN A STATEWIDE LAWSUIT AGAINST VOLKSWAGEN REGARDING 2010 JETTA TIMING CHAIN AND TIMING CHAIN TENSOR. THE DEALER SHIP HAS REFUSED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE EVEN TOUGH IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. RICK CASE VOLKSWAGEN HAS REFUSED TO CHECK AN ISSUE THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAS STATED THEY WERE AWARE OF TIMING CHAIN ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERGE VOLKSWAGEN (385 W BASELINE RD, GILBERT, AZ 85233, (480) 646-4858), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

THE TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM IN MY 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA WOLFSBURG EDITION FAILED, RENDERING THE CAR IMMOBILE. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING LOT, AS FAILURE IN A ROAD COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. BASED ON READINGS, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE CARS WITH THE SAME ENGINE AND HAS RESULTED IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST VOLKSWAGEN.

WHILE DRIVING ANYTIME THAT WE WOULD SLOW DOWN OR PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE WOULD GO RANDOMLY IN NEUTRAL. IT WAS RANDOMLY THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND BECAME MORE FREQUENT. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED SOON. RIGHT BEFORE THIS THEIR WERE ABOUT ANOTHER $3,000 WORTH OF ISSUES WE HAD TO FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DRIVER HAD TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS TEMPORARILY REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO DUBLIN VOLKSWAGEN (6085 SCARLETT CT, DUBLIN, CA 94568, (925) 829-0800), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

OIL LEAK ON BRAKES VACUUM PUMP. USUALLY A CHEAP DEFECTIVE O-RING RESULTING IN BIG OIL LEAK

RANDOM MISFIRE PERMANENT CYLINDER V AND AFTER THE START OF EFFECTS ON THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HEARD TUBA AND SOME OF THE DEVELOPMENT

WHEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IT WILL AT TIMES HESITATE AND STUMBLE SEVERELY TO THE POINT WHERE YOU WILL HAVE TO PULL OVER. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODES NOTED WHEN SCANNED. PROBLEM STARTED RIGHT AFTER VW TDI EMISSIONS FIXES. VW DEALER CLAIMS NO CONNECTION.

SECOND FAILURE OF INTAKE MANIFOLD. VW HAS ADMITTED TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BUT ONLY EXTENDED WARRANTY. HAD THE MANIFOLD REPLACED AT 50,000 MILES ROUGHLY. UNIT FAILED AGAIN AT 150,000 MILES. I DONT BELIEVE THEY ORIGINALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM. VW IS PLACING HIGH COST ON OWNERS TO REPLACE AFTER 120,000 MILES. REPAIR RUNS HIGHER THAN $800.00. FAILURE TO REPLACE THIS PART CAN DEEM THE CAR UNSAFE.

NOT ABLE TO TURN KEY IN THE IGNITION. SOMETIMES NOT ABLE TO START CAR. SOMETIMES NOT ABLE TO TURN CAR OFF.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY FOR GREATER THAN 30 MINUTES, THERE WAS ONSET OF STRONG RAIN CONDITIONS AT ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME -- THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WAS LOST. SYMPTOMS OF DOWNSHIFTING WERE NOTED JUST PRIOR TO ONSET OF ISSUE. DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR RESULTED IN RPM INCREASE WITH NO ACCELERATION IN RELATIVELY FAST TRAFFIC (>50MPH). WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF SAFELY AND SHUT VEHICLE OFF. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IN HIGH SPEED/STRONG RAIN CONDITIONS. EPC LIGHT TURNED OFF AFTER SHUTOFF AND RE-START, AND I ASSUMED A SLIP ON WET SURFACE. RESTARTED AND ATTEMPTED TO REJOIN TRAFFIC. TRAVELED LESS THAN 50 FEET AND EPC LIGHT RE-LIT WITH NO SLIP, FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY LIGHTING OF THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT. SAME LACK OF ACCELERATION AND INCREASED RPM WITH DEPRESSING THROTTLE PEDAL WAS NOTED. TURNED OFF ENGINE ON SHOULDER AGAIN AND RESTARTED AFTER FIVE MINUTE PERIOD IN ATTEMPT...

