2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Engine Problems

EGR is getting stuck open / closed

Car was being driven and coils snapped caused, tire to pop damaging front end. Car was being driven and randomly shut off in middle of road. Driving vehicle shifting into gear lags, check engine light is on, had reader and said that valve 2 has low pressure. As a result clanking and loose noise sounds are heard when driven from drivers side.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine stalls intermittently while driving as listed in a recall for 2011 VW Jettas. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I was at risk of an accident when the car stalls while driving on the road and on the highway. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the Ontario Volkswagen dealership has been able to see the car intermittently stalling while being serviced. I took the car to the Volkswagen dealership and asked them to contact corporate for a solution to the problem. They replaced 2 sensors and the problem still persists. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warning lights or messages appear...

I recently bought a 2011 volkswagen jetta tdi last owner wasn't aware of recalls, car started throwing white smoke, my local service mecanics NORTHWEST EXPRESS AUTO CARE let me know that the problem is a recall on emission need to fix but dealer don't want to do it

At various times my car will randomly stall and it's not showing any warning lights to indicate what's wrong or when it will happen.

Water pump busted while driving at 20 miles an hour

It started singing real load and my light for my coolant started blinking red

This engine or transmission is acting odd it boggs down for no reason and I know for a fact there should be a recall from the wiring harness back in 2011. I accidentally clicked it was fixed when I pushed the wrong button and it wouldnt let me undue it. Stalls white smoke out the tail pipes in gusts. Foul smell in vents

Ignition switch. Having a hard time turning car off.

The car turns off while driving and it has put me in several safety problems that I feel could an accident

Unknown , The vehicle is a slap shift and I can't put it in sport mode as well when driving I've been in just regular automatic it will shift slow but hard when it's in slap shift it it shifts Hard and when it is in sport mode it will shift fast and hard it's like a jerk it has a very rough idol and sometimes the windshield wiper's will work sometimes they won't and my cruise control does not work and I put my code reader on it and it says $7E8 and $7E9 along with not being able to complete smog test, and it acted like it wanted to die when I was in drive through it has well over half tank gas. Also it seems to be sucking more gas and my miles are going really fait's going really fast like they're not matching what I'm actually...

Car randomly stalls while driving and shuts off without warning in the middle of the road. Immediately is able to turn back on without issues. Took to mechanic and they couldn't find any issues and said the car had zero error codes. This has happened multiple times while driving low speeds, usually when driving stop and go with street lights

My car would randomly stall while driving, happens both when braking and not braking. When it stalls steering wheel locks up, cannot press gas pedal, and brakes stop working almost. This is incredibly dangerous because while on a road at 50mph+ and my car suddenly stops it can cause a serious accident. The dealer has been able to reproduce it multiple times, and has said it is a common problem. The only warning light that switched on was the battery light after it had stalled. Currently at the VW dealership and was told that it was the fuel filter, was not the problem and car continued to stall more. Not only was a good part replaced but created an even more dangerous situation than before.

This Jetta Sportwagen TDI is one of the "diesel gate" vehicles that was supposedly fixed. However, post fix, the vehicle has been at the dealership for repairs more than it has been on the road for various emissions related issues revolving around the exhaust gas recirculation system and diesel particulate filter. Vehicle is washed regularly, including scrubbing of the chaise pipe ends with heavy duty soot cleaning solution. vehicle takes less than a week to collect enough soot on the tailpipe to cause transference to finger when whipped. This is an indication that an excessive amount of soot is not being properly recirculated by the exhaust gas recirculating system to be rebut in the diesel particulate filter. This also indicates that the "fix" for the cheating emissions system is not doing its job and vehicle is likely emitting particulate and NOX at levels far above legal limits.

