2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

BOTH EXHAUST PRESSURE SENSORS MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING VEHICLE INDICATOR LAMP TO ILLUMINATE AND FAILED EMISSIONS TEST. QUOTED $595.00 FOR REPAIR WORK, AFTER REPAIRS VEHICLE STILL WILL NOT PASS EMISSIONS TEST. *TR

HAD DRIVEN JUST A FEW MILES AND WAS COMING UP TO A STOP AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. GLOW PLUG LIGHT LIT FOR A SECOND AND ENGINE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED. ENGINE WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULD NOT START. HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PROBLEM IS THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. I DRIVE LONG DISTANCE IN THIS CAR AT ALL TIMES OF DAY. THE CAR DIED IMMEDIATELY, LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

7/6/13 AC NOT WORKING AT ALL. ALL MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE AC-COMPRESSOR AND DRIER- WERE REPLACED 7/18/2013 BY VW. AC WORKED FINE FOR REST OF 2013 SEASON. MAY 2014 DELAYED/INTERMITTENT COOLING IN LAS VEGAS, NV. 6/18/14 TOOK TO VW IN HENDERSON, NV AND TOLD THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. WARRANTY IS 12 MONTHS/12K- 16+K MILES PUT ON CAR BY THE TIME I TOOK IT TO VW IN 6/14-THEREFORE NO WARRANTY. VW RECHARGED SYSTEM AND COOL/COLD AIR BLOWING WHEN TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS UNDER 105 DEGREES. WHEN OUTSIDE TEMP IS 105+DEGREES- AC CUTS IN AND OUT-2 MIN ON/10 OFF/REPEAT. TOOK IT TO VW SERVICE FOR AC DIAGNOSTIC ON THURS 8/7/14 AT 10AM AND GOT THE CAR BACK 8/8/14 AT 4PM. VW SAYING THAT THE WHOLE AC UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED-AC COMPRESSOR, DRIER, CONDENSER, RECEIVER, ACCUMULATOR. VW OF AMERICA WAS CONTACTED AND REGIONAL MANAGER WILL NOT ASSIST WITH COST...

I HAD WHAT APPEARS TO BE A FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE. I WAS TURNING LEFT AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT. I WAS TRAVELING AT @20 MPH. 100 YARDS DOWN THE BLOCK, THE ENGINE LOST POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AS DID THE DIESEL COIL ICON. THE CAR WAS DEAD INSTANTLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO GRADUAL FAILURE, NO TIME TO GET OUT OF THE STREET. PLEASE NOTE, I HAD MY VEHICLE REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE VW DEALERSHIP, INCLUDING INSTALLING THE FUEL INTAKE COUPLING THAT WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THERE WAS SOME BAD DIESEL GOING AROUND IN THE COUNTY WHERE I LIVE, BUT WHEN PRESSED ADMITTED THE BAD FUEL HAD NOT BEEN TRACED TO ANY PARTICULAR BRAND, BUT HAD APPEARED RANDOMLY. HE DID SAY THAT MY ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM WOULD BE REPLACED ON VW'S DIME, EVEN THOUGH I AM...

VEHICLE STALED OUT WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD CAR TOWED TO VW DEALER, AND IT TOOK 8 DAYS FOR THEM TO FIX. THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND CONTAMINATED THE WHOLE SYSTEM. IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT I WAS LUCKY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THE 2010 JETTA WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY IT WOULD HAVE COST $4660.22 TO FIX IT.

ESP ERROR. CAR WOULD NOT START. CONDENSATION IN CHARGE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM CAUSED FAILURE IN ESP SYSTEM AND AIR INTAKE. *TR

I WAS AT A LIGHT IN FIRST GEAR AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE ENGINE WAS IDLING ROUGH. (NOT THE FIRST TIME, BUT VW COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG). THE RPM ON IDLING IS NORMALLY 800. IT WAS UP TO 1,000. IT SPUTTERED TWICE AND HICUPPED FROM 1000 TO 700 TO 1000 TO 700 IN THE PERIOD OF 3 SECONDS. MY CLUTCH WAS IN AS WAS THE BRAKE AND I WAS IN FIRST GEAR SINCE I WAS AT A LIGHT BUT AT A STANDSTILL. THE CAR SUBSEQUENTLY STALLED WITHOUT ME HAVING MOVED THE CAR. THE CAR RESTARTED AND I STILL DETECTED THE ROUGH IDLE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. IN MARCH THE CAR CUT OFF WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT. ON 4/17/12, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN COMING TO A STOP FROM AN OFF RAMP. *JS