MY KEY HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TO TURN IN THE IGNITION TO START THE CAR RECENTLY. YESTERDAY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THE CAR STARTED. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR THE KEY WOULD NOT TURN TO TURN OFF THE CAR. NO MATTER WHAT I CAN NOT GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I ONLY GOT THE MOTOR TO SHUT OFF BECAUSE MY SON KNEW TO PULL A FUSE AND THEN TAKE OFF A BATTERY CABLE. THIS IGNITION PROBLEM IS SERIOUS AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CAN'T TURN OFF THE CAR.

ENGINE OF MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE AFTER A SHORT DRIVE, LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO PULL IT ON OUR DRIVE WAY AND MOVE AWAY SAFELY BEFORE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE. WE HAD TO CALL FIRE DEPARTMENT TO PUT OFF THE FIRE.

IGNITION SYSTEM KEEPS FAILING. CAR KEYS GET STUCK AND CAR WON'T TURN OFF AND HAVING A HARD TIME TUNING THE KEY TO START THE CAR. EACH TIME THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE STEERING LOCK IS DISENGAGED.

THE GAS ENGINE CAR STALLS OUT WHEN STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.I TURN IGNITION OFF THEN START THE CAR AGAIN AND GO ON TO MY WAY TO THE NEXT STALL. IT IS NOT BAD GAS AND MECHANICS AND DEALERSHIPS ARE STILL GUESSING WHAT WRONG.

DIESEL FUEL FILTER IS CLOGGING UP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $7,000.00.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL LEAK FROM THE MOTOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENGINE, THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAMS SHORTED SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE SKID WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE TRACTION WAS POOR AND THE SUSPENSION AND STEERING WERE LOOSE WHILE BRAKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V913000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY WIFE'S 2010 JETTA 2.0T TSI EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE STALL AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF CITY STREET. THIS WAS A ROUTINE TRIP UNDER CLEAR WEATHER CONDITIONS. WITH NO TRAFFIC BEHIND HER, SHE SAFELY COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER WAITING 5-10 MINUTES SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND, WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS APPEARING, DRIVE APPROXIMATELY FOUR MILES HOME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, UPON STARTING THE ENGINE, MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRES BEGAN OCCURRING AND THE ENGINE WAS IMMEDIATELY SHUTOFF AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE DEALERSHIP DISCOVERED THAT THE STALL WAS DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILING, WHICH ALLOWED THE TIMING CHAIN TO SKIP SIX TEETH ON THE CAMSHAFT AND THE VALVES TO CONTACT THE PISTONS RESULTING IN THE ENGINE SELF-DESTRUCTING. THEY RECOMMENDED A NEARLY COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT AT A COST...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE GASKET, SEALANT, THE OIL SEPARATOR, THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER, THE TIMING CHAIN, THE TIMING CHAIN CASE COVER, THE TIMING RAIL TENSIONER AND MULTIPLE OTHER UNKNOWN PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS AVAILABLE.

CAR KEPT STALLING AFTER TAKE OFF WHEN YOU ACCELERATED. WHEN TAKING IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP IT WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED THERE. WHEN THEY GOT IT THEY DISCOVERED ALL BUT 1 QUART OF THE OIL IN THE ENGINE WAS GONE. THEY DETERMINED THAT THIS MALFUNCTION DAMAGED THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. HAVE THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 3-5000 MILES AND IT WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 1000 MILES OR SO. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS HAPPENED AND VOLKSWAGEN WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALL OF THIS TOOK PLACE IN THE CITY. WE WERE TO AFRAID TO TAKE IT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR HAS 109000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN A LEMON FROM DAY 1. THIS WAS JUST THE ICING THAT TOPPED THE CAKE.

ATTEMPTED TO START MY CAR ON A COLD DAY WITH LOW FUEL. THE ENGINE WAS JUMPY AND DIDN'T START. I WAITED AND ATTEMPTED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED, DROVE 500 FEET TO THE GAS STATION, FILLED WITH DIESEL. THE LIGHT THEN CAME ON AFTER I STARTED IT AGAIN. I CHECKED THE CODE, P2015. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO DORSCHEL VW IN HENRIETTA, NY. THEY CONFIRMED THE CODE SAID THE INTAKE MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SAYING THE FLAP IS DAMAGED AND THEN SWITCHING TO SAY THE RUNNER IS DAMAGED. MOST OF THE TSI ENGINES HAVE HAD THEIR WARRANTY EXTENDED, BUT NOT FOR MY TDI. THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHERS COMPLAINING OF THIS CODE POPPING UP.

