Random misfire permanent cylinder v and after the start of effects on the automatic transmission heard tuba and some of the development
The timing chain system in my 2010 volkswagen jetta wolfsburg edition failed, rendering the car immobile. fortunately, the vehicle was in a parking lot, as failure in a road could have caused an accident. based on readings, this has happened to multiple cars with the same engine and has resulted in a class action lawsuit against volkswagen.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 volkswagen jetta. while driving 50 mph, the vehicle failed to stop when the brake pedal was depressed. the driver had to engage the emergency brake to stop the vehicle and the anti-lock brake system warning indicator illuminated. the driver was able to coast the vehicle to the side of the road. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that oil was leaking from the engine and the brake pedal was temporarily repaired. the vehicle was later taken to dublin volkswagen (6085 scarlett ct, dublin, ca 94568, (925) 829-0800), but was not diagnosed or repaired due to the diagnostic and repair fees. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
When driving this vehicle it will at times hesitate and stumble severely to the point where you will have to pull over. no check engine light or codes noted when scanned. problem started right after vw tdi emissions fixes. vw dealer claims no connection.
Second failure of intake manifold. vw has admitted to a manufacturing defect but only extended warranty. had the manifold replaced at 50,000 miles roughly. unit failed again at 150,000 miles. i dont believe they originally fixed the problem. vw is placing high cost on owners to replace after 120,000 miles. repair runs higher than $800.00. failure to replace this part can deem the car unsafe.
While driving anytime that we would slow down or put the vehicle into reverse the vehicle would go randomly in neutral. it was randomly this would happen and became more frequent. took it to a dealer and they said we would have to have the transmission replaced soon. right before this their were about another $3,000 worth of issues we had to fix.
Not able to turn key in the ignition. sometimes not able to start car. sometimes not able to turn car off.
Driving on interstate highway for greater than 30 minutes, there was onset of strong rain conditions at about 30 minutes of driving time -- the epc light came on and the ability to accelerate was lost. symptoms of downshifting were noted just prior to onset of issue. depressing the accelerator resulted in rpm increase with no acceleration in relatively fast traffic (>50mph). was able to pull off safely and shut vehicle off. very dangerous situation in high speed/strong rain conditions. epc light turned off after shutoff and re-start, and i assumed a slip on wet surface. restarted and attempted to rejoin traffic. traveled less than 50 feet and epc light re-lit with no slip, followed immediately by lighting of the 'check engine' light. same lack of acceleration and increased rpm with depressing throttle pedal was noted. turned off engine on shoulder again and restarted after five minute period in attempt to get home and was able to very carefully/slowly merge back into traffic with check engine light and epc light lit for entirety of trip home (>50 miles). vehicle drove for additional approximately 50 miles without symptoms onset. vehicle ...
My key has been difficult to turn in the ignition to start the car recently. yesterday i had the same problem but the car started. after driving the car the key would not turn to turn off the car. no matter what i can not get the key out of the ignition. i only got the motor to shut off because my son knew to pull a fuse and then take off a battery cable. this ignition problem is serious and is a safety issue if you can't turn off the car.
Engine of my car caught fire after a short drive, luckily my daughter was able to pull it on our drive way and move away safely before engine caught fire. we had to call fire department to put off the fire.
Ignition system keeps failing. car keys get stuck and car won't turn off and having a hard time tuning the key to start the car. each time the car is parked and the steering lock is disengaged.
The gas engine car stalls out when stationary, in motion, on city streets and highways.i turn ignition off then start the car again and go on to my way to the next stall. it is not bad gas and mechanics and dealerships are still guessing what wrong.
Diesel fuel filter is clogging up and was told that it required replacement at a cost of $7,000.00.
My wife's 2010 jetta 2.0t tsi experienced an engine stall and complete loss of power while driving at approximately 40 mph on a straight section of city street. this was a routine trip under clear weather conditions. with no traffic behind her, she safely coasted to the side of the road. after waiting 5-10 minutes she was able to restart the engine and, with no check engine lights appearing, drive approximately four miles home. the following morning, upon starting the engine, multiple cylinder misfires began occurring and the engine was immediately shutoff and the car was towed to the dealership for diagnosis. the dealership discovered that the stall was due to the timing chain tensioner failing, which allowed the timing chain to skip six teeth on the camshaft and the valves to contact the pistons resulting in the engine self-destructing. they recommended a nearly complete engine replacement at a cost of over $8,000. the car was purchased brand new in 2009 and has been maintained impeccably as specified by vw. speaking with the dealership engine technician, we learned that the timing chain tensioner is a known defective part by vw and that in 2011-2012, ...
Car kept stalling after take off when you accelerated. when taking it to the repair shop it would not start and had to be towed there. when they got it they discovered all but 1 quart of the oil in the engine was gone. they determined that this malfunction damaged the engine and the engine would have to be replaced. have the oil changed every 3-5000 miles and it wasn't due for an oil change for another 1000 miles or so. they have no idea why this happened and volkswagen won't do anything about it. all of this took place in the city. we were to afraid to take it out on the highway. car has 109000 miles on it and has been a lemon from day 1. this was just the icing that topped the cake.
