2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Engine Problems

I recently bought vehicle seen there is a recall

I remember having my keys in my hand and my car was slowly reversing out the driveway. I panicked, i was stomping on my brakes for a while jerking back and it took me about 2 minutes to finally get the key back in and try to put in park again. I went to a shop the following weekend because all the jerking and jabbing to get my key back in seems to have caused my ignition switch to misfire or whatever the word he (mechanic) used, so now i cannot take my key out like a regular person, I have to flick my key a certain way out anytime i want to turn my car off.(even mechanics have a hard time taking it out. I was also given a qr code to scan and was brought the this exact recall of the situation with my car. I now have...

My DPF system failed after my warranty ran out, about 128,000mi. and VW charged me $3000 to replace the DPF, then two days later the Nox Catalyst failed and they wanted another $2500 out of me. I tried the regen like the manual says, and the car went in limp mode 75 miles from my house in the middle of the highway. The car is not safe to drive, and they would not tell me if replacing the Nox catalyst will fix my problem, or just reveal another multi thousand dollar problem. The car is parked for the past 6 months and is not drivable.

AS I WENT TO CHANGE GEARS INTO REVERSE I HEARD A VERY HARD THUMP, THEN INTO DRIVE AND THE THUMP GOT LOUDER AND THE WHOLE ENGINE SHIFTED FORWARD. NOW IT SOUNDS AS IF EVERYTHING ( MOTOR ) IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT THE VEHICLE .

UNABLE TO TURN KEY TO TURN OFF IGNITION. CAR IS IN THE VOLKSWAGEN SERVICE CENTER FOR THE THREE WEEKS FOR REPAIR.

CAR RAN HOT FIRST TIME AIR CONDITIONING GOT HOT CAR WAS GOING ANY FASTER WITH SMOKE FROM ENGINE. NO INDICATOR AT ALL CAR WAS RUNNING HOT. DEALERSHIP STATED THE BLOCK MESS UP. ADJUSTER CAME STATED THEROMAST WHICH NOT COVER WARRANTY FOR MY CAR. WHY WAS I NEVER AWARE MY CAR HAD THESE ISSUES

OXYGEN SENSOR CODE COMES UP, THEN ALL LIGHTS COMING ON, WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THIS CAR HAD A CARFAX SHEET STATING NO PROBLEM AND REPAIRS DONE BY MICHEAL AUTOMOTIVE IN FRESNO CA. NO RECALL EVER MENTIONED, NOW A YOUNG MANS FIRST CAR , NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, ONLY PICKED UP BECAUSE CAR FAX STATED IT HAD NO PROBLEMS, NOW A SAFTY CONCERN.

GLOW PLUG LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOOSES POWER GOING DOWN THE ROAD. DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT IT IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY DPF ( COVERED UNDER WARRANTY) THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE AND RENDERS THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CUSTOMER CARE AND THE TELL ME NOTHING IS AVAILABLE. THE ORIGINAL DATE OF SERVICE WAS NOVEMBER 15, 2019. AS OF TODAY MAY 18, 2020 I HAVE NO PARTS AVAILABLE AND CAN NO LONGER SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR. *TR

WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE YOU PUSH THE TRANSMISSION DOWN, LEFT AND UP ALMOST LIKE YOU ARE SHIFTING INTO 1ST (ONLY DIFFERENCE IS 1ST YOU DON'T PUSH DOWN). TODAY, AND MULTIPLE TIMES PREVIOUSLY IT SEEMS TO NOT IN REVERSE, BUT ALSO NOT IN 1ST (ALMOST LIKE IT'S BETWEEN TWO GEARS). THUS IT JUST GRINDS GEARS AND STOPS MOVING, IT DOES INITALLY MOVE BACK THEN STARTS GRINDING. I WAS IN THE IN THE MIDDLE OF PULLING THEN HAD TO THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TRY AGAIN TO GET INTO REVERSE FOR A SECOND TIME.