WHILE EXCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT MY CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND LOST MOST OF ITS POWER. I COULD NOT DRIVE FASTER THAN 40 MPH OR 2400 RPM. I CONTACTED VW DEALER AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN WHICH WAS ONLY 8 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. ENROUTE TO DEALERSHIP MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I COULD NOT START THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED WHICH CAUSED MY TURBO TO ALSO FAIL. THE FUEL IN THE TANK WAS NOT CONTAMINATED, THIS WAS JUST A FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR ONE HOUR. I MADE A QUICK STOP AT MY HOUSE TO PICK SOMETHING UP. I PULLED BACK INTO THE STREET AND STARTED TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO PUSH MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS BY MYSELF AND A TOW TRUCK WERE UNABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED. AFTER EXTENSIVE TROUBLESHOOTING, THE DEALER DETERMINED MY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE HAD FAILED AND HAD SHUT ALL POWER TO MY FUEL INJECTORS. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT TRAVELING VERY FAST AT THE TIME NOR WAS THERE ANY SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. THIS COST ~$2000 TO REPAIR.

CAR LOST ACCELERATION GETTING ON HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP AND THEN DIED IN THE LANE OF TRAFFIC. SPEEDCRAFT DEALER SAID THE ENGINE HYDROLOCKED AND THAT THE RECOMMENDED FIX WAS AN UPDATED INTERCOOLER AND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THERE WAS A TSB THAT WAS ISSUED REGARDING THIS ISSUE. UPDATED 02/05/16*LJ *CN

CAR IN SHOP FOR APPROXIMATELY 11 DAYS. ALTHOUGH CAR OUT OF WARRANTY, FIXED WITH AUTHORIZATION FROM VW OF AMERICA AS A "WARRANTY" REPAIR AT NO CHARGE TO ME. BAD FUEL NOT AN ISSUE (TESTED). HPFP AND ALL MAJOR FUEL SYSTEMS/LINES CLEANED OR REPLACED. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE.

P2015 - INTAKE MANIFOLD POSITION FAULT. INTAKE MANIFOLD VALVE MALFUNCTIONS AND STICKS CAUSING A SEVERELY ROUGH IDLE AND ENGINE STALL. THE CAR WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE STARTED AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT IN A GARAGE. THE CAR SUCCESSFULLY TURNED OVER, BUT WAS IN A VERY ROUGH IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE STALLING. CAR COULD NOT BE RUN CONTINUOUSLY AT ALL AT THIS POINT. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN TO OCCUR AROUND 80,000 MILES, WITH NO INITIAL PERFORMANCE IMPACT, BUT THE PART ULTIMATELY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 88,000 MILES WHEN THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED ABOVE OCCURRED.

DEALERSHIP PERFORMED 90K MILE CHECKUP. ALSO ASKED THEM TO DETERMINE IF CEL P0472 WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY. THEY CONFIRMED CODE, AND SAID NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THE ALSO ADVISED THE CAR IS SHOWING INTERMITTENT CODE OF P0638 FOR THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL (BANK 1). WRITTEN ON THE ESTIMATE BY VW DEALERSHIP IS "TECHNICIAN NOTED THAT WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP, VEHICLE HAD NO THROTTLE CONTROL AND WOULD NOT INCREASE IN ENGINE SPEED. TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY AND EXHAUST PRESSURE SENDER. TECHNICIAN RECOMMENDS CUSTOMER NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE --VEHICLE WILL AT SOME POINT STOP DRIVING (MOVING) - IT COULD STOP MOVING AT ANY POINT, INCLUDING CROSSING A INTERSECTION". I HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WHATEVER WITH MY THROTTLE, BUT DUE TO THEIR DOCUMENTATION, IT APPEARS THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE HERE DESERVING OF A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL.

JETTA HPFP. IN EARLY 2013 MY JETTA TDI HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS. THE ISSUE HAS JUST HAPPENED AGAIN, SAME SYMPTOMS. ONLY THIS TIME VOLKSWAGEN IS CLAIMING THE FUEL PUMP FAILED DUE TO CONTIMINATED FUEL. MY INSURANCE COMPANY DENIES THAT FACT AND IS POINTING THE FINGER AT VW FOR A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. THE REPAIR IS UPWARDS OF $5000 AND VOLKSWAGEN IS NOT OFFERING TO COVER IT. MY CAR IS NOW SITTING IN DISASSEMBLED STATE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHILE I AM PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND VW PLAY A PING-PONG MATCH OF PASSING THE BLAME. *JS

TRANSMISSION JERKING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR SET OFF GLOW PLUG/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TURNED OFF IGNITION. WARNING LIGHT RESET. JERKING CONTINUED IN GEAR 1ST TO 2ND AND 3RD TO 4TH.