ENGINE COMPLETELY AND SUDDENLY STALLED OUT AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION. THE CAR WAS RESTARTED WITHOUT HESITATION OR DELAY. *TR

COMPLETE ENGINE SHUT-OFF, WITHOUT WARNING OR STUMBLING, INCLUDING ALL SUPPORT SYSTEMS (POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, ETC). NO DASH LIGHTS, ETC. AFTER 30 SECONDS, CAR RESTARTS. HAS NOW HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALER HAS EXAMINED AND OFFERS NO EXPLANATION OR FIX, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T "REPLICATE" THE PROBLEM, AND CAR THROWS NO CODES WHEN FAILURE OCCURS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE SUDDENNESS OF THE FAILURE LEAVES LITTLE TIME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, SOMETIMES FORCING DRIVER TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! *TR

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP THE CAR HESITATES WHILE IDLING AND THEN WHEN YOU START TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO GO IT HESITATES MORE AND ALMOST STALLS. THE COOLING FAN SEEMS TO RUN EXCESSIVELY AFTER TURNING OFF MOTOR. *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES IN THE PAST MONTH WITH MY VEHICLE EITHER STALLING IMMEDIATELY AFTER START (WHILE CLUTCH STILL DEPRESSED) OR SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING. VOLKSWAGEN HAS IDENTIFIED THIS AS AN ISSUE WITH THE INTERCOOLER; THERE IS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN THAT IS LETTING WATER INTO THE AIR PIPES WHICH IS COLLECTING AND FREEZING. THREE TIMES THIS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, ONE TIME WHILE CROSSING A LANE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC GOING 50MPH. VW DRAINED THE INTERCOOLER TWO WEEKS AGO AND SENT ME ON MY WAY BECAUSE THE PART IS BEING REDESIGNED AND IS ON BACKORDER. A WEEK LATER MY CAR FAILED SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY, STRANDING ME ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO MY DRIVEWAY. VW DEALERSHIP AND CUSTOMER CARE WERE CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND. MONDAY I HAD TO TAKE A TOW TRUCK RIDE 1.5 HOURS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY'VE DRAINED...

THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN TWO WEEKS WHERE MY VW JETTA TDI AUTOMATIC (DSG) 2010 CAR WITH 58K MILES STALLED. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER, HAVE NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE CAR AND HAVE COMPLETED ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE. SYMPTOM. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING CAR AND COMMENCING TO DRIVE, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STALLED WITH JUST OVER 100 FT OF MOTION. I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WITH SLIGHT HESITATION, THE ENGINE STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING. IN THE FIRST OCCURRENCE (APPROXIMATELY 1/5/12), THE CAR WAS PARKED OUTSIDE AT WORK FOR 8 HOURS AND THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS IN THE LOW 30S. THIS STALL OCCURRED IN THE PARKING LOT THE SECOND EVENT (1/15/12), THE CAR HAD BEEN IN THE GARAGE FOR JUST OVER 2 HOURS AND THE OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 20. THIS STALL OCCURRED AFTER BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONTO RESIDENTIAL STREET AND STALLED AFTER COMMENCING...

