recall -engine and engine cooling i have a 07 jetta 2.0l. 2 months ago i noticed a gas smell when i took my oil cap off i noticed there was a lot of steam/smoke & i could tell that's where the smell was coming from. there was nothing visible other than the steam/gas vapor. the coolant level never moves. i was only getting 15 miles to the gallon because it was leaking into my engine. on 7/13/19 the engine seized (locked) up while i was driving it. i was driving my wife to work with our 5 year old son. i had just turned on the street of her work going 10 miles an hour & it felt like my car just died. i couldn't even get the engine to turn over. i had to get my vehicle towed to a repair shop. which is when i found out that the engine seized. i have absolutely no transportation now. (recall faulty air bags my car is miles away at the repair shop, so i can't take a picture of the air bag light but it turned on about a week ago and hasn't shut off. my concern is that this is something that a repair shop can not fix/ its going to be so expensive that i can't afford to fix it. it has faulty air bags that can just go off while i'm driving! safety bags are a 'must have' & it is illegal to sell/produce any non safe vehicle! i seen that volkswagen company made a hand full of recalls on this vehicle over the last 8 years. the previous owner kept the car in a garage & started it daily he just never checked for recalls. parts on this car are compatible with the 06-09 jettas& sportwagons & he had replaced parts. i'm unsure which ones were replaced. my vehicle falls under the category of a vw jetta sedan. i'm having all of the same recall issues that the jetta is recalling for. & the horn does not work when it's parked. your company posted the recalls for all of the same problems that i'm having with this vehicle! recall no. 40j2/s4. recall no. 20i4/u1. recall no. q8.
Key gets stuck in ignition and i cannot turn off the engine. car only have 125k and maintenance always with dealer.
Had to replace both cooling fans on my 2007 vw wolfsburg jetta. check engine light was on cand causing the engine to overheat. causing the pressure relief lid on the overflow bottle to be activated causing coolant to come out. this would happen when the outside tem was 50+ degrees fahrenheit. vehicle would be driving or idle.
Car jerks, one fan do not work, oil leak, wind shield washer and coolant system. brought car from drive time in febuary 2013. i've noticed these problems when driving and parking. the car over heats as well. i also notified drive-time and was told to get another diagnostic test. i did not have the money for another.
Engine shuts off while driving. happened multiple times, had it towed to an auto shop that works w/my used car warrenty, they tested generator and battery and both were good. no recalls on my vin however, i did see recall# 14e007000 on 2007 jetta's and it states the engine could shut off due to timing belt from faulty water pump.

I was coming off a ramp and tried to accelerate, but the car wouldn't go more than 20mph. all the gears on the gear selector display found in the driver information center stays lit up and affects the transmission. the car feels like it is stuck in neutral. i researched this problem online and there are numerous articles that states there is a recall related to malfunctioning mechatronic units. this is not related to the original dsg recalls. vw customer care or the dealership i take it to won't do anything about it even with the information on the internet about it. *tr
Was driving on the freeway at about 3 in the afternoon traveling at approximately 60 mph when car stopped accelerating in the middle of on going traffic. power to vehicle dyed out causing me to stall in the center of a busy freeway. this problem has occurred several other times. i have called volkswagen but they would not take full responsibility for on going problem.. my vehicle has an extended warranty because of this known problem but yet they will only cover 25% of repair cost.. this vehicle is a hazard.. somebody please address this issue quick before there is a casualty.. *tr
As i was driving 65mph on the highway my car completely shut down. i had no lights, no gas, no anything. i was able to pull off to the side of the road. after about 20 minutes, the car started back up, but i only made it about 1.5 miles before it did it again. vw dealership replaced my entire computer module (j519) and then let me leave the lot. i continued to have trouble starting the car. the dealership replaced the relay for the starter because it was overheating. i am now (oct 2012) having issues with the unlocking of my driver side door. *tr
