2014 Volkswagen Jetta Electrical Problems

Your driver's side door latch and lock assembly has multiple problems: the door freezes shut in cold weather due to water getting inside, won't lock properly using the key fob or lock button, and triggers false door-open warnings while driving. The door may not latch closed after opening, creating a safety risk of the door opening unexpectedly while the vehicle is moving. Fixing this likely requires replacing the door latch assembly and addressing the water intrusion issue, possibly with sealing repairs.

Your auxiliary heater burned through its protective heat shield and melted into the cabin, causing a small fire and allowing smoke to enter the car. This is a serious safety hazard that requires immediate attention to prevent further fire risk.

Your car's auxiliary heater component melted at its grounding connection, which caused a fire to start in the driver's side footwell. This fire resulted in burns to the owner's hands and smoke inhalation to a passenger. The melted heater may have damaged the wiring harness in that area, creating a serious fire hazard.

Your dashboard warning lights for ABS, traction control, brakes, airbags, and tire pressure came on during summer 2024 and have now stayed on permanently. The warning lights briefly went off for several months before returning. Your VW dealer couldn't identify the root cause but quoted nearly $4,000 for repairs. This likely involves diagnosing a fault in the electrical system that's triggering multiple safety and brake-related warning systems simultaneously.

Your car's driver-side footwell heater is overheating and creating a burning plastic smell that fills the cabin within 10 seconds when the outside temperature is below 35°F and you set the climate control to warm. This happens whether the fan is on or off, and no warning lights appear on your dashboard. The burning smell raises concerns about a potential fire risk or harmful fumes in the cabin. The fix will likely involve inspecting the PTC heater element and its electrical connections for a short circuit or defect, and possibly replacing the heater unit.

First owner, brought brand new, serviced the car every 5k, current 61000 mileage, no prior repair or accident. Nov 16, 2022 Jetta’s engine light went on suddenly, next day engine light off, then it went on and off for a couple of days. Drove to the dealership Nov 21, was refused to check as they're too busy; drove to AutoZone Nov 22, did a diagnostic check, trouble code P0131 (power train system) and 02214-002(Anti-lock Brake System), suggested replacement of an Oxygen sensor. Four days later on Nov 26, drove at the parking lot at low speed between 10-15 mph, the car suddenly stalled for the first time. Was able to drive 1.6 miles back home at very low speed. Nov 28, 2022 Dealership was fully booked; was able to drive the car to a close-by shop who said could fix it. The independent shop replaced two oxygen sensors, spark plugs, spark plug wire set, fuel system treatment and coil ignition. Pick car, stall persisted. Drove back, at second attempt, the shop claimed they replaced one faulty oxygen sensor, still was unable to fix the issue and towed the car to the dealership, dealership test drove multiple times and found nothing wrong. Dec 4, picked up the car, stall persisted within an hour. Called the shop, they didn't know what to do and suggested taking the car to the dealership. Dec 5, drove the car with no problem to the dealership. Described the issue, asked for a 60,000 miles maintenance and check crankshaft sensor, both refused by the service consultant. Asked to check all the parts been replaced. Dec 7, dealership called, claimed three mechanics were working on it and could not pinpoint the problem, best guess is ECM but no guarantee. Dec 9, picked up the car, car stalled three times within two minutes leaving the dealership; unable to hit 30 mph on highway, dangerous to drive in daytime traffic; found a parking lot and had the car towed back home. Today Dec 19, car stalls within a minute of starting. Not safe to drive. VW America declined buy back.

Last Thursday, we were driving at night when both low-beam headlight went out at exactly the same time causing us to be driving blindly for a moment. Luckily, the high beams still worked, but this issue seems to be some sort of short, and is dangerous. After looking online, it seems this has happened to lots of people with VW Jettas

key gets stuck in ignition and CANNOT turn car off

The key gets stuck in the ignition and won't turn. This can make it so the car can't be turned off. The key won't turn regardless of how the steering wheel is manipulated to make sure it isn't locking the key in place. No warning signs or messages were associated with the incident.

The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle prior to the vehicle losing motive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the timing chain and alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.

