2013 Volkswagen Jetta Other Problems

Your transmission has developed hairline cracks in the accumulator housing, which can cause the clutch to fail and result in loss of power to the wheels while driving. Your car was repaired for this exact issue in June 2021, but the same problem has recurred. The repair may involve replacing the transmission accumulator housing or the entire transmission unit.

Ignition switch stuck, and would not allow key to fully be inserted causing the cylinder to freeze and not turn on or if able to turn on not be able to turn off. I took it to the dealer to repair. They quoted me but refuse to provide a key with the new ignition system and are trying to price gouge me into buying a key that should have been provided with the new system.

Unknown system failure or component. Ever since I've bought the vehicle in I believe 2017 from EICH VW, it has consistently died while driving or idling. It also was "slamming on the brakes on its own" when the car would die. It jerks consistently as well. The latest out of hundreds of incidents, was yesterday, it stalled at a red light that had turned green, so I was stopped, I turned my hazards on immediately when it had stalled. The vehicle behind me went into the turn lane and the vehicle behind it was coming at me at 60+ mph as that was the speed limit on the road. There is NO warning as to when it will stall, almost never any dash light, maybe only once or twice a year. And it can go weeks or even months without incident and then go crazy for weeks or months straight. It stalling out has almost killed me and my son when trying to cross the highway to get to his dad's house, in that situation me and my at the time when I used to take that way he was 1/2 years old, and we were almost t boned by the oncoming traffic after it had stalled. I have taken it to some many certified dealers and "experts" and no one can tell me what is wrong. It has now gotten to the point where it is happening so often I'm scared to put my three year old in my car. This is a VERY COMMON issue Volkswagen knows about but won't acknowledge or do anything about, I did not know about it until after buying the car. There are no beforehand symptoms, there is no way to tell when it is going to happen, even the car is running perfectly fine before it happens. I know that service providers have been able to experience exactly what happens, but they may not remember as this has been going on for years and I'm not their only customer, and I don't even remember everywhere I've been to try and fix the problem. But it is something I have been publicly asking about and complaining about for years. My ex who works for Toyota, even experienced it when we first met, and we had to have my car towed.

The key will not go in the shut off position. My car has been lefting running for long periods. I keep messing with it and trying different pressures until it finally turns to the off position.

THE IGNITION SWITCH, WON'T TURN TO SHUT OFF/ COME ON. Having to sit in the car for long periods of time, in a HIGH CRIME AREA! Checked on line and others are having the same problem as I am.

There was a legal settlement between the US and VW in 2016. This settlement provided mandates upon the company to perform repairs and give warranty to owners of VW vehicles, so the vehicles are in a safe and emissions responsible manner. This settlement info can be seen at www.vw.courtsettlement.com The main part that applies to our situation is: We purchased a 2013 VW Jetta TDI on 12/30/20 with 179,109 miles. Prior to that, it had the Emissions Modification done to it. We purchased vehicle from the original owner, and we are the 2nd owner, per VIN report Our purchase was the 1st resale transaction done after the modification completed We purchased the vehicle in good faith and for purposes other than resale We purchased the vehicle due to the warranty. The vehicle currently should have a 4 year 48,000 mile court ordered warranty starting 12/30/20 and at 179,109 miles. If followed by court order, this warranty is good until 12/30/24 or 227,109 miles. Since this vehicle was purchased 6 months 14,000 miles into warranty, it still has 34,000 miles or good until 12/30/2024. VW has refused to honor there court ordered warranty. This potentially is putting a vehicle that is in need of safety repairs at risk of a danger on roadway by not honoring warranty. Term of agreement at www.vwcourtsettlement.com Not only are they not fulfilling there obligations as they should under the terms of settlement, they are egregiously allowing vehicles to be driven around with clogged filters emitting more pollution that they should, when they have since agreed to fix them as they were rigged unlawfully to settle the VW corporate violations within the US They should immediately honor this warranty with this VW owner and recompense me for warranty related expenses they incurred of approx $750. The VIN for this vehicle is 3VWLL7AJ0DM[XXX] One owner of the vehicle is [XXX] Contact info [XXX] [XXX], [XXX], [XXX] [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The key gets stuck in the ignition cant turn the car off been hoping on for a week k ow

KEY DOES NOT TURN TO THE OFF POSITION ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED. CANNOT STOP THE CAR CAR ONCE STARTED. FROM ALL THE READING I AM DOING IT SEEMS THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH OTHERS.

THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON OUR JETTA RELATED TO THE MICRO SWITCH. WHEN WE TOOK OUR CAR IN TO VOLKSWAGEN OF MARIETTA TO HAVE THE 90,000 MILE SERVICE DONE, WE STATED THAT WE WANTED THE RECALL REPAIR DONE AS WELL. THE SERVICE PROVIDER FIRST TOLD US HE COULDN'T LOOK UP THE RECALL BY THE VIN, AND THEN WHEN WE WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR, HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NO OPEN RECALL ON IT.