MY CAR KEEPS THROWING A P0401 CODE EGR INSUFFICIENT FLOW. THE DEALER TOLD ME ITS MIGHT BE A CRACKED DPF FILTER. AFTER LOOKING ON VW FORUMS ABOUT THE PROBLEM ITS GOING TO BE AROUND A $3000 FIX. SINCE THE CAR IS NOT A "CLEAN DIESEL" AS ADVERTISED THE SYSTEM IS GETTING CLOGGED DUE TO THE FACT THE CAR COMPUTER FAKE SOFTWARE

CAR IS THROWING P0401 FAULT CODE FOR EGR VALVE INSUFFICIENT FLOW. DEALER STATES THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER IS CRACKED. ACCORDING TO DATA, VW'S EMISSIONS SCANDAL SHOWS 40% MORE POLLUTANTS SPEWING INTO AIR. THIS IS CAUSING EXCESS EMISSION PART FAILURES. DEALER WANTS $2500+ FOR REPAIRS. ACCORDING TO VW FORUMS, THERE ARE MANY CASES OF EGR AND DPF FAILURES. CONTACTED VW AND THEY WILL NOT ASSIST. MY CAR IS DUE FOR SMOG 10/22/2015 AND IS NOT PASSING.

TURBO FAILED ON TDI

AT 60,000 MILES WE NOTICED A DECREASE IN ACCELERATION AND GAS MILEAGE IN 2010, VW JETTA TDI. THE DEALER SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUES, BUT WE ONLY SAW A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN THE VEHICLES PERFORMANCE. IN BETWEEN THE 60,000 MILES AND NOW 113,000 THE CAR HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED TO HAVE THE EGR VALVE, DPF FILTER, ALL SENSORS,. NOX AND SOX BURNERS TO BE REPLACED AT A TOTAL COST OF $10,000 DOLLARS. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE DPF FILTER WOULD ONLY COST US $1000 DOLLARS TO REPLACE, TRY $4000 JUST FOR IT. WE HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF THE CARE AND FEEL THAT VW HAS MISREPRESENTED THEMSELVES IN THE VAULE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE UPFRONT REPAIRS. THE RADIO, ALL DOORS ACTUATORS AND TRANS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED ON THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN A MONEY PIT.

I WAS DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS THE DPF (DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER) FAILED. THE FILTER WAS PLUGGED WITH CARBON. THE DEALER ADMITTED TO ME THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT AND BAD ENGINEERING THAT AFFECTED MODELS 2006 - 2010. THEY TOLD ME IT FAILS EVERY 100-110K MILES AND HAS TO BE FIXED! I TOLD THEM I WOULD TAKE IT ELSEWHERE TO GET FIXED AS I WASN'T PAYING THAT KIND OF MONEY. THEY INFORMED ME NO LOCAL SHOP WOULD TOUCH IT. THAT IS NOT TRUE OTHER THAN THE LOCAL SHOP HAD TO BRING IT TO THEM FOR THE "SOFTWARE RESET". I HAVE SINCE LEARNED IT MAY AFFECT LATER MODELS BUT CANNOT CONFIRM. THE DEALER WANTED $2300 TO FIX PLUS TAX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER THE GEARS WERE SHIFTED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLUTCH KIT INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DIRECTLY RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V333000 (POWER TRAIN). HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

WHEN TRAVELING ON I10 FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70MPH THE ENGINE WENT TO HALF POWER I TRIED TO GET TO A DEALER SHIP BUT BEFORE I COULD THE ENGINE QUIT WHILE ON THE FREEWAY. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP. ON MY TDI JETTA.