EVERY SINGLE LIGHT ON THE DASH IS TURNED ON EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO PROBLEM, AND THE SPEEDOMETER METER DOESN'T MOVE. I GOT THE ISSUE FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SAID THE COMPUTER ONLY NEEDED TO BE RESET, BUT THE VW DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT I STILL HAVE A BIG ISSUE THAT CAN EFFECT THE USAGE OF MY BRAKES, AIRBAGS, EVERYTHING, AND WANTS TO CHARGE ME $3500 FOR A NON-PROBLEM. SINCE THE SENSORS ARE ALL ON, I DON'T KNOW WHEN TO FILL UP OIL OR GAS, AND I WON'T BE ALERTED IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE OR THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT SINCE THE SENSORS ARE DEAD IT MAY NOT DEPLOY MY AIRBAG SYSTEM. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S NOT WORTH FIXING, MY CAR ONLY HAS 49,537 MILES AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION; THIS IS ABSURD.

WHEN THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS TO LOWER GEARS THE ENGINE STUTTERS AND EVENTUALLY STALLS OUT

IN THE FOLLOWING, LB/HB IS LOW BEAM, HIGH BEAM: ' THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR FOR HB IS ALWAYS ON, EVEN WHEN THE STEERING COLUMN LEVER IS ON LB AND LIGHTS ARE REALLY LB. ' THE TURN SIGNAL DASHBOARD LIGHT BLINKS FAST -- LIKE THERE IS A BURNT-OUT BULB -- BUT THEY ACTUALLY FLASH FINE. ' WHEN THE STEERING COLUMN LEVER IS SET TO HB, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE ARE DEAD; OR, THE HB BULB DOESN'T LIGHT AT ALL AND THE LB BULB GOES FAINT. ' WHEN I TURN THE LIGHTS OFF WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, THEY STAY ON ' SAY I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT ALL EVERYTHING IS FINE. I TURN THE CAR OFF; WHEN I START IT UP AGAIN SECONDS LATER, THE LIGHTS ARE MESSED UP FINALLY, THE LIGHTS USUALLY STAY EITHER WORKING OR ARE MESSED UP WHILE DRIVING, BUT ONCE IN A WHILE, THEY WILL GO FROM WORKING TO MESSED UP OR VICE VERSA WHILE DRIVING. BUT I WORK AT NIGHT AND LIVE ONLY ONE MILE FROM MY JOB, SO I HAVE NOT HAD THIS CAR ON THE ROAD AT NIGHT FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT LENGTH OF TIME. THE MOST COMMON SCENARIO IS THAT THE CAR HAS SAT FOR HOURS; I START IT, AND THE LIGHTS ARE EITHER MESSED UP OR WORKING FINE, AND THEY STAY THAT WAY UNTIL THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND STARTED AGAIN.

EPC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY; VEHICLE THROTTLED DOWN AND CONTINUED TO BUCK AND STALL OUT; LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. NO SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC CODE(S) WERE SAVED OR TRIGGERED. THIS CAUSES COSTLY AND UNNEEDED DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS

MY CAR IS NOT REGISTERING A KEY AND VW DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE. *TR

I BEEN TRYING TO GET MY STICKER SINCE LAST YEAR ....I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO CAUSE OF THE RE CALL. I BEEN DRIVING EXPIRES TAGS....AM ANNOY ALREADY WITH THIS RECALL T THE DEALER SHOULD HAD TOLD ME SINCE THA BEGGING...MY CAR KEEPING LOSING OIL AND AND. CAN I JUST GET A REFUND

HI I BOUGHT MY CAR 2017 I DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL UNTIL OCTOBER.... ITS SAYS IT'S ON FIXABLE SO I CANT GET MY REGISTRATION OR STICKER I WANT A REFUND OR A NEW CAR R IF I COULD GET A RESPONSE RIGHT AWAY CAUSE MYTAGS OR EXPIERD

MY JETTA BEGAN HAVING ISSUES STARTING ONCE DRIVEN. IT PROGRESSED TO STALLING WHILE IDLING AND AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT FURTHER PROGRESSED TO STALLING WHILE DRIVING, SLOWING FOR TURNS ECT. THE EMC RELAY WAS REPLACED BY MECHANIC. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY VOLKSWAGEN

CAR IGNITION STOPPED WORKING WELL AFTER SOME MONTHS OF PURCHASED. NOW, CAR IGNITION IS HARD AND TAKES SEVERAL TIMES FOR STARTING THE CAR. IT'S IS DANGEROUS IN AN EMERGENCY OCCASION THAT I DON'T HAVE MY CAR READY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE OVERPASS THE CAR CUTOFF ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BY A DUMP TRUCK WOULD NOT CRANK BACK UP FOR 7 MINUTES. AIRBAG LIGHT ON SHOW MALFUNCTION OF AIRBAG

MY VEHICLE; FOR MONTHS NOW, HAS EITHER NOT STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY OR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING THROUGH CITY STREETS AND A MAJOR FREEWAY. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER BUT THE BATTERY HAS POWER. POWER STEERING BECOMES LOST AND I HAVE TO PUSH THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD OR FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE HAS A ROUGH IDOL WHEN THIS OCCURS AND BECOMES UNSAFE TO HANDLE AND CAREFULLY REMOVE FROM A BUSY ROAD.I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO VW SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THET CANNOT FIX IT. NO CODE COMES UP ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER AND NO CHECK ENGINE DASH LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. THIS ISSUE SEEMS AS THOUGH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX BY THE DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD IT TO ME, AND SELF DIAGNOSING IS OUT OF MY LEAGUE.

AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY AND GOT TO THE OVERPASS I HAD TO STOP, AFTER A ACCELERATED THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER EXCEPT FOR THE RADIO, FORTUNATELY AFTER THE OVERPASS WAS A DOWNGRADE SO THE CAR WAS ABLE TO COAST TO SAFETY ON TO THE SHOULDER. THIS HAS NOT BEEN THE FIRST INCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING IN CITY STREETS. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR, SHE HAD COMPLAINED TO ME OF THE CAR NOT STARTING AFTER SHE GOTTEN OFF WORK, WE TRIED TO JUMP STARTED IT AND IT STILL WOULD NOT START, SO IT HAD TO WAIT TILL I GOT OFF FROM WORK. SOON AS I GOT TO THE VEHICLE AFTER MY SHIFT, I TRIED TO CRANK START IT AND THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH OUT HESITATION. WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY STREET, AFTER MAKING A STOP THE VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF, I WAS UNAWARE SINCE THE RADIO WAS STILL PLAYING, SO MY WIFE POINTED OUT THIS HAD BEEN HAPPENING TO HER AS WELL, EVEN AFTER WE REPLACED THE BATTERY. SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND HE MENTIONED THAT THIS COULD BE AN ALTERNATOR PROBLEM, SO WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AS WELL, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SHUT DOWN OR IT JUST WON'T START. I DECIDED TO CHECK THE WIRING TO THE BATTERY AND TO THE DISTRIBUTOR AND AFTER DOING THIS THE VEHICLE WILL START UP AGAIN. LAST EPISODE WAS ON 11/15/2019 AS I EXITED THE FREEWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. WHEN I GOT HOME I REMEMBERED THAT MY WIFE HAD HANDED ME A COUPLE OF LATTERS FROM THE VW DEALER WITCH WE HAD OMITTED SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN A CAR LOT. THIS IS HOW I FOUND OUT THAT THESE LETTERS WHERE NOTICES OF THE RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. I SHARED THIS WITH A FRIEND THAT CLAIMS HE ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A VW VEHICLE HE OWNED, HE EXPLAINED THAT THE PROBLEM IN HIS UNKNOWN VW MODEL, THE ELECTRICAL WIRING WAS AT FAULT. I'M SCHEDULED TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL FOR THE KEY COLUMN, WITCH IS NOT ASSOCIATED TO THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO VW REP.

DEALER ISSUED KEYS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF ENGINE IN STATIONARY/PARK POSITION. HAVE TO FLICK KEY FORWARD CAUSING A POWER SURGE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. PROCESS IS GETTING WORSE, NOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON STATING THAT MY FUEL SENSOR IS BROKEN. CAR HAS LOST POWER WHEN ACCELERATING AS WELL. THIS IS ALL CONNECTED TO THE POWER SURGE NEEDED TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. DEALERSHIP STATES, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE, IT WILL COST ME UPWARDS TO $1000 TO FIX IGNITION CYLINDER. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IS KNOWN BY THE DEALERSHIPS. DEALERSHIP ONLY ADVISES TO PURCHASE NEW VEHICLE WITH "PUSH TO START." THIS WILL BE OUR FIRST AND LAST VW.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

THE CAR'S IGNITION IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN ON AND OFF. IT USUALLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO JIGGLE THE KEY THE RIGHT WAY TO GET THE CAR TO TURN OFF, AND THEN ANOTHER FEW MINUTES AND A FORCEFUL YANK TO GET IT OUT. TURNING THE IGNITION ON CAN ALSO BE DIFFICULT, AS THE KEY DOESN'T WANT TO TURN IN THE CYLINDER AND YOU HAVE TO REALLY FORCE IT TO TURN. YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE CAR TO GET HELP BECAUSE THEN IT COULD BE EASILY STOLEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP.

EXCESSIVE STALLING AT INTERSECTIONS, ALMOST HIT WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED. RESTART THE CAR AND WORKS FINE, BUT IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT.