THE CAR HAS UNDER 70,000 MILES. THE CAR NEEDS A NEED VACUUM PUMP AND ABS MODULE!!!!!!! ABS MODULE IS $2,200 DOLLARS AT THE DEALERSHIP. HOW DOES THAT BRAKE SO SOON ON A CAR?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FIRST TEAM VOLKSWAGEN (6900 PETERS CREEK RD, ROANOKE, VA 24019) AT LEAST TWELVE TIMES TO HAVE THE FUEL SYSTEM REPAIRED IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE EMISSIONS TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 161,316.

THE MOTOR KICKS(JERKS) REALLY BAD. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A COUPLE SHOPS AND THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALER ONCE AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CHANGED MANY PARTS THINKING IT WOULD FIX IT AND STILL HAPPENS. AT THIS POINT IM FRUSTRATED AND DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,146 MILES. IT DOES IT WHEN DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET RANDOMLY AND IS VERY SCARY.

OUT OF NOWHERE THE EPC LIGHT AND MIL LIGHTS CAME ON THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE WAS RUMBLING. VERY SCARY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. IGNITION COIL AND SPARK PLUG WIRES HAS TO BE REPLACED. COST ME OVER $900. A DAY LATER, I SEE THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS A RECALL ON JETTAS IN THE PAST. I AM OUT OF POCKET $900 AND WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THIS. WHY HASN'T VW CORRECTED THIS PROBLEM? I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED SINCE THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS EXISTED IN JETTAS FOR YEAR!

I AM UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE WHEN I STOP. THE KEYS ARE STUCK IN THE ENIGEN AND THE CAR NOT TURN OFF. REALLY HEART BREAKING BECAUSE I LIKE VOLKSWAGEN BUT I THINK THIS WILL BE MY LAST.

JETTA WOULDN'T START, CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID GET IT TOWED IN, WE HAVE 12 OTHER JUST LIKE IT, ZERO DEGREE'S OUTSIDE, THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE INNER COOLER TECHNICAL BULLETIN AND THEY'D TAKE OF IT, THEY SAID THEY WOULD DEFROST IT AND LOOK INSIDE THE TURBO, THEY NEVER DID LOOK INSIDE THE TURBO THEY UNHOOKED ONE TUBE AND YEAS MOISTURE LIQUID CAME OUT THEY SAID NOT ENOUGH, THAT'S NOT WHAT THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE GONNA DO, ITS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT 12 OTHER CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF IT AND MADE ME PAY FOR A NEW STARTER, TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THE 12+ OTHER CARS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. $84 TOWING AND $480 FOR STARTER, THEY NEED TO RECALL THE TURBO'S CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. UNACCEPTABLE

VEHICLE STALLS RANDOMLY WHILE IDLING AND HAS HAPPENED TWICE WILL DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE CAR ALSO DRIVES ROUGH BEFORE, AND THE STALLING HAPPENS SOMETIMES 3-4 TIMES A DAY AND OTHER TIMES NOT AT ALL.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND THERE WERE METAL FRAGMENTS STUCK IN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND BATTERY INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN TRYING TO TURN ENGINE OFF.

AFTER STOPPING THE CAR, THE COOLING FAN REMAINS ON, AND THE ENGINE SEEMS INAPPROPRIATELY HOT, YET I HAD NOT DRIVEN THAT FAR. IDEAS RANGE FROM A BLOCKED RADIATOR, A POOR THERMOSTAT? THE COOLANT HAD BEEN CHANGED. HAS ANYONE ELSE REPORTED A SIMILAR PROBLEM? IT WAS ONLY 70 TO75 DEGREES AND OFTEN A BIT HUMID, BUT USUALLY AT NIGHT SINCE I SELDOM DROVE IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY. IT WAS PARKED AND THE TEMP OF THE ENGINE WAS NEVER ABOVE 190 DEGREES, THOUGH THE ENGINE FELT HOT. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES (10 PLUS) MOSTLY DURING THE WINTER IN FLORIDA. I REPORTED IT ONCE BUT THE TECH DIDN'T SEE IT AS A PROBLEM.WHAT DO YOU THINK?