I TOOK MY 2010 JETTA TDI IN TO HAVE THE ECM REPROGRAMMED PER THE NOTICE I RECEIVED FROM VOLKSWAGON THAT SAID THE EGR MIGHT NOT BE READ PROPERLY. THE NEXT DAY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TODAY I HAD THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY ARE ADVISING ME THAT MY DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER IS CRACKED AND HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE LIGHT ONLY CAME ON AFTER THE REPROGRAMMING. VOLKSWAGON KNEW ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE ECM AND NOW I AM STUCK PAYING ALMOST $2000.00 TO GET IT FIXED. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, AN ABNORMAL NOISE COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED PRIOR TO THE ENGINE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP RELAY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. ENGINE DIED AS IF THE CAR RAN OUT OF FUEL. TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT TURNOVER. IT WOULD ONLY CRANK. ACTED LIKE IT RAN OUT OF FUEL BUT THERE WAS HALF A TANK OF FUEL.

PULLED AWAY FROM STOP SIGN INTO TRAFFIC. ENGINE QUIT AS IF FUEL WAS CUT OFF. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROADWAY. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART THOUGH IT DID CRANK. ABOUT A THIRD OF A TANK OF FUEL, 80K SERVICE WAS TWO WEEKS AGO. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO SHOP.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 VW JETTA TO WORK WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED RAPIDLY BLINKING. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. CALLED VW DEALERSHIP. THEY SUGGESTED TOWING MY VEHICLE. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. ACCORDING TO THE VW DEALERSHIP, IGNITION COILS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VW DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS REPAIR. HOWEVER, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FAULTY IGNITION COIL IN PREVIOUS YEARS FOR THE JETTA. I THINK VW SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

VW TDI ENGINE: A POORLY DESIGNED DIESEL ENGINE PARTICULATE FILTER (PF). VW IS IRRESPONSIBLE IN DESIGNING, SELLING AND SUPPORTING REPAIRS TO THIS ITEM. COST FOR 100K SCHEDULED MAINT. FOR TIMING BELT AND OTHER PM WORK @ $3,127, PF IS EXPECTED TO FAIL BETWEEN 90K AND 130K MILES AND IS ON RECORD TO BE A PM REPLACEMENT PART IN THE SERVICE MANUALS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON AT 90K MILES. MY MECHANIC RESET LIGHT TWICE. I EVENTUALLY TOOK IT TO VW AND GAVE THEM A COPY OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN, PROVIDED BY MECHANIC.VW INSISTED IT WAS BOTH EXHAUST PRESSURE SENSORS AT $607 THIS WAS WRONG, LIGHT ON IN 4 DAYS. COST TO REPLACE THE PF IS $6.2K. AT 100K MILES THIS CAR HAS COST ME $9,863 FOR VW SCHLD. MAINT.. REPAIRS THAT VW RECOMMENDS TO BE DONE TO THIS CAR. VW CUSTOMER RELATIONS SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND SUGGESTED...

THE CAR AFFECTED IS A 2010 VW JETTA TDI. EVER SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR, IT HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH RUNNING RUFF OR STALLING OUT. AT 30,426 MILES I HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC AND TEST DRIVE WITH NO ISSUES FOUND. THIS ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE NOTICEABLE, BUT NO SYMPTOMS ARE PRESENT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AGAIN FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON 12/8/14 AT 83748 MILES, BUT THIS TIME THERE WAS AN ESP ERROR THAT FLASHED IN THE MDI DISPLAY AND THEN WENT AWAY. THE DEALER COULD NOT VERIFY THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO STATED THAT HE HAD A SIMILAR VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE COULD ALSO NOT BE DIAGNOSED. AT THE TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I COULD HAVE THE SOFTWARE UPGRADED AND THAT WOULD BE A CHARGE TO ME OR I COULD HAVE THE...

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 VW JETTA TDI IN A PARKING LOT, SLOWING DOWN AT LESS THAN 5 MPH TO STOP. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. NO WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AT ALL. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK TO RESTART IT. SINCE THIS INCIDENT, THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE SPUTTERING AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, GLOW PLUG INDICATOR FLASHED RAPIDLY, INDICATING ENGINE MALFUNCTION. CAR EXPERIENCED A REDUCTION IN POWER. AFTER PARKING IN PARKING LOT, CAR STARTED UP AND APPEARED INITIALLY OK, BUT THEN EXPERIENCED TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE AFTER DRIVING <300 FEET. CAR WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC INDICATES THAT METAL FRAGMENTS/FLAKES WERE FOUND DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT FUEL SYSTEM/ENGINE, CONSISTENT WITH FAILURE OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS CONDITION WAS CONSISTENT WITH PICTURES/DESCRIPTION FOUND IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 23 14 03.