2014 VW JETTA CAR KEY IS GETTING STUCK IN THE KEY IGNITION. PROBLEM STARTED AROUND ONLY AT 50,000 MILES. RIGHT NOW, AROUND 55,900 MILES, THE PROBLEM HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME THE CAR KEY GETS INSERTED INTO THE KEY IGNITION. THE KEY IGNITION TURNING MECHANISM NO LONGER FEELS SMOOTH WHEN TRYING TO START OR TURN OFF THE CAR. THE WORST PART COMES WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF THE CAR. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN OFF THE CAR AS THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. STEERING WHEEL NEEDS TO BE WIGGLED/(TURNED IN THE LEFT AND RIGHT MOTION) WHILE TRYING TO GET THE CAR KEY PULLED OFF FROM THE IGNITION. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING FOR THE OWNERS OF 2014 VW JETTA. AS I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR VW CARS. AND YET VW CUSTOMER CARE DOES NOT TRY TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE AND ONLY THING THAT THEY TELL ME IS THAT THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THE 2014 MODELS. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE KEY IGNITION ON 2012/2013 VW JETTA. THERE SHOULD BE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE MODEL YEAR 2014 JETTA AS WELL BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS 2012/2013 AND 2014. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY VW IS IGNORING THIS ISSUE FOR 2014 VW JETTA. FOR THE SAKE OF PUBLIC SAFETY, VW NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ONGOING ISSUE AND VW NEEDS TO PROVIDE A RECALL OR AT LEAST EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ALL THE CARS WITH THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE. VW CUSTOMER CARE REGION MANAGER IS EXTREMELY SLOW IN RESPONDING TO THIS ISSUE. IT'S BEEN A WEEK AND STILL, THERE IS NO ANSWER ON WHETHER THEY WILL FIX THIS ISSUE OR NOT. ALL SHE SAYS IS THAT THERE IS NO EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE YEAR 2014 MODELS RATHER THAN GIVING ANY APOLOGY. NO COMPASSION FROM VW AT ALL. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WHOLE VW CUSTOMER CARE REGARDING HOW THEY HANDLE THIS ISSUE.

THE DOOR LOCKS JUST CLICK CONTINUOUSLY, WHICH MEANS THE DRIVERS DOOR IS NEVER LOCKED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS ANYONE CAN GET IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT STARTS TO STALL OR HAVE STALLED WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR SITTING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC; OR WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE DEALER STATED THE CODE WAS P0011 AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS ABOUT $75 AND THE LABOR JUST UNDER $400. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITHIN 2 DAYS AND THE ISSUE STARTED AGAIN. NOW THE DEALER STATED CODE P0011 AGAIN, AND ALSO CODE P0016 CRANK SHAFT POSITION CORRELATION WHICH IS THE TIMING BELT HE STATED. HE ALSO QUOTED A PRICE OVER $3000 TO HAVE THE WORK COMPLETED. I ASKED IF THIS WAS THE PROBLEM ALL ALONG AND THE P0011 WAS MISDIAGNOSED THE LAST TIME SINCE YOU HAVE THE SAME CODE AGAIN. WAS THE OLD POSITION SENSOR BAD OR NOT. HE COULD NOT ANSWER. I TOLD HIM I CAN'T KEEP SPENDING MONEY IF YOU CAN'T GRANTEE A FIX. I DON'T WANT TO COME BACK IN A FEW WEEKS WITH THE SAME CODE, BUT THE PRICE KEEPS GOING UP. ALSO, THAT STATED THEY COMPLETED A RECALL UPDATE TO THE ECM SOFTWARE. I TOLD THEM I WAS SURPRISED AS I HAD CHECKED NHTSA AND IT STATED 0 INCOMPLETE RECALLS. I KNOW THIS AS I RESEARCHED THE P0011 ISSUE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, AND SOMEONE MENTIONED IN A POST TO CHECK FOR THIS UPDATE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AS MANY PEOPLE ON THIS SITE HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS TO MY OWN, WITH THE 2014 VW JETTA: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/VOLKSWAGEN/JETTA/2014/ENGINE/ENGINE_DIES_STALLS_WHILE_DRIVING.SHTML I CAN'T AFFORD TO KEEP PAYING FOR POSSIBLE FIXES. I NEED FOR VW TO WORK ON MY VEHICLE AND COMPLETE THE REPAIRS AND MAKE SURE IT'S WHAT IS NEEDED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. ALSO, I'VE NOTICED THAT SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS STARTED, THE CAR IS BURNING FUEL AT AN INCREDIBLE RATE; GOING FROM A HALF A TANK TO A QUARTER TANK IN A 12 MILE TRIP TO WORK AND 12 MILES BACK HOME, WITHOUT ANY OTHER STOPS. I WOULD THINK 24 MILES ROUND TRIP IN TRAFFIC WOULD BURN MAYBE 2 GALLONS, BUT NOT A QUARTER TANK OF GAS.

AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR A YEAR, THE INJECTOR COIL PACK MALFUNCTION. THE CAR WOULD SPUTTER AND SLOW DOWN SPEED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD STOP. I WENT THROUGH 3 REPLACEMENTS. WHEN THE CAR IS IDLE, THE CAR SHAKES OR LIKE IT IS STRESSING ITSELF TO WORK HARD BEING IDLE. THE KEY IGNITION IS NOW GIVING PROBLEMS. THE CAR WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY AND WILL NOT TURN ON. IF YOU HOLD THE KEY AT A CERTAIN ANGLE IT WILL TURN ON BUT IT IS HARD TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT HAD TO WIGGLE THE KEY IN ORDER TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FRACTURED AND BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE DEALER (LEESBURG VOLKSWAGEN, 9105 US-441, LEESBURG, FL 34788, (352) 815-2465) ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE CONTACT HAD AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC COME TO HIS HOME TO REMOVE THE KEY AND REPAIR THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE MANUFACTURER ACKNOWLEDGED THE CONTACT'S CONCERN, BUT STILL WANTED TO CHARGE HIM FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,127.

HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ON DIM. THEN TAILIGHTS WENT OUT. WE'VE HAD THE CAR 2 1/2 YEARS AND THIS IS SECOND TIME THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE WENT OUT LIKE THIS. WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, THE BLUETOOTH ALSO WASN'T WORKING THE WAY IT HAD PREVIOUSLY. ALSO, THE WINDOWS WILL SOMETIMES NOT RESPOND PROPERLY. THEY WILL GO THE OPPOSITE WAY THAT I AM DIRECTING IT TO DO. (PUSH FOR UP AND IT GOES DOWN, FOR EXAMPLE). THESE INCIDENCES HAPPEN BOTH WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AND STATIONARY.

THE CAR CAN BE TURNED ON, HOWEVER, ONCE THE KEY IS IN YOU CAN NOT TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND THE KEY BECOMES STUCK IN THE IGNITION. YOU HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THE KEY REMAINS STUCK

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

"THE ENGINE MAY IDLE ROUGH AND STUMBLE UPON ACCELERATION. THIS MAY BE DUE TO FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE MISADJUSTING THE VALVE TIMING." THI IS THE CURRENT SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR OF MY CAR, HOWEVER, MY VIN HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED. THIS IS THE ISSUE WITH MY CAR. IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE IN PARK, WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, A LIGHT, OR IN A DRIVE THRU. MY CAR HAS STALLED AS A RESULT AT A STOP SIGN AND AT A LIGHT. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS YESTERDAY.

IGNITION SWITCH WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN OFF. EVENTUALLY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF AT ALL. KEY WAS VERY HOT. VEHICLE RAN FOR OVER 2 HOURS AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BOTH WENT OUT AND REFUSE TO TURN ON. BULBS AND FUSES ARE FINE AS WELL AS THE BRIGHTS WORK JUST FINE. THE PROBLEM STARTED THIS MORNING AS I WENT TO LEAVE FOR WORK.

I STARTED THE CAR WITH THE KEY FOB FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND UPON RETURNING HOME FOUND THAT THE KEY WOULD NO LONGER TURN BACK/DISENGAGE/COME OUT OF THE IGNITION (KEY HOLE ON THE STEERING COLUMN). THE CAR NOW RUNS NON-STOP UNTIL THE FUEL IS GONE. THERE ARE NO OTHER ITEMS/KEYS ATTACHED TO THE KEY FOB TO GIVE ANY KIND OF ADDED WEIGHT OR BEND TO THE KEY FOB. UPON LOOKING ONLINE, I'VE REALIZED THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITHIN THE COMMUNITY OF JETTA OWNERS AND NOW KNOW THE THE ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MODEL YEARS 2012-2013 WHICH REALLY MAKES ME WONDER IF VW KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND JUST DIDN'T CARE SINCE THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS IN NEWER MODELS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER ANOTHER EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM VOLKSWAGEN, OR ADDED TO THE EXISTING EXTENDED WARRANTY OF THE 2012-2013 MODEL JETTAS.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION AND I CANNOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE."

I CANNOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE CAR IS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY.

THE DOOR LOCKS WONT WORK, KEEPS JUST CLICKING, THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE WHEN DRIVING ALONE OR STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS, ANYONE CAN ENTER YOUR VEHICLE AT ANYTIME.THE KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WONT TURN. HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLOWING

THE KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OFF THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO TURN OFF THE CAR WAS TO PULL A FUSE AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, A TEDIOUS PROCESS FOR STARTING AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE. ALSO, WHEN I TURNED OFF THE CAR MANUALLY I WAS UNABLE TO LOCK THE CAR WHICH IS UNSAFE.

LOW BEAM ISSUE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY HEADLIGHT NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY KEEP GOING OUT WITHOUT THE BULB BEING BAD

CAR RUNNING AND STOPPED, IGNITION KEY IS STUCK AND WILL NOT TURN CAR OFF OR RELEASE.

IGNITION KEY GETS STUCK, UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR ON. THE CAR WILL NOT SWITCH OVER. ALL LIGHTS AND ACCESSORIES WORK BUT THE CAR WILL NOT TURN ON. THE IGNITION KEY REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT TO GET LOOSE.

I HAVE 2014 VW JETTA THE CAR HAS HORN PROBLEM AND ALSO SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. HORN SOMETIMES WORKING SOMETIMES NOT. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED. DEALER TRY TO CHARGE ME THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND ALSO REPAIR COST.

IGNITION WAS STUCK ON WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO SHUT OFF TOLD BY THE DEALER TO LET IT RUN OUT OF GAS. LOOKED ONLINE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH UNABLE TO BE SHUT OFF CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JIM ELLIS VOLKSWAGEN ATLANTA (5901 PEACHTREE BLVD, ATLANTA, GA 30341, (888) 848-3509) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT BEEN GIVEN THE DIAGNOSIS RESULTS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000. *TT *JS

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE!

THE IGNITION SWITCH LOCKS, CANNOT TURN OFF VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS WITH EITHER OF THE TWO IGNITION KEYS SUPPLIED BY DEALER.

AFTER REPLACING THREE RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHT BULBS IN MY 20K MILES OF OWNERSHIP, LAST WEEK BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE AS IF A RELAY WAS CONTINUOUSLY BEING TRIGGERED. I HAVE HEARD LOTS OF STRANGE RELAY SOUNDS(CHATTER) FROM BENEATH THE DASH OF THIS VEHICLE. I CHECKED FUSES; THOUGH VOLKSWAGEN DOES NOT PROVIDE OR PUBLICLY PUBLISH FUSE BOX DIAGRAMS, I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM CONTINUITY ON EACH FUSE. MY NEXT STEP WAS TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS SO AS USUAL I BOUT THE TOP OF THE LINE BULB FOR THE CAR, THIS DIDN'T CHANGE A THING. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER WHO CLAIMS THE BULBS JUST BURNT OUT AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE I WAS USING "AFTERMARKET BULBS". IN OTHER WORDS, I WOULD HAVE TO BRING MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TO REPLACE SIMPLE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS BULBS AND FUSES. AS AN ELECTRONICS SPECIALIST WORKING IN RESEARCH AND DESIGN I FIND THE RATE AT WHICH THE BULBS ARE FAILING TO BE BOTH ALARMING AND INDICATIVE OF A PROBLEM SOME WHERE ELSE IN LIGHT POWER CIRCUIT (RELAYS, SHORTS, TOLERANCES) . IT SEEMS LIKE MANY OTHER VW JETTA OWNERS FOR 2011-2014 ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO BRING MY CAR IN TO A SHOP TO HAVE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME VW PUBLISHES NO INFORMATION FOR THE VEHICLE OWNER TO TROUBLESHOOT THESE ISSUES ON THEIR OWN. KINDA SEEMS WRONG, MAYBE ILLEGAL.

THE HORN DOES NOT WORK, ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING OR IN PARK, WHEN YOU PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR FOR IT TO START OTHERWISE IT WILL CUT OFF, HEATER BLOWS A LITTLE ON 2 OTHER THAN THAT BLOWS OUT COOL AIR

CHRONIC ISSUE WITH KEY EITHER NOT TURNING TO START IGNITION OR FAILING TO TURN TO SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF WHILE IN PARK. SALES PERSON SUGGESTED, "JUST TURN THE WHEEL BACK AND FORTH A LOT UNTIL IT WORKS. IT'S A SAFETY FEATURE." AFTER NUMEROUS INCIDENCES VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY ATTEMPTED TO HAVE ME PAY FOR THE FAILURE OF THEIR PRODUCT. UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THE HOUSING FOR THE DEFECTIVE PART IS COVERED, BUT NOT THE PART ITSELF. DEFECT IN THE PART IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SOUTH BAY VOLKSWAGEN (3131 NATIONAL CITY BLVD, NATIONAL CITY, CA 91950) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION COIL AND STEERING LOCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,879.