VEHICLECOMPLAINT/ CAR DOESN T STOP OR SHUT OFF . KEY DOESN T ALLOW CAR TO TURN OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. JIM ELLIS VOLKSWAGEN (5901 PEACHTREE BLVD, ATLANTA, GA 30341) DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE FUEL SENSOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR HARD AND SOFT DIAGNOSTIC TESTS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

RECEIVED VERBAL QUOTES TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE KEY GETTING STOCK IN THE IGNITION WITH CAR RUNNING AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED BY VW AND THAT IT WOULD COST CLOSE TO 500.00 TO FIX AND I CHOSE TO LIVE WITH THE ISSUE...NOW I RECEIVED A LETTER TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE COST WHEN I DID NOT HAVE IT FIXED. CALLED TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THE CAR IS OVER 100,000 MILES AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. THIS TO ME IS NOT CORRECT. I BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP MANY TIMES BEFORE THE CAR WENT OVER THE 100,000 AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OLD...I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO LOOK INTO THIS AND GET BACK TO ME SO I CAN HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE ENGINE MADE A HUMMING NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,600.

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2017 AND HAD TO BRING IT BACK FEW DAYS LATER BECAUSE THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING. THEY FIXED IT AND COUPLE WEEKS LATER I HAD TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE COUPLINGS BECAUSE THEY WERE LEAKING. NOW IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER 2017 I WAS COMING BACK FROM ORLANDO FL FROM THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I HAD TO GET MY TITLE FROM THEM, THE CAR BROKE DOWN COMPLETELY ON THE HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A EPC LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE AND HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS STOP BY AND INSPECT THE CAR BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE OF THE TOOLS THEY DIDN'T HAVE. I EVEN CALLED OTHER MECHANIC SHOPS THAT SPECIALIZE IN EUROPEAN CARS. I FINALLY HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP & THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE THAT WAS MORE...

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA GLI 2.0 TURBO ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION WAS MISFIRING CAUSING SPEED REDUCTION WITHOUT NOTICE, RUNNING ROUGH WHILE AT AN IDLE AND WOULD RATTLE UNDER LOAD ASCENDING A HILL. DEALERSHIP SERVICE MEMBER SAID THE TENSIONER CHAIN WAS ABOUT TO SNAP AT ONLY 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR. CONTINUED TO REPORT IF THE TENSIONER CHAIN SNAPPED, THE ENGINE WOULD DIE IMMEDIATELY. THIS COULD BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY STOPPED ACCELERATING, THESE PARTS SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 120,000 MILES, IF NOT, THE LIFE OF A VEHICLE. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY TO NOTICE THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECAME A BIGGER AND COSTLIER ISSUE.

MY 2012 JETTA GLI TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED, LUCKILY MINE FAILED AT AS I STARTED UP MY CAR IN MORNING, BECAUSE IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON THE ROAD NOT ONLY WOULD IT HAVE CAUSED MORE DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE, BUT IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SOME ACCIDENTS. AFTER HAVING MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSED ON WHAT CAUSED MY ENGINE TO BREAKDOWN I LEARNED THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER, A KNOWN ISSUE THAT VW HAS REFUSED TO AKNOLOWEDGE BUT IF YO9U SPEAK TO ANY MECHANIC THAT HAS DELT WITH VW AND AUDI THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE.

THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. WE HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND VW SAID THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT WONT RECALL AND HAVE TO PAY 1000+ TO FIX. WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH MYSELF OR KIDS IN THE CAR AND NEEDED TO GET THE KEYS OUT!