VEHICLE HESITATES, USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT SOMETIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND STALLED COMPLETELY IN INTERSECTIONS TWICE. INITIALLY THIS WAS MOST OFTEN ON A COLD START, WITHIN THE FIRST 5-10 MILES, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. IT MIGHT DO IT ONCE A DAY, ONCE A WEEK, OR ONCE EVERY TWO OR THREE WEEKS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM TO BE FUEL SYSTEM RELATED AND NOT TRANSMISSION. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO DEALER WITH EACH SERVICE CALL (3 SO FAR, I HAVE 20K MILES TO DATE). DEALER INITIALLY SUGGESTED BAD FUEL AND TO BUY ONLY CHEVRON, BUT THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN FUEL SOURCE AND HESITATION, NO EVIDENCE OF WATER IN FUEL FILTER, ETC., AND I USUALLY PURCHASE CHEVRON FUEL. DEALER REPORTED BEING UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM WITHOUT "CODES". VEHICLE HESITATED AGAIN (11/25/11), WITHIN ONE BLOCK OF DRIVING AFTER 20K SERVICE. I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO DEALER, AND THEY WERE STILL UNABLE TO...

2010 VW JETTA TDI WITH ROUGHLY 35,650 MILES. WHILE DRIVING UP THE ON-RAMP TO ENTER THE INTERSTATE, GLOW PLUG DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND WARNED TO "CHECK ENGINE NOW." WITHIN 20 SECONDS, THE CAR LOST ALL POWER, AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE (WITH DRIVERS FLYING BY AT 65+MPH AT 9:45PM). VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE VW DEALERSHIP. SERVICE REP CLAIMED "FUEL CONTAMINATION," WITH METAL SHARDS ALL THROUGHOUT THE FUEL SYSTEM. ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED ($10,000 REPAIR) WITH EQUIVALENT, NEW PARTS. ACCORDING TO VW SERVICE TECHNICIANS, THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATED DESPITE VW'S KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM. AS A RESULT, "FUEL CONTAMINATION" COULD HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THE CAR COULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. LUCKILY, BECAUSE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT,...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SPORTWAGEN TDI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE GOING UPHILL, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING, FOLLOWED BY THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

MOTOR LOST MOST POWER BUT WAS ABLE TO GO 10-15MPH TO GET TO END OF TRIP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND GLOW PLUG LIGHT FLASHED ON & OFF. CALLED VW AND THEY SCHEDULED APPT FOR NEXT DAY, SAID IT WAS OK TO DRIVE IN. BEGAN DRIVE HOME ON MAJOR CITY STREET. WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. CAR STALLED IN LEFT LANE BLOCKING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. THE DRIVER OF THE FOLLOWING CAR WAS ABLE TO STOP TRAFFIC ENOUGH TO ALLOW US TO PUSH THE DEAD VW OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT. CARS WERE ATTEMPTING TO PASS US AS WE PUSHED IT TO THE SIDE. CALLED VW AND THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK. DIAGNOSTICS THE NEXT DAY FOUND METAL IN THE TDI DIESEL HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. FUEL SYSTEM IS TO BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 35MPH, CAR STALLED OUT. BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED, RADIO ETC STAYED ON, BUT CAR HAD NO POWER AT ALL. ROLLED TO NEXT INTERSECTION, TURNED CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED IT. TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH THEY THEN PERFORMED. AUG. 24 EXITING I95, 65MPH, SAME THING HAPPENS, I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE ENGINE WAS TOTALLY DEAD. LIGHTS AND RADIO STAYED ON. ONCE AGAIN I ROLLED TO A STOP, AND RESTARTED THE CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY KEPT IT FOR AN HOUR AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. SO I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR A WEEK THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE MY PROBLEM. THEIR COMPUTERS WERE HOOKED UP TO MY CAR AT THE TIME, AND SHOWED NO FAULTS. SO THEY WERE BACK AND FORTH WITH VW TECH SUPPORT, AND THEY ARE FLYING...

I WAS DRIVEN UP A SMALL HILL GOING ABOUT 20 MPH AND AS I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN THE ENGINE STALLED. THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE STALLING. I LOST POWER COMPLETELY AND THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I COULD RESTART THE CAR. I KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT ELECTRICAL BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO PUT ON MY FLASHERS. *TR

DURING SECOND VW DEALER SERVICE AT APPROXIMATELY 9,000 MILES , CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON DURING THE PROCESS, TECH READ CODE AS A FAILURE IN A SECONDARY AIR-FLOW SENSOR, PART WAS REPLACE AND THE LIGHT WAS OFF. AT THIRD VW DEALER SERVICE AT 17,000 MILES, APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK AFTER THE SERVICE, THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AT START-UP. CHECKED GAS CAP, RE-SEATED AND LIGHT DID NOT CLEAR. AS OF THIS REPORT PROBLEM CODED: P2431, P2433, SECONDARY AIR INJECTION PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT OUT OF RANGE, A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED SIMILAR ERRORS IN CONJUNCTION WITH OIL AND FILTER CHANGES.