IGNITION KEY WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL, COULD NOT START CAR OR ENGINE. TRIED TURNING WHEEL, BRAKE, EMERGENCY BRAKE, GEARSHIFT, STILL COULD NOT TURN KEY. INTERNET SEARCH FOUND NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH VW JETTA IGNITION KEY PROBLEMS. THIS IGNITION SHOULD BE RECALLED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS.

HORN AND CAR ALARM STOP WORKING SINCE 09/03/2017. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN MY HORN STOP WORKING, AS SOON AS I GOT A CHACE TO PULLED OVER, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY CAR ALARM STOPPED WORKING TOO, I CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIXE IT THE ISSUE THAT IT SEEMS IT A MANUFACTURER RECALL BUT I'M GETTING CHARE FOR IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT FAILURES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, WHICH CAUSED THE LIGHTS, HORN, AND BATTERY TO FAIL, AND THE RADIO TO OVERHEAT. ALSO, THE ABS AND AIR BAG WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HERITAGE VOLKSWAGEN OF SOUTH ATLANTA (LOCATED AT 4305 JONESBORO ROAD, UNION CITY, GA), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ECU WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, WHEN TRYING TO CUT THE CAR OFF

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. CANNOT TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THE KEY WILL NOT RETURN TO THE OFF POSITION.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF ENGINE.

CAN NOT TURN IGNITION TO "OFF" POSITION WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING. CAR WAS PLACED IN PARK L, PARKED IN GROCERY STORE FL T SURFACE PARKING LOT. DROVE CAR BACK HOME,TRIED AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. CAR WAS STATIONARY.

IGNITION KEY WILL NOT ROTATE IN IGNITION SWITCH TO TURN ENGINE OFF. THIS IS A COMMON DEFECTIVE DESIGN CONDITION IN THE NON-KEYLESS MODELS. ONE TRICK LEARNED ON INTERNET IS TO TAP END OF KEY WITH SCREWDRIVER HANDLE WHILE LIGHTLY TURNING IN OFF DIRECTION. SAFETY CONCERN IS INABILITY TO TURN CAR ENGINE OFF IN EMERGENCY, ELECTRICAL FAULT/FIRE OR FOR POLICE SAFETY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLASHED. THE DRIVER DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT SHOULDER AND BACK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE INJURIES TO THE OTHER VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WERE UNKNOWN. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSIS. SEVERAL WEEKS PRIOR TO THE COLLISION, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE FLASHING INSTRUMENTAL PANEL LIGHTING AND INTERMITTENT STARTING ISSUE. AT THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING A NEW BATTERY. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2014 JETTA TSI: OPENING & CLOSING DOORS, GLOVE BOX, AND TRUNK CAUSES THE FUEL PUMP TO ENGAGE, YOU CAN EVEN HEAR IT. THIS CAUSES FUMES TO ACCUMULATE IN MY GARAGE TO A HIGH LEVEL. THE FUEL PUMP RECALL HAS BEEN DONE PER DEALERSHIP. IMO THE FUEL PUMP SHOULDN'T ENGAGE UNTIL THE KEY IS TURNED IN THE IGNITION. IT IS NOT A FUEL LEAK, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE. IT IS A FUEL LEAK, IN THE PRESENCE OF OPENING & CLOSING DOORS, GLOVE BOX, AND TRUNK. I HAVE DISCUSSED WITH VW AND THEIR OPINION IS THAT "THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS". THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY SINGLE CAR GARAGE AND NOT RUNNING. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASES.

FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. LOCKS ON THE "ON" OR "OFF" POSITION.WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY IT IS HARD TO TURN IT ON OR OFF BECAUSE IT LOCKS.

CAR CONTINUES TO LEAK, TIRE SENSOR ALWAYS ON DOESN'T GO AWAY, SINCE THE BEGINNING OF LEASE TERMS, ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED IS CONSISTENT, WHILE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON STREET OR ON A HIGHWAY. FURTHER, THE SAME OCCURS WITH ANY TURN.