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION AND I CANNOT TURN OFF ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR WEEKS. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WAS ONLY ONCE AND AWHILE BUT NOW EVERY TIME I PARK MY CAR IT TAKES ME TWENTY OR MORE MINUTES TO TRY AND GET MY KEYS OUT AND TURN OFF ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN SLIPPING. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN THE OPTION OF REPLACING THE ENGINE OR PERFORMING A TIMING CHAIN SERVICE AND VALVE REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,475.

CAR WOULD NOT START SUDDENLY... VW DEALERSHIP SAID ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT WAS DRIVING NORMALLY, NO ABNORMAL NOISES, NO CHECK ENGINE OR OTHER WARNING LIGHTS. LUCKILY, WE FOUND OUT ENGINE HAD FAILED WHEN TRYING TO START A PARKED VEHICLE. IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN UNSAFE SITUATION HAD THE ENGINE FAILED WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY UNKNOWN MOMENT THE CAR WILL START TO MISFIRE IN 1 OR MORE CYLINDERS (SEEMS LIKE USUALLY WHEN THERE IS MOISTURE IN THE AIR) BUT YOU STILL NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY GO INTO ENGINE POWER CONTROL AND WILL SOMETIMES CUT OFF THE STEERING AND BRAKES. I'VE GOTTEN CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH NO BRAKES AND NO STEERING. I HAD TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. MOST OF THE TIME THE STEERING GOES OUT IS WHEN I'M TRYING TO MAKE A U TURN. AND MOST OF THE TIME THE ENGINE STARTS TO MISFIRE AND/OR SHUT OFF IS WHEN I'M TRYING ACCELERATE EITHER AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR SIGNIFICANT INCREASE LIKE MERGING ON A FREEWAY

"TAKATA RECALL" "WATER PUMP" I GOT MANY RECALLS ON MY JETTA GLI 2012 . THE LAST RECALL I GOT ON THE MAIL WAS ON NOVEMBER ,2016 FOR THE AIRBAG CONTROL . AFTER I DROPPED MY CAR FOR THE RECALL I PICKED IT UP SAME DAY . I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON FOR THE FIRST TIME I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES LIKE THIS BEFORE . I RETURNED BACK TO THE DEALER AND INFORMED THEM , THEY SAID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IT AND WE'RE SORRY WE DIDN'T TAKE CARE OF THAT . I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO LEAVE IT THERE FOR ONE MORE DAY . NOW THEY'RE ASKING ME TO PAY FOR IT AROUND $992 ! I GOT ALL OF THE VOICEMAIL FROM THE DEALER THEY CALLED ME TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT AND ASKED ME TO COME BACK TO FIX SINCE IT CAME UP AFTER I...

THE FIRST THING I NOTICED AFTER DRIVING THE CAR WAS THE SMELL OF BURNING OIL OCCASIONALLY, THEN UPON OPENING THE HOOD AND REMOVING THE ENGINE COVER THERE WAS MINOR OIL SEEPAGE FROM THE VALVE COVER. THE CAR ITSELF IS 2012 JETTA GLI AND ONLY HAS ABOUT 27,500 MILES AS I TYPE THIS MESSAGE. BUT IT GETS WORSE, I NOTICE THE OIL LEVEL DROPPING AND HAVING TO PUT REFILL IT ABOUT 2 OR 3 TIMES A MONTH. AT THIS POINT I KNOW SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT AND ITS NOT JUST A FAULTY VALVE COVER GASKET. DID SOME READING ONLINE AND I SUSPECTED IT WAS A FAULTY OIL SEPARATOR/PCV SYSTEM CREATING TOO MUCH CRANK CASE PRESSURE. I ALSO CHECKED THE REAR MAIN SEAL RECENTLY AND SEE OIL LEAKING BETWEEN THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION, SUGGESTING THE RMS HAS BEGAN TO FAIL. MY QUESTION IS IF THE CAR WAS "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED" AND PCV VALVE FAILURE...