ON JULY 21 AT APPROX 1730HRS WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 15MPH THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND HAD TO PULL OVER WITH NO ENGINE. I PULLED OVER AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START IN NEUTRAL BUT HAD TO START WITH THE ENGINE IN PARK. THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 VW JETTA DIESEL. VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE VW DEALER ON 7/23 AND NO CODES COULD BE FOUND AND THEY INDICATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. CALLED YOU COMPLAINT OFFICE 8/8 AND ODI # 10417948. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA DIESEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. AFTER WAITING A FEW MOMENTS, THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,100.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS ABOUT TO SHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR TO SLOW DOWN, THE ENGINE STALLED AND DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN. I DRIVE A DIESEL MANUAL TRANSMISSION ENGINE.

MY VW JETTA TDI STALLED WHILE COMING TO A STOP SIGN AFTER THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED. IT DID THIS OCCASIONALLY DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. AFTER A YEAR OF OWNERSHIP AND A DOZEN OR SO INCIDENTS, THE CAR STARTED TO STALL MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A ONE HALF-HOUR COMMUTE. TWICE RECENTLY, ONCE ON MY WAY TO WORK AND ONCE ON MY WAY BACK, THE CAR STALLED TWO AND THREE TIMES RESPECTIVELY. IT EVEN STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH WHEN THE CLUTCH WAS DEPRESSED. USUALLY, IT STALLS WHEN COMING TO A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED IN ORDER TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF GEAR. AT 12000 MILES, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES AND THEN REMAINED ON. THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER AND EGR VALVE WERE REPLACED WHICH IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE. ALSO, AFTER...

MY 2010 VW JETTA TDI HAS HAD 5 EPISODES OF STALLING (ACTUALLY IT DOES NOT STALL IN THE NORMAL SENSE OF THE WORD, THE ENGINE JUST STOPS RUNNING). IN ALL 5 INCIDENTS THE CAR NEEDED TO BE PLACED IN PARK, THE IGNITION NEEDED TO BE TURNED OFF AND THEN THE CAR COULD BE RESTARTED AND RAN NORMALLY. IN 4 OF THE INCIDENTS IT WAS EITHER RAINING OR HAD JUST RECENTLY RAINED. THE 5TH INCIDENT HAD HIGH HUMIDITY. THE O2 SENSOR HAS BEEN UPDATED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME AS A RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM, THE SECOND TIME AS PART OF NORMAL MAINTENANCE. *TR

I HAD COME TO A FULL STOP AND WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED SUDDENLY. NO MISFIRING OR ROUGH MOMENTS BEFORE STOPPING, JUST A SUDDEN CUT OFF. I PUT THE ENGINE IN PARK AND TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE. NO SUCCESS. I PUT THE ENGINE IN NEUTRAL AND GOT A PUSH TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRIED STARTING THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES, IN PARK, WITH NO SUCCESS. VW CALLED A TOW TRUCK. BEFORE ACCEPTING A TOW I TURNED THE IGNITION FULLY OFF AND TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE. THIS TIME IT STARTED. I CANCELLED THE TOW. CAR IS RUNNING NORMALLY AGAIN. THIS SUDDEN STOPPING OF MY ENGINE HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 4000 MILES ON IT. I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AS I WAS PULLING FORWARD AFTER JUST HAVING PUT IT...

