2012 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Unknown Or Other Problems

The ignition switch where the key is placed in the ignition and turned to start the car failed. The ignition would not turn with the key engaged inside the ignition switch. It will require a new ignition switch kit and new key in order for the car to function properly again.

I was driving on the road going up a hill and my fuel was just alittle low about 120 miles my car sputtered and died and didn't start back up stuck on the road with barley any gaurd rail so I'm partially in the lane and I got it looked at and my high pressure fuel pump failed and sent metal scrapes all throughout my fuel system so it's estimated around 10k to replace I got told it's because the pump barley lost fuel and it uses that to lubricate itself so somthing as simple as one of the pumps going out and this problem can occur or a slight short im just reporting because many others have had this issue with the pump and mine shouldn't have even had nothing going on at 120 miles 1/4 of a tank and I did look in my tank and confirmed I...

HEAD LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN TEMPERATURE IS COLD. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND KILLING THE BATTERY. I BELIEVE THE ISSUE WITH LIGHT SWITCH BECAUSE WHEN I UNPLUG IT AT NIGHT FROM THE CAR AND RE-PLUG THE LIGHT SWITCH IN THE MORNING, IT ALL WORKS WITHOUT ANY ISSUE.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF 2019. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD WHEN SWITCHING INTO GEARS. I DROVE THIS CAR WHILE HAVING MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN THE CAR VERY VIOLENTLY SWITCHED IN AND OUT OF GEARS. IT WAS VERY SCARY! AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE TO IMPATIENT YO GET OFF THE NEAREST EXIT I NOTICED THE CAR'S SPEED STARTING DECLINE EVEN WHEN FOOT IS ON THE THROTTLE. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. I WAS SO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I HAD THE CAR TOWED 100 MILES CLOSER TO HOME.

KEYS GET STUCK IN IGNITION AND I CANNOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE.

I HAVE A "2012 VW JETTA SE 2.5L AUTO PZEV" THAT AT AROUND 90,110 MILES EXPERIENCED A SHIFT LEVER FAILURE ON 07/17/2019 AT AROUND 4:50 PM CST. THE PHYSICAL LOCKING MECHANISM OF THE SHIFT LEVER FAILED, AND IT WAS POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY SHIFT INTO DIFFERENT SELECTIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. I LUCKILY DIDN'T SHIFT INTO REVERSE BY ACCIDENT, JUST THE SPORT MODE (THIS MODE PREVIOUSLY REQUIRED THE HOLDING DOWN OF THE SHIFT LEVER BUTTON). AFTER THE FAILURE OF THE LOCKING MECHANISM, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS ALSO NO LONGER PICK UP SHIFTING REQUESTS (EG. SHIFTING FROM "NEUTRAL" TO "DRIVE" USING THE LEVER WOULD STILL SHOW THE CAR AS IN NEUTRAL). HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL DOES SHIFT USING A VERY SPECIFIC METHOD OF MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER ALL THE WAY TO THE "REVERSE" POSITION, AND THEN MOVING IT ALL THE WAY TO THE "SPORT" POSITION. WHEN THIS IS PERFORMED, I AM...

I'VE NOTICED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF, IT'S THE MAP SENSOR. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN FULLY CLEANED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. MY CAR ALSO SEEMS TO GO INTO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING. I'LL MAKE A TURN, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WILL NOT WANT TO MOVE AT ALL, ILL SWITCH IT TO TRIPTRONIC AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO DOWN SHIFT OR UP SHIFT. I HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH BOTH OF THESE THING FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JETTAS MY YEAR. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CAN BE IN THE CITY ON A HIGHWAY, ANYWHERES AND IT'LL RANDOMLY NOT WANT TO GO ANYWHERES, THE RPMS WILL GO...

DELAYED AIR CONDITIONING; IT TAKES 5-10 MINUTES FOR AC TO BLOW HOT AIR. I CHECKED ON FORUMS & YOUTUBE AND SO MANY OTHER OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE FOR JETTA, GOLF, AND GTI.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON C470, IN ENGLEWOOD COLORADO, TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED BETWEEN 60-65 MPH WHEN AN EXTREMELY LOUD EXPLOSION OCCURRED. WE INITIALLY THOUGHT WE WERE BEING SHOT AT OR SOMETHING FELL OUT OF THE SKY. THERE WAS BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE, IN OUR HAIR AND EVEN MOUTHS. THANKFULLY, MY HUSBAND MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND INTO A PARKING LOT. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION, IT APPEARED THAT OUR RETRACTABLE SUNROOF (THAT WAS CLOSED) IMPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

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.

THIS VEHICLE CAME FROM THE MANUFACTURER WITH DUNLOP SP SPORT 01 A TIRES (225/40R18) (AUGUST 2012 PURCHASE). WITHIN NINE MONTHS (8800 MILES) TWO TIRES DEVELOPED SIDEWALL BUBBLES. AFTER CONTACTING DUNLOP, THEY REPLACED TWO TIRES ST NO CHARGE. AT THAT TIME, THE GOODYEAR/DUNLOP RETAIL STORE SLOWED ME TO PURCHASE A TIRE WARRANTY ON ALL FOUR TIRES. OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS AND 80,000 MILES, I HAVE REPLACED FOURTEEN (14) OF THESE TIRES UNDER THE WARRANTY AND HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE A WARRANTY WITH EACH REPLACEMENT TIRE. THESE TIRES ARE THE ONLY TIRES I HAVE EVER OWNED IN ALMOST 40 YRS OF DRIVING THAT HAVE DEVELOPED SIDEWALK BUBBLES. I HAVE OTHER TIRES FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER WITH THE SAME SIZE TIRE ON A DIFFERENT VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE NOT DEVELOPED ANY SIDEWALL BUBBLES. THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED BY GOODYEAR/DUNLOP. THE FIRST BUBBLE WAS 6/14/13...

THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND IN PARK. THE KEY WILL NOT TURN IN THE IGNITION, EVEN TO START THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR CAN BE STARTED, AND IS RUNNING AND PLACED IN PARK, THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND THE CAR IS DIFFICULT TO TURN OFF. THE KEY IS OFTEN LOCKED IN THE IGNITION WITH NO WAY OF REMOVING IT.

VEHICLE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHILE STARTING AND SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN I, THE OWNER ATTEMPTS TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO WIGGLE THE KEY A CERTAIN WAY TO TURN IT OFF. AT THIS POINT EVEN SO CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND HAD TO LEAVE IT RUNNING EVEN WHILE PUMPING GAS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REVIEWS ON THIS SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY VOLKSWAGEN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL RUNNING AND MY HANDS ARE SCRATCHED FROM ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE. FIX THIS.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK HOUSING IS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSES THE KEY TO BECOME STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED

KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION. RECEIVED A LETTER FOR AN "EXTENDED" WARRANTY ON THE ISSUE BUT WHILE I WAS UNDER 10 YEARS OLD, MY CAR WAS OVER THE ALLOTTED MILEAGE.

I AM NOW HAVING TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE BUYING IT CERTIFIED USED 2 YEARS AGO FROM HERZOG& MEIER. THE PROBLEM IS THE KEY IS STUCK IN ON, THE ONLY WAY TO KILL THE CAR OR TURN OFF IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP AND VW KNOW ABOUT BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED. RESEARCH HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM.. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL....
