TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

THE TENSIONER IN MY VEHICLE FAILED CAUSING THE TIMING CHAIN TO JUMP TEETH WHICH SENT THE PISTONS CRASHING INTO THE VALVES AND CAUSED CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE RESULTING IN ME NEEDING AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE ACCORDING TO THE ROW FORD AUBURN MAINE DEALERSHIP AND VW OF AMERICA. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING ON RIGHT NOW INVOLVING THIS DEFECTIVE TENSIONER. ALSO MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 1230 MILES OVER THE 60,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WHICH WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE AND FALL HOWEVER I'M NOT RECEIVING ANY HELP WITH THIS AND I FEEL THAT THE DEALERSHIP AND VW SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS INFO SINCE THEY'VE KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS BUT NEVER ISSUED A RECALL .

MY CAR WAS STARTED IN THE MORNING TO GO TO WORK AND IT MADE A LOUD NOISE. THE ENGINE WAS IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER READ A P00166 CODE AND TORE DOWN THE TOP END OF THE MOTOR. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED A FAILED TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER WHICH CAUSED THE CHAIN TO SLIP AND CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO THE HEAD. I WAS QUOTED $6,200 FOR REPAIR OF A KNOWN FAULTY PART THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE OF ENGINE AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH UPHILL, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND DID NOT RESPOND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MAKE IT UP THE HILL AND THE CONTACT HAD TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND REVERSE BACK DOWN THE HILL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. UPON PARKING AND EXITING THE VEHICLE, A REDDISH FLUID WAS SEEN LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

TIME CHAINING BELT LOOSE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND ONLY HAS 66,000 MILES. RECALL LAWSUIT ACTS HAVE BEEN TAKING PLACE AND I BELIEVE MY CARS TIMING CHAIN NEEDS TO BE RECALLED

TIMING BELT STRETCHED OUT AFTER ENGINE ONLY HAS 65,000 MILES ON IT THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN WHILE CAR IS RUNNING AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH AND EVEN A FATAL CRASH.

CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAR TURNED OFF AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP. AFTER DIAGNOSTIC VOLKSWAGEN SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT INVOLVING THE CAR JERKING AND TURNING OFF, BOTH TIMES VOLKSWAGEN WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS USING THIS VEHICLE AS A DAILY DRIVER.

2013 VW JETTA, 2.5 ENGINE, AT, APPROX 16,900 MILES. ON MAY 8, 2018, DURING A RIGHT HAND TURN, THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION NEAR OAKWOOD HILLS SHOPPING MALL, EAU CLAIRE WI. THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER CAUSED LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE WAS STRANDED IN INTERSECTION. AAA WAS CALLED. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RE-STARTED AND CLEARED FROM INTERSECTION BEFORE AAA ARRIVED. IT WAS DRIVEN HOME. ON MAY 9, 2018, THE VEHICLE BUCKED AND LOST POWER DURING A RIGHT HAND TURN AT MALL DRIVE AND HIGHWAY 93 EAU CLAIRE.WI. DTC'S CHECKED WITH NONE FOUND. I SUSPECT A BAD RELAY OR IGNITION SWITCH.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY EPC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS UP AND THE CAR SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER AND START JERKING STEP ON GAS TO SPEED UP ONLY ENGINE REVVED UP HIGH BUT THERES NO ACCELERATION OR SPEED GAIN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY BUT WHAT IF ITS RUSH HOUR AND THERES A CAR FOLLOWING BEHIND ME IT SURE GOING TO SLAM INTO MY CAR. I HEARD A LOT OF COMPLAINT SIMILAR TO WHAT I EXPERIENCED. IN MY OPINION ITS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE LOOK ON AND NEEDS A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION IN ORDER TO AVOID ACCIDENT AND ROAD MISHAPS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE ENGINE COOLANT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,719.

WHILE VEHICLE IN PARKING WITH MOTOR ON IT SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN MY CARPORT, THE SECOND TIME IN WAS ON THE STREET. THERE WAS NO LIGHTS ON DASH THAT WOULD INDICATE SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT ON AND NO FUTHER PROBLEMS AT THE TIME.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TODAY AND IT BEGAN TO JERK ALL OF A SUDDEN. THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS SERIOUS. AND IF THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

ENGINE CHECK WARNING DID NOT COME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR ANNUAL SERVICE AND AM INFORMED A THROTTLE AND GASKET ARE BAD. NO ENGINE WARNING NOTICE BUT THEY FOUND IT IN THE CODE. CAR IS AT DEALER. I'M CONCERNED HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND IF IT CAUSED ANY OTHER ISSUES. WHY WOULD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOT BE ACTIVATED FOR THIS? IF NOT BRINING IT IN FOR ANNUAL, I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN UNTIL THE ENGINE FAILED

A YEAR AGO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD THEN COME TO A STOP. IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID IT WAS A WIRING ISSUE. IN THE PAST YEAR THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC OR AT A LIGHT. CAR WILL NOT DETECT KEY FOB EVEN WHEN NEW BATTERIES HAVE BEEN USED. CAR WILL SAY NO KEY.

TIMMING CHAIN STRETCHED AND TENSIONER FAILED AT 71K MILES, ALTHOUGH MAINTENANCE IS SET AS LIFETIME OR 120K MILES

WE HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND EACH TIME WE...

I BOUGHT A NEW 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA 2.5L SE. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR AS A THIRD VEHICLE FOR MY TWO TEENAGE CHILDREN TO USE. MY SON WAS HOME FROM COLLEGE AND USED IT TO COMMUTE TO A DAILY INTERNSHIP DURING THE SUMMER OF 2016 WHEN HE NOTICED THAT ON TWO OCCASIONS IT LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE HE WAS TRAVELING 60 MILES PER HOUR.

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER A FEW DAYS LATER AND IT LOST POWER SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY. I COMPLAINED TO DICK DEAN (THE DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM) AND TO VOLKSWAGEN ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS SITUATION THREATENED THE SAFETY OF MY TWO CHILDREN. THE DEALER...

MY TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILED AND BENT 14 VALVES. ALL 4 CYLINDERS HAD ZERO COMPRESSION. VOLKSWAGEN REPRESENTS IN THE WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES THAT THE TENSIONING SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO LAST FOR ABOUT 120,000 MILES WITHOUT THE NEED FOR REPAIRS. IN FACT, ACCORDING TO THE PLAINTIFF, OWNERS ARE PROVIDED MANUALS THAT DO NOT SHOW ANY TIMING CHAIN SYSTEM INSPECTION OR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES AT ALL.

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL BUT THE ONE I AM HAVING MORE ISSUES WITH, ARE THE HEAD LAMPS AND/OR FUSES. IN OCTOBER OF 2014, MY LEFT SIDE LOW BEAM STOPPED WORKING, I BOUGHT 2 BULBS SO IT COULD BE REPLACED AND THEN IT WASN'T THE BULB, IT WAS A FUSE. IN JANUARY 2015, THE LEFT SIDE BULB STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND ANY FUSE THAT WAS BLOWN ON MY OWN, THIS TIME IT WAS THE BULB.