I PURCHASED MY 2010 JETTA TDI NEW AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2009. IT IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I'M A PRETTY CONSERVATIVE DRIVER AND ATTEMPT TO MAXIMIZE MY MPG. EACH DAY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SETTING OVERNIGHT AND IS COLD, I START UP AND DRIVE TO THE STORE, A 4 MILE DRIVE, THE ENGINE WILL PAUSE USUALLY WITHIN THAT 4 MILE DRIVE. SOMETIMES IT IS A SHORT JERK AND SOMETIMES IT IS A GREATER JERK. OTHER TIMES IT WILL HAPPEN ON THE RETURN TRIP HOME. BUT IT'LL HAPPEN ONLY ONCE UNTIL IT SETS AND COOLS OFF. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE WITH NO HELP. MY RESEARCH FINDS SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY BE THE ISSUE, BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TALK TO VW AMERICA TO SEE IF THEY WILL CONFIRM OR DENY THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SINCE I'VE HAD...

JETTA TDI STALLING. *TR

2010 VOLKSWAGON JETTA SPORTWAGON TDI AUTOMATC TRANSMISSION.THE VEHICLE LOSES TOTAL POWER IF THE DRIVER "POWER BRAKES" THE VEHICLE. IE: IF YOU ARE SITTING AT STOP SIGN DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC, LEFT FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND YOU ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE QUICLKY, THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD SLIGHTLY AS IF IT STALLED, YOUR FIRST RESPONSE IS TO BRAKE QUICKLY, THINKING THE CAR STALLED, WHEN YOU REALIZE THIS IS NOT THE CASE, THEN ACCELERATE, THIS CAN CREATE THE SAME EFFECT, BECAUSE OF A PANIC SITUATION AND THE FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES, ALMOST CAUSING A SERIOUS T STYLE COLLISION. I ASKED THE DEALER AND HE CONFIRMED THAT IF THE DRIVER BRAKES AND ACCLERATES AT THE SAME TIME THIS WILL OCCUR. TO DEMONSTRATE THIS FURTHER, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND THE CAR SEEMS TO "BRAKE AND LOSE ENORMOUS MOUNT OF POWER"....

THIS VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE SHUDDERING AND STALLING. MOSTLY, WHILE IN 2ND , 3RD OR 4TH GEAR, EARLY ON INTO A TRIP THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY DECELERATE AND IN SOME CASE STALL OUT COMPLETELY. IT IS AS IF THERE IS A SUDDEN LOSS IN FUEL GETTING TO THE ENGINE. THIS STARTED SOON AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS (6 OR 7) TIMES FOR THIS WARRANTY ISSUE, INCLUDING EXTENDED STAY PERIODS OF SEVEN AND TEN DAYS. FIRST THEY FAULTED MY FUEL, THEN THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, THEN THEY HAVE DONE OTHER WORK AND REPLACED COMPONENTS, BUT CLAIM THEY CAN NOT MAKE THE CAR FAIL AS I HAVE REPORTED. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE ALERTED VW AND HAD A VW TECHNICAL ADVISERS LOOK AT THIS CAR. THEY REFUSE TO DO ANY ADDITIONAL WARRANTY WORK ON THE CAR FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE THEY CAN NOT...

I HAVE ENCOUNTERED COMPLETE LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON 8 TO 10 OCCASIONS OVER THE 6 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. ON ONE OCCASION THE MOTOR COMPLETELY DIED BUT RESTARTED ON FIRST ATTEMPT AFTER WAITING FIVE MINUTES.

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS THAT APPEAR TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM/DEFECT. 1. THE CAR SOMETIMES WILL NOT START FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND ONCE IT DOES FINALLY START, HAS A VERY ROUGH IDLE AND STALLS. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, IT FINALLY STARTS AND RUNS NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED 7-8 TIMES FROM JULY 2010 UNTIL THE PRESENT. 2. NOW, OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS, THE CAR TRIES TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING ALSO, AND HAS RESULTED IN MY WIFE HAVING TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR, BUT THE STARTING AND ROUGH IDLE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR APPROXIMATELY ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS. ON ANOTHER NOTE, I WANT TO ENSURE THAT IF ANY RECALLS OCCUR AS A RESULT OF EVERYBODY'S COMPLAINTS, THAT U.S. MILITARY STATIONED OVERSEAS ARE NOT LEFT OUT. MANY OF US PURCHASE THESE U.S. SPEC CARS FROM LOCAL DEALER AGENCIES WHO (RE)IMPORT THE CARS...