AFTER THIS ENGINE STOPPED. CAR WOULD NOT START ANYMORE.I CALLED VW CARE TO START A CLAIM BECAUSE THIS CAR BELONGS TO THE DIESEL GATE SCANDAL.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING ENGINE OFF

UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION TO TURN OFF CAR ; CAR IN "PARK"

DRIVING MY CAR I WOULD COME TO A STOP AND MY CAR WOULD SHUT OFF. MY BATTERY LIGHT WOULD THEN APPEAR. HAD BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR CHECKED 4X WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. BATTERY COMES ON BUT RADIO STILL ON. I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD TO BE A WIRING PROBLEM. SO I TOOK IT TO MY VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SAFE DRIVING THE CAR ON CITY STREETS AND SOMETIMES ON THE INTERSTATE. I JUST NEED MY CAR FIXED IT HAS CAUSED ME SO MUCH STRESSED I AM NOW ON HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION.

WHILE IN CAR WAS DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MIN AT LEAST AND NOTICED CAR WAS SMOKING. PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK WHY IT WAS SMOKING AND NOTICED VEHICLE WAS UNDER FIRE. CAR WAS PARKED PRIOR FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS.

ISSUES WITH IGNITION, DIFFICULT TO TURN OFF, NOT CANNOT TURN ON AT ALL, KEY WON'T TURN ENOUGH, CONTACT VOLKSWAGEN, ADVISED OUT OF WARRANTY, NO RECALL FOR ISSUES I AM HAVING, VW DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT-VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, VW WILL DO NOTHING,TOLD ME NOT A COMMON ISSUE (ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS READ THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND FIND LOTS OF PEOPLE W/SAME ISSUE(S) WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VW TO ANYONE!

MY VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2011 SEEMS TO HAVE MISFIRE. IT HAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE CAR SHAKES WHEN SLOW DOWN AND/OR AT STOPS. VW CERTIFIED MECHANIC TRIED CHANGING THE PLUGS, AND CLEANING THE VALVES BUT NOTHING HELPED. HE ALSO TIED SHAFT CRANK SENSOR THAT DID NOT HELP EITHER. FINALLY THE DIAGNOSIS REPORT INDICATED THAT IT'S TIMING CHAIN ISSUE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY START. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

CRANK CASE IS NOT ON RECALL SO IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE COST IS 4200.00. AT WHAT POINT WILL IT GO ON RECALL. WITHOUT THE REPAIR THE CAR IS DEAD IN THE WATER. WARRANTY COMPANY WILL NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING THAT'S ON A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. ALSO CALLED VW VERIFIED IS ON THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND RUNS ROUGH AND JUST STOPS. JULY 7 2017 BULLETIN 15-16-02 (V151602)

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY SINCE PURCHASE, COMMONLY WHEN EXITING A FREEWAY TO A STOP OR DURING RUSH HOUR(STOP/GO)TRAFFIC. BEFORE STALLING, VEHICLE WILL JERK, ROUGH IDLE, AND DELAY ACCELERATION. STALLING MAY OCCUR AT A STOP AFTER HIGH SPEED, HOWEVER STALLING HAS ALSO OCCURRED DURING DRIVING AFTER A HIGH SPEED TO LOW SPEED DEPARTURE. WHEN VEHICLE STALLS DURING DRIVING, BOTH THE WHEEL AND BRAKES LOCK UP COMMONLY. IT TAKES PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE ROLLING AND ATTEMPTING TO START SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IGNITION KICKS IN. THIS HAS BEEN DANGEROUS AS THE ONLY BRAKING WOULD BE A GRADUAL EMERGENCY BRAKE PULL AND THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL STEERING, THANKFULLY I HAVE HAD STRAIGHTAWAYS THE TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED, HOWEVER I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO GO THROUGH RED LIGHTS WITH MY HAZARDS ON, LAYING ON THE HORN. VW HAS ATTEMPTED REPAIR 5 TIMES FOR SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESOLVE. LIGHTS AND CODES COME AND GO INTERMITTENTLY...

