2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Visibilitywiper Problems

The contact owns a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that whenever the temperature fell below 20 degrees, the windshield wipers became inoperable. The contact stated that the Body Control Module (BCM) had previously been replaced, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the Body Control Module (BCM) needed to be replaced a second time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 134,900.

IT'S FREEZING OUTSIDE.THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DON'T WORK IN THE MORNING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS LOW. FOR OUR SAFETY WE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR. PLEASE HELP.

THE WIPER BLADES MOTOR STOPS WORKING IN LOW TEMPERATURES. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ICY BLADES OR FROZEN SNOW, IT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK WHEN TEMPERATURES ARE VERY LOW. ONCE TEMPERATURES GO UP, THEY START WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I CAN'T DRIVE WITHOUT WIPER BLADES WHEN IT SNOWS OR RAINS IN LOW TEMPERATURE. VW DEALERS SAY THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MOTORS FAILING AND IT'S US THE CAR OWNERS WHO HAVE TO PAY ABOUT $600 PLUS $100 DIAGNOSTIC FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE MOTORS. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY VW CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THINK VW SHOULD RECALL ALL CARS WITH THIS PROBLEM AND GIVE US A SOLUTION FOR FREE.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR IS LOUD AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. VERY INTERMITTENT.

TAKATA RECALL - I AM JUST GIVING NOTICE THAT MY AIRBAGS MAY BE FAULTY AND MAY NEED A REPLACEMENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

THE WIPER MOTOR AND THE FLUID WASHER PUMP ARE ILL ENGINEERED AND HAVE A TENDENCY TO BURN OUT VERY QUICKLY. BOTH THE WIPER MOTOR AND FLUID WASHER PUMP ON MY JETTA HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1,000. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IN A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS OLD, AND UNDER 58,000 MILES. EITHER THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEMS IS POOR, OR VW IS USING INFERIOR PARTS THAT QUICKLY ARE OBSOLETE. IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE CARS THAT WIPER MOTORS BURN OUT THAT QUICKLY (AND WITHOUT NOTICE) AND IT IS ALSO NOT SAFE TO HAVE FLUID PUMPS THAT WEAR OUT THAT QUICKLY. IT AFFECTS VISIBILITY AND DRIVING SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACTIVATE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SWITCH, BUT IT FAILED TO FUNCTION. AS A RESULT, THE WINDOW REMAINED IN THE DOWNWARD POSITION. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDOW SWITCH PREVIOUSLY FAILED TO DEPRESS INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER BUYING THIS NEW VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT HUNDREDS OF FOGGY LOOKING SPOTS WOULD APPEAR IN THE REAR WINDSHIELD AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY. WHEN THESE SPOTS APPEAR IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF THIS WINDSHIELD OR INTO IT . THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AROUND DAWN AND AROUND DUSK THOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED AT OTHER TIMES OF THE DAY ALSO. I HAVE PURSUED HAVING THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED BY CONTACTING THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD IT IS BECAUSE OF THE WINDOW BEING POLARIZED AND THAT THE WINDOW IS UP TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. PRETTY MUCH THEY HAVE TOLD ME, TOO BAD THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. I HAVE EXPRESSED TO THE DEALER AND TO VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT OF OR IN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WHEN THESE FOGGY SPOTS...