I PURCHASED A 6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION JETTA-TDI AT THE END OF DECEMBER OF 2009. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MANUAL TRANSMISSION CARS SINCE 1975, AND I WAS UPSET THAT MY CAR WAS STALLING EITHER JUST STARTING OUT IN FIRST OR IN THE LOWER RPM RANGE OF THE LOWER GEARS WHEN TURNING AND MOVING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS OR TRYING TO GO UPHILL WHEN THE RPMS WERE IN THE LOWER RANGE. KEEPING THE RPMS UP A BIT SEEMS TO HAVE HELPED, AS I AM NOT HAVING IT STALL AS MUCH AS BEFORE. I ALSO NOTICED WHAT SEEMED LIKE A SLIGHT HESITATION OR JERKING WHEN CRUISING . IT WOULD BE JUST FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND THEN BE GONE MY ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS PARALLEL PARKING ON A HILL. I WENT TO BACK UP A BIT TO STRAIGHTEN OUT MY CAR AND IT STALLED, ROLLING FORWARD INTO THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME....

TL- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN THIRD GEAR THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE ACCELERATION HESITATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY SIX TIMES FOR THE SAME FAILURE . THE TECHNICIANS PERFORMED TWO COMPUTER UPDATES. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED IT WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT PROVIDE FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 540. DS

INTERCOOLER PIPING ACCUMULATES AN OIL/WATER SLUDGE MIXTURE DURING COLD WEATHER DRIVING. WHILE PARKED AFTER DRIVING THE SLUDGE COLLECTS AT THE LOWEST POINT IN THE PIPING. IF TEMPERATURES ARE BELOW FREEZING, THE SLUDGE FORMS A PLUG WHICH PREVENTS THE CAR FROM STARTING. IF IT IS ABOVE FREEZING, THE SLUDGE IS INGESTED INTO THE ENGINE WHERE IT CAUSES HARD STARTS AND ROUGH RUNNING. THIS HAS OCCURRED FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OR EFFECT A REPAIR OTHER THAN PERIODICALLY REMOVING HOSES TO CLEAN OUT ACCUMULATED SLUDGE. *TR

2010 JETTA TDI SPORTWAGON STALLING WHEN IDLING AT STOP LIGHT NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARS. HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 3000 MILES. *LN

I PURCHASED MY 2010 JETTA IN MAY OF 2010. LESS THAN ONE YEAR LATER I HAVE EXPERIENCED POWER LOSS ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS COMING TO A STOP AFTER DRIVING BETWEEN 20-30 MILES. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE WAS NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED. TWO DAYS LATER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO ATTEMPTED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHICH AS I HAD IMAGINED THEY COULD NOT. *TR

SHE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO USE THE RADIO. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SHUT OFF. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT WOULD FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. SHE ALSO STATED THAT SHE WOULD ATTEMPT TO CHANGE THE RADIO STATION BUT THE RADIO WOULD INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAY A MESSAGE READING "NO CD" OR "NO MAGAZINE". A FEW MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

2010 VW TDI JETTA SPORTSWAGEN CURRENTLY HAS 18675 MILES, HOWEVER, PROBLEM STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 5000 MILES. ENGINE FEELS LIKE IT LOSES POWER AND STARTING TO STALL WHEN IN 3RD/4TH GEAR AND BETWEEN 30 TO 40 MPH. AT TIMES IT IS LIKE A SMALL HICCUP AT OTHER TIMES IT IS QUITE SEVERE AND CAUSES THE CAR TO LURCH VIOLENTLY - HAS LOCKED THE SEAT BELT UP WHEN THIS OCCURS AS I AM THROWN FORWARD HARD. OCCASIONALLY SAME THING WILL HAPPEN IN HIGHER GEAR, BUT PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY IN 3RD OR 4TH GEAR. HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND COMPLAINED ABOUT PROBLEM EACH TIME. RESPONSE HAS BEEN THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE AND CAN FIND NO PROBLEM. ON LAST SERVICE THEY REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER SAID IT "MIGHT" BE CLOGGED. NO IMPROVEMENT - PROBLEM STILL HAPPENING.