NHTSA CAMPAIGN #11V196000 MY FUSES BLOW, MY DRIVER WINDOW ROLLS DOWN, BUT INTERMITTENTLY WON'T ROLL UP. MY ENGINE CUTS OUT FOR NO REASON, WHILE IN MOTION AND STOPPED. HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN, EXITING OFF THE FREEWAY AND COMING TO A STOP IN TOWN. MY EPC, CHECK ENGINE , AND LIGHT SENSORS COME ON AND OFF AND DIFFERENT TIMES. 3 YEARS AGO I HAD MY ABS MODULE REPLACED. BUT CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. LOOKING ONLINE I FOUND THE RECALL ABOVE, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THIS ISN'T AN OPEN RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2014

ENGINE/CAR AT LOW SPEEDS BEGINS SHAKING AND REVS LIGHTS FLICKER CAR WILL EVEN SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVE HUGE SAFETY CONCERN! DEALER AND MECHANICS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT. REPLACED CRANKSHAFT AND TIMING VALVES ALONG WITH OIL AND FLUIDS NEW AND RESET CAR COMPUTER. STILL NOT FIXED! RESEARCHED ON GOOGLE AND TONS OF OTHER VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING SAME ISSUES.

WHEN DRIVING THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF 4 OR 5 TIMES THEN IS PERFECTLY FINE THE REST OF THE TRIP. IT HAPPENS IN COLD AND HOT WEATHER. WHEN THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON, IT'S ALWAYS WHEN I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO COME TO A STOP. ONCE I START MOVING AGAIN, THE LIGHT GOES OFF. THE CORRECT OIL/FILTER HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, VW DEALERSHIP SAID IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WAS BAD. I CHANGED THE SENSOR AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. WHILE RESEARCHING IT ON GOOGLE, IT APPEARS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT NO ONE HAS A SOLUTION.VW DEALERSHIP HAS LIED TO ME BEFORE SO I DON'T TRUST THEM WORKING ON MY CAR.

I CANNOT TURN THE KEY OFF AND REMOVE IT OR LOCK MY CAR THE ENGINE KEEPS RUNNING

AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE, THE CAR ACTS AS IF ITS GOING TO RUN OUT OF GAS. THE CAR WILL START TO JERK AND IDLE VERY ROUGHLY IN WHICH A FEW TIMES IT HAS CUT OFF ON ME, ONCE TRYING TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. HAD IT CHECKED OUT BY CERTIFIED VW DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS BOUGHT, AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY N205 VALVE. HAD THE VALVE REPLACED AND 2 DAYS LATER THE CAR IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. TOOK IT BACK AND DEALER ONCE AGAIN SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM BY ADJUSTING SENSORS, BUT STILL THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING.

CAR SHUDDERED AND LOST POWER TO ACCELERATE. EPC LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE FLASH - SAME AS LAST TIME.

CAR SHUDDERED AND LOST POWER TO SPEED UP WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO EXIT AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. *TR

2011 VW JETTA TDI FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. AS CAR SLOWED DUE TO TRAFFIC, THE COIL (GLOW PLUG?) LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN CAR CAME TO COMPLETE STOP DUE TO TRAFFIC, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STOPPED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THERE WAS NO TIME FOR ME TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION SO I WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. WAITING FOR CA HIGHWAY PATROL FOR HELP, TRAFFIC CLEARED AND I WAS SUBSEQUENTLY HIT BY A CAR MOVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS AND SUSTAINED INJURIES (RIBS, BACK AND NECK INJURIES, AND CONCUSSION) ONLINE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF OTHER VW CARS THAT EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE (COIL/GLOW PLUG LIGHT, THEN ENGINE FAILURE). THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON A FREEWAY AND THE REAR-END COLLISION I WAS SUBJECTED TO DUE TO CAR FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. SINCE THIS IS HAPPENING...