ONE DAY I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A SMALL STREET WITH A SLIGHT HILL. FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS STALLING BUT I THOUGHT MAYBE I DIDN'T PRESS ON THE GAS HARD ENOUGH. THE CAR ROLLED SLIGHTLY BACKWARDS UNTIL I HIT THE BRAKES. I TRIED PRESSING THE GAS HARDER. NEXT THING I KNEW, THE ENGINE WAS OFF AND BATTERY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. A COUPLE OF OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AS WELL, BUT THOSE COME ON AND THEN GO OFF OFTEN SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THAT. THE NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND AS I SLOWED DOWN WITH TRAFFIC APPROACHING STOP LIGHT THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO QUIT ON ME. I PULLED OVER INTO A BANK PARKING LOT TO STOP AND RESTART THE CAR. ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON BUT IT IS OFF NOW. I'M WORRIED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. NOT SURE WHAT IS WRONG OR IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE.

WE DROVE OUR 2014 V/W JETTA TO GROCERY STORE AND VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS SITTING IN IT WAITING FOR ME TO RETURN NO MORE THAN 20 MINUTES THE VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND BEGIN FLASHING AND TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. WE CALLED AAA FOR TOWING AND AN EXTRA BATTERY BUT THE BATTER WAS WORKING FINE. ALMOST 2 HOURS LATER WAITING FOR 2ND TOW TRUCK TO COME AND TOW THE VEHICLE, IT TURNED OVER AND WE MANAGED TO DRIVE 2 MILES HOME AND THE CAR STARTED ONE MORE TIME AND HAS NOT TURNED BACK ON SINCE. WE HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THE DEALER SAYS IT IS ENGINE PROBLEM AND WE HAVE TO PAY $396 TO PAY FOR REPAIR. WE HAVE HAD THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE FOR 9 MONTHS AND IT HAS BURNED MY HUSBAND BACK AND NOW IT DOESN'T WORK..... *TR

IN TRAFFIC, THE SINGLE LOW TONE HORN ON THE JETTA IS BARELY AUDIBLE. THE VW DEALER SERVICE MANAGER SAYS THE HORN IS STANDARD, AND ACCEPTABLE TO THEM AND WILL NOT REPLACE IT. IS A VEHICLE HORN A SAFETY ISSUE? YES. IF THE HORN DOES NOT GIVE OUT SOUND WHICH IS AUDIBLE ON THE ROADWAY, WHAT GOOD IS IT? WHY IS A HORN REQUIRED FOR A VEHICLE INSPECTION STICKER? WHY NOT JUST INSTALL A BICYCLE JINGLE HORN? THERE ARE HORNS THAT ARE LOUD, AFTER MARKET. THE JETTA HORN IS WEAK AND DANGEROUS. PLUS, IT IS NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO BE HEARD IN A PARKING LOT WHEN LOOKING FOR YOUR VEHICLE, WHICH IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE FOR WOMEN AT NIGHT. *TR

2014 VW JETTA SUDDENLY STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. ENGINE STALLED AND HAD COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER, REDUCING STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITY, CREATING A DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION LIKELY TO INCREASE CHANCES OF A CRASH. ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO AVOID TRAFFIC AND GET OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND SHUT ENGINE OFF. WAS ABLE TO RESTART, MOVE CAR 10 FEET, AND STALLED AGAIN. RESTARTED AND DROVE STRAIGHT TO POINT OF SALE (DEALER QUIRK VW OF BRAINTREE, MASS). DEALER HAD CAR TWICE, FOR SIX DAYS TOTAL. DEALER SAID THEY WERE EVENTUALLY ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE CONDITION, BUT DID NOT FIND A PHYSICAL CAUSE. DEALER SAID THEY DISCOVERED A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" WAS AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND APPLIED THE UPDATE. DEALER SAID THE CAR WAS THEN "100 PERCENT" NOT AT RISK OF HAVING THIS ISSUE. TWO WEEKS LATER, ON AUGUST 9TH, CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART. CAR WAS TOWED TO SAME DEALER (QUIRK VW) AFTER HOURS. NO NEW ACTION TAKEN YET. I PLAN TO ASK FOR A REFUND. THIS ISSUE HAS PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER AS WELL AS THAT OF MY PASSENGERS AND THE LIVES OF OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME, AND I BELIEVE REPRESENTS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THIS CAR. WITH UNEXPECTED STALLING AND LOSS OF CONTROLS WHILE DRIVING, I AM PUT AT THE MERCY OF OTHER DRIVERS TO AVOID MY CAR UNEXPECTEDLY AND AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS, I OR ANOTHER PERSON WON'T BE SO LUCKY. *TR