IGNITION SWITCH HOUSING SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT AND KEY WILL NOT TURN IN HIGH TEMPERATURES. 100 PART AND 2.5 HOURS AT 190/HOUR IN LABOR REQUESTED BY VW. PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 60K AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. PART NOT DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND NORMAL CAR HEAT.

IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER BROKE AND WAS STUCK IN ON POSITION. WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME AND PARK THE VEHICLE UNTIL MY BOYFRIEND GOT OFF OF WORK. THE STEERING LOCK FROZE IN THE LOCK CYLINDER PREVENTING THE KEY FROM TURNING BACK.

ERROR FOUND IN COLD FILL TIRE PRESSURE IN NATIONAL SYSTEM USED BY BUSINESSES. VEHICLE DOOR STICKER/PLACARD AND OWNERS MANUAL STATES 41 PSI COLD FILL TIRE PRESSURE. NATIONAL SYSTEM IS RETURNING A FILL PRESSURE OF 33 PSI. EXPERIENCE: AT COSTCO TIRE DEPARTMENT THEIR SYSTEM STATES TO FILL TO 33 PSI; TIRE REPRESENTATIVE DISCOVERS DOOR PLACARD AND INDICATES AN ISSUE FOR NOT MATCHING IN SYSTEM. AT LATER DATE MICHELIN CORPORATE IS CALLED BY MYSELF AND THEIR SYSTEM ALSO RETURNS 33 PSI FOR THIS VEHICLE. MICHELIN IS SENT PHOTOS OF DOOR STICKER/PLACARD AND OWNERS MANUAL AND INDICATES AN ISSUE FOR NOT MATCHING IN SYSTEM. THIS COMPLAINT IS URGENT AND SAFETY IS AT JEOPARDY. PLEASE TAKE ALL NECESSARY ACTIONS TO ELEVATE. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEM ERROR THAT ALL NATIONAL BUSINESSES UTILIZE FOR RELYING ON COLD FILL TIRE PRESSURE. THE DIFFERENCE IS MAJOR; VOLKSWAGEN STATES 41 PSI AND THE NATIONAL SYSTEM UTILIZED IS STATING 33 PSI. THIS VEHICLE TRIM IS A HYBRID 17 INCH WHEELS AND ALL ORIGINAL. BY NATURE OF BEING A HYBRID THE VEHICLE WEIGHS MORE DUE TO THESE HYBRID COMPONENTS. IT MAY BE POSSIBLE THAT OPERATING THIS VEHICLE WITH TIRES FILLED TO 33 PSI IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. FROM EXPERIENCE IT APPEARS VEHICLES OF THIS TRIM ARE IMPROPERLY BEING FILLED AT BUSINESSES SINCE THE SYSTEM HAS A TIRE PRESSURE DATA ERROR. AND IN FACT MANY VEHICLES MAY CURRENTLY BE AFFECTED AND POSE A SERIOUS RISK ON OUR ROADS IF THEIR TIRE WERE FILLED TO 33 PSI. I AM HERE TO BE OF ASSISTANCE SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT. THERE MUST BE A WAY TO FIX THIS ERROR. PLEASE FIRST VERIFY THIS ERROR IN THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM. THEN FIND EXACTLY WHERE THE DATA IS STORED, GOVERNMENT AGENCY VS MANUFACTURER, AND THEN MAKE ACTION TO CORRECT THE DATA. I FEEL I WAS AT DANGER OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH TIRES FILLED TO 33 PSI AND I WOULD FEEL THE SAME WAY IF SOMEONE ELSE OPERATED THE VEHICLE IN THE SAME CONDITIONS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENS. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS IN THE BACK SEAT, BUT I NOTICED IT BECAUSE I HEARD THE DOOR AJAR NOTIFICATION ON MY DRIVING PANEL WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF THE DOOR RANDOMLY OPENS AND SOMEONE IS IN THE BACKSEAT THEY COULD BE IN DANGER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN LESS THAN ONE WEEK.

STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH REMOVING KEY FROM IGNITION WITHOUT HAVING TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, PUSH AND TURN THE KEY.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK SOBER, CLEAR WEATHER, WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME ON AN INTERSTATE (WIDE OPEN SPACE), WHEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED SENDING GLASS EVERYWHERE. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB DETONATED. I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED MY SUNROOF WAS DESTROYED AND WARPED OUTWARD, ALMOST IN A CONCAVE SHAPE. I CALLED THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT RECALLS AND THEY STATED NO, WHILE INSISTING ROAD DEBRIS HIT MY CAR. I KNOW THIS TO BE PATENTLY FALSE AS I HAD NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME AND WAS NOT DISTRACTED. I RESEARCHED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ONLINE WITH MY CAR'S MODEL YEAR BEING VIABLE. I WANT TO REPORT THAT THIS IS INDEED A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD THAT IS EXPENSIVE WITH A DEDUCTIBLE, RENTAL, MISSED WORK, ETC., AND VW SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE.