I LEFT WORK TO PICK UP MY CHILDREN 3 TIMES IN A SHORT TRIP THE CAR CUT OFF, IT SEEMS AS IF YOU DON'T GIVE GAS THE CAR WILL STALL AND QUIT. I HAVE STARTED TRYING TO HOLD THE BRAKE AND GIVE GAS TO PREVENT FROM IT CUTTING OFF AT STOP LIGHTS, THE CAR WILL ALSO CUT OFF IN MOTION IF NOT GIVEN GAS. I CAN'T FILE A COMPLAINT EVERYDAY BUT NOT ONE DAY GOES BY THAT MY CAR DON'T CUT OFF

MY VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND STEERING LOCKS UP, ALSO MY ALARM WILL MAKE THE SOUND TO DISARM THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING I HAVE TO PULL OVER SHUT DOWN CAR AND DISARM IT AND START AGAIN. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLES RPM WILL RAISE AND GO DOWN RAISE AND GO DOWN UNTIL CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARKING STALL AND CAR SHUT OFF AND LOCKED UP I HAD TO HIT THE BRAKE AND RE START THE CAR TO PULL IN SAFELY OR IT WOULD HAVE RAN INTO THE CARPORT. ON THIS DATE THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF IN MOTION 2 TIMES AND IT CUT OFF WITH BRAKE ON AT A LIGHT 3 TIMES

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP BREAKDOWN LITTERED THE DIESEL INJECTION SYSTEM WITH METAL PARTICLES. AT LEAST THE FOLLOWING WERE DAMAGED, ACCORDING TO VOLKSWAGEN FUEL PUMP HAS METAL IN IT INTAKE FUEL PUMP HIGH PRESSURE PUMP AUXILLARY FUEL PUMP FUEL LINES 4 INJECTORS FUEL RAIL W/SENSORS THIS IS A $6,500 FIX AND THERE IS AN ASTRONOMICAL FAILURE RATE THAT IS GREATER THAN 1%. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE REVISITED.

IGNITION SWITCH KEY LOCK SOLENOID (N376) PROBLEM. HELLO, MY WIFE'S 2011 JETTA HAS A MALFUNCTIONING IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER. PERHAPS THE IGNITION SWITCH KEY LOCK SOLENOID (N376)? NORMALLY THE KEY SHOULD BE LOCKED IN THE IGNITION WHILE THE CAR IS IN D(DRIVE). HOWEVER, THERE APPEARS TO BE A MALFUNCTION IN THE N376 (OR OTHER) WHICH DOES NOT ENGAGE THE LOCKING SOLENOID. THIS ALLOWS FOR THE KEY TO BE PULLED OUT WHILE IN D. SHE WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND PULL THE KEYS OUT OF THE CAR WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL IN D(DRIVE), GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND THE CAR ROLLED BACK AND HIT A PORSCHE. THANKFULLY THE CAR DID NOT RUN OVER A CHILD OR OTHER PERSON.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A CITY HIGHWAY, THE CAR STALLED, AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS HAPPENED IN MODERATE TRAFFIC, BUT WE WERE ABLE TO COAST OUT OF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT. THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR ANALYZED THE FUEL SYSTEM, AND RULED THAT OUT. HE FOUND A BAD FUSE RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP, AND CLAIMS AT THIS TIME THAT IT IS PROBABLY AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. AT THIS TIME, THE EXACT CAUSE REMAINS UNKNOWN. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT WE'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, THOUGH THE PREVIOUS TWO TIMES THE DEALERS CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE.

I PURCHASED THE JETTA USED FROM CARMAX IN NASHVILLE, TN IN 2014. IT BEGAN HAVING SAFETY ISSUES ON MARCH 2014. RANDOMLY, MY CAR WILL JUST STOP WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, OR AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION WHEN MOVING ON FROM A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. I CAN BE DRIVING ANYWHERE FROM 15 MPH TO 50 MPH, AND ALL SYSTEMS SHUT DOWN. THE BATTERY LIGHT GOES ON, THE STEERING LOCKS, AND THE BRAKES LOCK. I ALWAYS PANIC, PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND HAVE LUCKILY MANAGED TO VEER OFF TO THE SIDE OF A ROAD AND STOP, SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN. EUROFIX TRIED TO MANAGE THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE CRANK SENSOR AND CAM SHAFT. BUT HE PROBLEM CAME BACK, MUCH WORSE.
