Out of nowhere the epc light and mil lights came on the car lost power and the engine was rumbling. very scary while driving on the highway. took it to the dealer. ignition coil and spark plug wires has to be replaced. cost me over $900. a day later, i see that this same problem was a recall on jettas in the past. i am out of pocket $900 and was nearly rear-ended on the highway because of this. why hasn't vw corrected this problem? i want to be reimbursed since this is a problem that has existed in jettas for year!
Jetta wouldn't start, called dealership and they said get it towed in, we have 12 other just like it, zero degree's outside, they told me about the inner cooler technical bulletin and they'd take of it, they said they would defrost it and look inside the turbo, they never did look inside the turbo they unhooked one tube and yeas moisture liquid came out they said not enough, that's not what they told me they were gonna do, its not a coincidence that 12 other cars are having the same problem, they didn't take care of it and made me pay for a new starter, totally unacceptable the 12+ other cars having the same problem. $84 towing and $480 for starter, they need to recall the turbo's causing the problems. unacceptable
Vehicle stalls randomly while idling and has happened twice will driving at low speeds, which causes loss of power steering. the car also drives rough before, and the stalling happens sometimes 3-4 times a day and other times not at all.

After stopping the car, the cooling fan remains on, and the engine seems inappropriately hot, yet i had not driven that far. ideas range from a blocked radiator, a poor thermostat? the coolant had been changed. has anyone else reported a similar problem? it was only 70 to75 degrees and often a bit humid, but usually at night since i seldom drove in the heat of the day. it was parked and the temp of the engine was never above 190 degrees, though the engine felt hot. this happened many times (10 plus) mostly during the winter in florida. i reported it once but the tech didn't see it as a problem.what do you think?
I bought the car in october 2017 and had to bring it back few days later because the water pump was leaking. they fixed it and couple weeks later i had to replace the heater core couplings because they were leaking. now in the beginning of december 2017 i was coming back from orlando fl from the dealership because i had to get my title from them, the car broke down completely on the highway. check engine light and a epc light came on as well. i had to get it towed back to my house and had multiple mechanics stop by and inspect the car but there was nothing they could do because of the tools they didn't have. i even called other mechanic shops that specialize in european cars. i finally had the car towed to the volkswagen dealership & they gave me a quote that was more than the value of the car. i also gave the dealership a call where i purchased the car from and they told me they would get back to me but never did until i called back with my mother and they said it has no warranty. then i called the ...
2012 volkswagen jetta gli 2.0 turbo engine. the vehicle while in motion was misfiring causing speed reduction without notice, running rough while at an idle and would rattle under load ascending a hill. dealership service member said the tensioner chain was about to snap at only 80,000 miles on the car. continued to report if the tensioner chain snapped, the engine would die immediately. this could be a major issue with highway driving and the car unexpectedly stopped accelerating, these parts should last more than 120,000 miles, if not, the life of a vehicle. i consider myself lucky to notice the problem before it became a bigger and costlier issue.

My 2012 jetta gli timing chain tensioner failed, luckily mine failed at as i started up my car in morning, because it happened while i was on the road not only would it have caused more damage to my engine, but it would have caused some accidents. after having my vehicle diagnosed on what caused my engine to breakdown i learned that it was caused by a faulty timing chain tensioner, a known issue that vw has refused to aknolowedge but if yo9u speak to any mechanic that has delt with vw and audi they will tell you that is a well known issue.