I CHECKED MY VEHICLE INTO VALET SERVICES, WHILE TRYING TO PARK MY CAR THE VALET WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ME THEREFORE MY CAR WAS RUNNING FOR 2 HOURS.

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.

AFTER PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD AT ABOUT 25-30MPH THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND WOULDN'T LATCH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT TO BE A FAILED DOOR LATCH. AFTER FIXING THE PASSENGER DOOR LATCH, THEY PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR OUT OF THEIR GARAGE AND THE DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH FAILED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

MY 2013 JETTA HAS 37,000 MILES, JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. I DROVE TO MY DAUGHTERS AND PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND THE KEY WAS LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. I COULDNT TURN THE CAR OFF OR GET THE KEY OUT. I CALLED A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A TRICK TO GETTING MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SO I COULD TURN MY CAR OFF. THE LADY AT THE DEALER LAUGHED AND SAID YES THERE IS A TRICK ILL TRANSFER YOU TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE MAN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND HOW TO JIGGLE THE KEY AND TURN IT BACK AND FORTH AND SHOULD WORK. IT WORKED WHEN I GOT HOME. LAST NIGHT I WENT TO GROCERY STORE AND SAME THING MY CAR WOULDNT TURN OFF THE KEY WAS LOCKED. I TRIED THE METHOD THAT THE SERVICE MAN TOLD ME TO DO AND STILL WOULDNT TURN OFF. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND THEY COULDNT. THEY SENT ME HOME WITH A RENTAL AND TOOK MY CAR INTO THE SERVICE GARAGE. FOR ALL I KNOW ITS STILL RUNNING. SO THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY FAIL TO RECALL THIS IGNITION AND MAKE THE CAR OWNERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THE PART AND THE LABOR TO INSTALL. THE IGNITION SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA SE PZEV 2.5 IT HAS 58,000 MILES. THE AC COMPRESSOR WENT OUT NOW STILL PAYING OFF CAR I ALSO AM PAYING FOR AN NEW AC COMPRESSOR ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR THAT IS 1600 TO FIX.

AND THE PASSENGER DOORS MAKE NOISES LIKE ITS LOOSE WHILE OPENING AND CLOSING DOORS. THERE'S A JOLT FEELING WHILE DRIVING LIKE TRANSMISSION JOLTS. THE CAR WHILE TURN IT ON MAKES A HUMMING UNPLEASANT NOISE LIKE ITS MISSING FLUID.

VERY FRUSTRATING, THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY AND ONLY WHEN TURN "OFF" IGNITION.. VERY SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. HAS HAPPENED APPROX 100 TIMES

IGNITION SWITCH: THE KEY HAS GOTTEN STUCK MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE ON POSITION IN OUR 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA IGNITION.. A QUICK WEB SEARCH DEMONSTRATES MY FAMILY IS NOT ALONE IN THIS ISSUE. A CARGURU FORUM DISCUSSION (:HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T41581_DS528745) GOES ON AT LENGTH ABOUT IT. A COMPLAINTS.COM COMMENT ALSO MENTIONS THIS PROBLEM.: (HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/VOLKSWAGEN/JETTA/2012/ACCESSORIES-INTERIOR/IGNITION_SWITCH_PROBLEMS.SHTML) A SIMPLE WEB SEARCH TURNS UP LOTS OF IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEMS IN VW'S. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF YOU CANT GET YOUR KEY TO TURN TO THE OFF POSITION, AND SOME OTHER PART FAILS LIKE THE BRAKES OR THE ACCELERATOR. I URGE THERE TO BE A RECALL. IT SEEMS TO AFFECT MULTIPLE MAKES AND MODELS. ADDITIONALLY THIS SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT COSTS A CAR OWNER 1000$ + TO FIX.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THROUGH HIGHER ELEVATIONS NORTHBOUND ON HWY 101 NORTH OF UKIAH, CA, I HEARD A LOUD BANG. IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER GLASS STARTED RAINING OUT OF THE SUNROOF VISOR VENTS (THANKFULLY IT WAS CLOSED). I DROVE FOR ANOTHER 1/4 MILE OR SO UNTIL THERE WAS A SAFE PLACE TO TURN OFF. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION THERE WAS ONE LARGE HOLE IN THE GLASS, SHATTER FRACTURES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PANE, AND THE EDGES OF THE GLASS WERE ANGLED UP INDICATING AN OUTWARD EXPLOSION OF THE GLASS. BOTH MY PASSENGER AND I WERE COVERED IN BITS OF GLASS AND IT WAS JUST EVERYWHERE. WE CLEANED UP WHAT WE COULD AND PROCEEDED HOME FOR THE REMAINING 10 HOURS UNTIL I COULD DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY.

HORN HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT, ENTIRE HORN NEEDS REPLACING.
