2011 JETTA SPORTWAGEN TDI: STOCK ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM (RCD 510) WENT DEAD. HEARD A LOUD POP, TOUCH SCREEN WENT BLACK, AND ALL FUNCTIONALITY WAS LOT. I CONSIDER THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM ALSO INCLUDES THE HANDS FREE PHONE INTEGRATION. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE IN THE SPORTWAGEN COMMUNITY (SEE THE FOLLOWING THREAD HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T36009_DS552583?SNTEMLID=181117531#MSG390217) YET VOLKSWAGEN REFUSES TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND ACKNOWLEDGE A FAULTY PART. IN ESSENCE, VOLKSWAGEN IS KNOWINGLY PUTTING THEIR CUSTOMERS AT RISK BY SELLING CARS WITH A FAULTY ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM WHICH INCLUDES THE HANDS FREE PHONE INTEGRATION. *TR
I PURCHASED A 2011 VW JETTA S SEDAN ON 1/24/2011. AT APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES, THE CAR BEGAN MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE FROM UNDER THE DASH NEARLY ALL THE TIME. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE ON 2/16/11 AND AFTER A FEW DAYS, I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS ISOLATED TO THE THERMAL EXPANSION VALVE IN THE AC SYSTEM. THIS WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, THE SOUND RETURNED. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AGAIN ON 3/29/11 AND AGAIN WAS CONTACTED A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER. THE DEALER SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THE VW FACTORY TECH REP LOOKED AT THE CAR AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. HIS DETERMINATION IS THAT IT IS OPERATING ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATION. I CONTACTED VW OF AMERICA AND THEY CONFIRMED THIS AS THE OUTCOME AND THAT IF I REMAIN UNSATISFIED I COULD CALL THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AUTO...
WHILE DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD RANDOMLY CREEP UP THE WINDSHIELD AND WHEN THE WIPERS GOT ALL THE WAY TO SERVICE MODE, ALL THE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK. THE RADIO WOULD FADE IN AND OUT AND THE WHEN ADJUSTING THE SOUND ON THE RADIO LOUD CRACKING, POPPING AND STATIC SHOULD WOULD COME FROM THE RADIO SPEAKERS. *TR
