2011 Volkswagen Jetta Equipment Problems

I WAS DRIVING TO MY CABIN AND WHEN I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY AND STARTED MY CAR - MY RADIO DID NOT WORK, THE CARE WAS STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. I DROVE TO THE DEALER, THINKING IT WAS A FUSE OR SOMETHING EASY TO FIX AND THEY SAID THE RADIO IS BROKEN AND IT BE OVER $1500.00 TO REPLACE. I WAS A BIT SHOCKED - THIS RADIO IS NOT FANCY, STANDARD STOCK RADIO. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH IN ALL THE VW JETTA FORUMS AND MANY PEOPLE (THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE OR AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE RADIO TO BREAK) THE 2011 JETTA RADIO IS JUNK AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS ANOTHER POOR VW SCAM SIMILAR TO THE DIESEL MILEAGE FRAUD? BUT SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE FORUMS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY VOLKSWAGEN AND REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS. A RADIO SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 4 YEARS! THANK YOU! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE'S BLUETOOTH TO STOP WORKING. THE CONTACT'S CITY HAS A HANDS FREE LAW FOR SAFETY. IN THE COLD WINTER MONTHS, THE RADIO AND BLUETOOTH FAILURE PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM BEING ABLE TO GET ANY UPDATE INFORMATION. THE CONTACT CHANGED THE FUSES, BUT THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 8/19/15*CN UPDATED 9/30/12 *JS

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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA WAGON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION IN THE VEHICLES OWNERS MANUAL ABOUT THE WEIGHT LIMIT FOR THE LATCH SYSTEM USED WHEN INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANY INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF THE WEIGHT LIMIT AND STATED THAT DUE TO LEGAL REASONS THE INFORMATION WAS NOT LISTED IN THE MANUAL. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
