I have a 2010 jetta wolfsburg 2.0 turbo. i have had nothing but problems with it and the dealer can't seem to help me. the doors won't lock or unlock consistently with the key fob. when i lock it, the horn beeps to let me know the alarm is on, but the doors don't lock! not even manually. if i open the door, the alarm sounds, but the doors won't lock! the touchscreen radio made a popping sound about 5 days ago and went completely black. the radio is hooked up to the car's blue tooth so that is not working either. no hands free talking for me! i also paid a lot of money to have a lifetime subscription to sirius satellite radio for that car. that sucks! the blinkers don't work properly. if i put my left blinker on, the right one goes on and vice versa. my expensive key, broke off in the ignition randomly. the car stalls while idling. the gas pedal gets stuck in the "up" position causing me to lose acceleration on the highway and barely be able to move. my check engine light is constantly going on and off for no apparent reason. it is one thing after another. the car is only 4 yrs old! these are safety issues that it seems lots of vw owners are having. having no locking doors, or doors that won't unlock, no alarm, no radio/bluetooth, faulty blinkers, and a sticky gas pedal are all dangerous! i left my car at the dealer for a whole day and they said "hmmmm......it's a mystery" um....what! from what i can see, i should be expecting my car battery to die any day now due to the radio. lemon! *tr
When i started my car, a 2010 jetta sedan tdi, it started making a strange noise, but still ran. i tried to drive it over to the volkswagen dealer which was approximately 2 miles away. i pulled out onto the highway and achieved a speed of approximately 30mph. the car continued to make the noise and began to lose power within a half mile. i pulled into the parking lot of a shopping center at which time the engine died and would not restart. the car had to be towed to the volkswagen dealer, wallace imports of johnson city, tn. it took them approximately 1 1/2 weeks to get the parts in and repair the vehicle. the service representative explained to my husband that there was a catastrophic failure of the high pressure fuel pump, which resulted in metal fragments contaminating the entire fuel system. as a result, he was told that every part which came in contact with the fuel had to be replaced, including the fuel tank, fuel lines, filters, fuel injectors, and many others. there was a two page list of the parts used to fix my car. my concern is that this could happen again resulting in an unsafe situation. further, we also have 2010 jetta tdi sportswagen and have concerns of the same problem occurring at highway speeds since my husband routinely make round trips of 230 miles at least twice a week traveling mainly on the interstate. *tr
I'm was driving up hills with 38 mph notice that glow plug light flashing the car lost all power almost instantly. fortunately i was able to managed the car to emergency lane. lucky that i'm not on the freeway and i didn't have my 6 years old son with me at that time. this is a safety issue that we need to address to vwgoa so they can do a recall. you can find 100 or more same failures at www.tdiclub.com, some of the member had to replaced the hpfp twice. dealer found hpfp failures. metal found in the fuel pump due to hpfp self-destruction. repaired and paid for by vw. replaced the whole fuel system, tank, 3 fuel pumps, all lines and hoses. *tr
Driving on interstate at 70mph. engine glowplug light and main failure light came on and engine quit. dealer advised failure was due to high pressure fuel pump failure. *js
The car affected is a 2010 vw jetta tdi. ever since i've owned the car, it has had an issue with running ruff or stalling out. at 30,426 miles i had the dealer look at the vehicle. they ran a diagnostic and test drive with no issues found. this enough for it to be noticeable, but no symptoms are present. i brought the car in again for the same issue on 12/8/14 at 83748 miles, but this time there was an esp error that flashed in the mdi display and then went away. the dealer could not verify the customer complaint. the service manager also stated that he had a similar vehicle with the same problem and the could also not be diagnosed. at the time the dealer told me that i could have the software upgraded and that would be a charge to me or i could have the injectors changed out and that would be covered under the extended warranty. the were charging according to how they were going to fix the problem, not on the issue itself. vw sent me the paperwork in april of 2015 to get my money back. the dealer recommended changing the mdi display, but was not sure this would fix the problem. my concern is that there is an issue that volkswagen cannot diagnose that could possibly turn into a safety issue with the car stalling. *tr

I purchased my brand new vw jetta from the dealership lot. less than 4 weeks later when the car was in the driveway i started it, and as i pressed the gas down the car began to move (in a sputtering/jerking type of movemen)t but it was not able to go more than 7 feet before it stalled out,, and the rpm's were high and the car just moved like it was not able to properly accelerate, it stalled out before the end of my drive way. i started it again and it drove properly, this exact incident occurred at least1- 2 times a week on a cold start. i took it to dealership, nothing found on diagnostics.then at least every 1-2 months i took it to dealership, no proof on diagnostics .next a recall & work was done. same problem occurred again and again. took it back. they said they could not find a solution because its not repeating the stalling when its at dealership. i am still having the issue of my car stalling out when driving, it is a safety issue. it is dangerous driving a car that stalls out while you are on the road. since the cold start issues i have also had it stall out on the road, in an intersection. this car is still repeating the stalling. i cannot get any answers on how to fix it due to no "proof" on diagnostics check. i feel unsafe in my car. it starts to accelerate then shuts off. this is not acceptable and hasnt ever been properly fixed even thoughvw corporate has a case on the issues of my car. *tt
2010 volkswagen sportwagen tdi. car suffered dozens of loss of power incidents, several left the car without power at freeway speeds. repeat visit to dealer did not resolve problem, dealer was aggressive that i was mis-fueling the car with gasoline instead of diesel, which never happened once (i have full receipts for entire vehicle ownership). latest incident left me without power or effective steering on i-5 bridge between oregon and washington, nearly causing an accident. dealer and vw would not answer any questions, and claimed if they could not reproduce the issue, i was on my own. i suspect the high pressure fuel pump had an internal defect, that didn't lead to complete failure/destruction, but would intermittently throw errors causing the car to stall or lose power. *tr
2010 vw jetta 2.0 tdi cup edition: entering traffic in first gear, at about 4000-4200 rpm, car had a complete loss of power. engine did not die. i pushed in clutch and power returned. this has occurred monthly with no consistency since i purchased the car in july 2010. occurs with a warm engine. cold engine. various levels of fuel, and various climate conditions. it has been taken to o'brien volkswagen, a certified repair facility, every 3-6 months to have the issue resolved. dealership can not replicate the issue and as a result has not solved the problem. problem has been witnessed by three different passengers. a secondary stalling issue occurs between 1200-1800 with light gas peddle pressure. in this case, the car has a small pause or decrease in power. down shifting and accelerating eliminates the problem. *tr
The engine spontaneously stopped running while driving. i was entering an intersection, turning left, and put in the clutch to down-shift (manual transmission) and the engine stopped as soon as the clutch pedal went down, as if i had turned off the key. the engine starter would not re-engage until i figured out i had to turn the ignition all the way off then back to the start position to engage the starter. the engine re-started normally at that point and ran fine for the rest of that trip. the engine has done the same thing about six or eight times since then, the most recent time being about two weeks ago. this can make it quite interesting, turning at an intersection with oncoming traffic and having to take a hand off the steering wheel to do the complicated re-start - if the driver were to panic a re-start would not happen. sometimes the engine also runs very rough, especially at idle, and will not accelerate the car - this has been a problem when turning onto a street or highway and needing to get up to speed to not get hit while merging with traffic. the engine also idles rough periodically but that has not been a safety concern although it might be related to the other problems. these problems happen at all engine and air temperatures - hot or cold, and even when the engine is fully warmed up. multiple dealers and third-party repair shops have been unable to find the cause of this problem; no error codes are shown by the engine control computer and it happens infrequently enough they have not been able to reproduce the problem themselves. *tr