COOLANT CAME THEN WENT OFF AFTER SHUTTING OFF CAR TURNING BACK THEN 3DAYS LATER ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING PULLED OVER TURNT CAR OFF TURNED ON AFTER 5 MINS ENGINE LIGHT CUT OFF. 2 DAYS LATER ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED FORWARD IN A JERKING MOTION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE SERVICED PER A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. ALSO, A HOWLING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE AND THE OIL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS BECAME INOPERABLE INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SEAT INDEPENDENTLY READJUSTED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PURGE VALVE AND THE STEERING RACK FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

KEY STUCK ON THE ON POSITION AND NOT ABLE TO TURN KEY, TO TURN CAR OFF.

HAD CAR IN FOR NEW TIRES AND AFTER I LEFT THE MILEAGE WENT FROM MID 40S TO MID 30S, NO ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT, NO PARTICAL FILTER LIGHT, RETURNED TO DEALER AND DIDN'T OFFER TO CHECK IT. 24,000 MILES. IS THIS SOMETHING TO DO WITH DIESELGATE?

THE VEHICLES ENGINE WOULD REV BY ITS SELF WITH THE PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT DISENGAGE DURING THIS LEAVING THE VEHICLE ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN.

I HAD TWO NO START CONDITIONS DUE TO A FROZEN INTER COOLER. THIS HAPPENED IN JANUARY A WEEK APART. THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR EMITTING FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY REPAIR CENTER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

ENGINE RUNS ROUGH, SPUTTERS AND STALLS RANDOMLY. WHEN STALLS, SOME LIGHTS FLASH AND STATES SERVICE NEEDED. DEALERSHIP DIDN'T FIND ANY FAULTS. IF STALLS ON HIGHWAY THIS CAN BE LIFE THREATENING. STEERING WHEEL PULLS HARD TO THE LEFT EVEN WITH CAR PROPERLY ALIGNED AND TIRES AIR PRESSURE READING ACCURATELY FULL. JUST HAD CAR SERVICED AGAIN NO FAULTS FOUND. IGNITION ISSUE WITH CAR NOT SHUTTING OFF. 20 MINUTES AFTER PARKING AND TRYING TO TURN CAR OFF WITH NO PREVAIL. HAD CAR SERVICED AND WAS GIFTED A FREE REPAIR SINCE MY 2012 JETTA HAS ONLY 22,000 MILES ON IT. IGNITION REPLACED BUT OTHER ISSUES STILL EXIST. PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR SERVICING THIS VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE ALL THESE ISSUES CAME ABOUT CONVIENTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD ENDED.

I HAVE A 2012 JETTA TDI THAT IS NOW JUST OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, EXCEPT THE 10YR/120K COVERAGE EXTENDED ON THE KNOWN POORLY DESIGNED HPFP (INVESTIGATED IN NHTSA ACTION PE10034). I DO A FUEL FILTER CHANGE EARLY 15K FROM THE LAST DEALER CHANGE AT 44500 MILES... AND I FIND METAL PARTICLES IN THE FUEL FILTER. THIS IS NOT NORMAL, AND INDICATION OF WEAR, AND SOURCE IS ALMOST CERTAINLY THE HPFP CAM AND ROLLER/PISTON WHICH IS LUBRICATED AND COOLED BY DIESEL FUEL RECIRCULATED TO THE FILTER VIA BYPASS, AND SOME OF THIS ENDS UP IN THE FUEL TANK, AND WORSE CAN END UP IN THE INJECTORS CAUSING INJECTOR FAILURE, EVEN POSSIBLE BURNED PISTON HEADS AND CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE. I ASSUME THE PATH FORWARD IS DOCUMENT MY FINDINGS, I DID THIS WITH HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL PICTURES, PRINTED FOR THE DEALER, AND A PRISTINE WHITE RAG TURNED GREY WITH METAL FILINGS,...
