I originally took my 2015 jetta se tsi certified car in to be serviced at the vw dealership because of the steering pin safety warning that was issued because the airbag light and steering light were on and it started having trouble starting and all kinds of instrument lights were showing. i was told i need to replace my battery which i did and they did an 24dr emissions recall to my car. i picked my car up and was told now i have a 'no key' code. i have since had nothing but trouble. i have to start my car in emergency start mode... erghh. my car began bogging down. my car then began to randomly without warning flash the esc control light on, then epc light and then engine light. at the same time this is happening, no matter what speed i am going even interstate driving, the car will not accelerate. i had this happen and had to pull over coming out of a tunnel. i restarted and drove home with only the engine light on. i had my car then towed back to another vw dealership. they tested my car on the computer and i was told to replace the spark plugs for misfires which i did. they also noted the 'no key' code and diagnosed this as me needing a new body control module which i suspect definitely has something to do with the recall being performed either directly or indirectly. i returned to the original dealership who replaced my battery and performed the recall without my knowledge or consent. on the way to take my car to the dealership the same incident with my esc and engine light occurred. i pulled off the road and restarted it; this time the engine light didn't stay on. i arrive at the dealership and wait four hours to be told the diagnostics show no history of any incidents or impaired drivability. i was sent home feeling unsafe because even vw can't diagnose my vw. and it happened again after i left! this happens at speeds of 10, 30 or even 60 mph!!
My rear view camera stopped working on my vehicle. when i shift into reverse, the screen doesn't change to the rear view camera any more. try it many times now.
The horn and alarm chirp has gone crazy. sometimes horn works but very soft and some other times doesn't work at all. the alarm chirp same. this is a new car and we can't believe this is happening. workmanship going bad or location of the horn getting too much water and this is not customers fault. this will happen on and off.
Cannot turn vehicle off once on. key gets stuck. vehicle is in park stationary. after jiggling the key for over a couple hours i finally got the vehicle to turn off.
The ignition key stays inside the ignition switch, and sometimes the car can not be started or it can not be removed from the ignition switch
My vehicle starts to stall out while either pulling out in front of traffic or while sitting at a stop light. the car does not stall out completely but for 4 seconds + the car will be non responsive to the gas and the tachometer goes to 0 which when pulling out in front of someone with the car sitting idle when its supposed to be moving is very scary. this happens randomly and last occurance happened today.

While driving my car i received a warning that these services were not working.blind spot monitor,front assist and rear traffic. i have car net service on this car. after being on the fwy for 2 hours, i finally was able to get off the fwy to turn back on the features, since you must be stopped. it seems that the car net program had sent a report from that day saying everything was fine. i believe when the program sends a report it glitches the software that controls these vital car functions. i called vw & car-net but they will not admit that there is a bug in the integration of the vehicle that causes the car to fail. this also happened to me once before while driving and i was told on the dash board that the car was overheating. i stopped and took it to the dealer and noting was wrong. this was also after the car sent a report from the car net program. both happen while the car was in motion and gave no warning on the fwy. i believe this should be looked into before someone gets hurt. vw seems to not care about this.
Back-up camera on 2015 fails to work after repeated times vehicle is placed in reverse
I rented a vehicle through hertz to drive for lyft. i discovered the car horn didn't work when someone cut me off and i had to swerve to avoid them. this caused me to hit a curb and ultimately lose a hubcap. hertz wants to charge me for hubcap... when i informed hertz about the issue i was told that they only inspect the body of the vehicle, not whether it functions. when pressed, they insisted that it was lyft's responsibility to check that the car is working and safe. lyft claims it is the responsibility of hertz to inspect vehicles are working properly.
On september 25, 2017 i had parked my car for about 4 hours on a very hot day (over 90 degrees farenheit) and i entered the car, turned on the air conditioning on full cool and began to drive. approximately 5 minutes later, while driving on the highway, the passenger side front door window ":exploded" out sending glass outside the car into the lane next to me and onto the roadway. the noise of the explosion was very loud and startled me. the glass that remained around the edges of the broken window fell into the car in the passenger area but most had been blown out in the "explosion.". the glass that blew out scratched the car paint underneath and behind the door on the outside. i yakt extremely good care of my cars and the window, prior to the explosion, was completely intact with no damages or scratches on the window. had anyone been next to me in another auto with the window open, or if i had been statioanary and a pedestrian was outside the window, i am certain they would have sustained injuries. while the force of the blast was outward, i beleive anyone in the passenger seat would have likewise sustained injury, certainly to the eyes as minute glass particles were blown about the car on the passenger side. in my opinion, the glass was either manufactured in a faulty manner that did not allow for the temperature variances or installed at manufacture of the vehicle in a manner the did not allow expansion and/or contraction of the glass caused by temperature variances.
The ignition cylinder/switch is bad. when running, the key will not turn off. this is dangerous for many reasons. there is not a recall on this but there needs to be after reading forums and seeing how many jetta's have the same exact problem.
My vehicle is experiencing the exact same symptoms as the vw jetta tsb # 8715-18. 2015 year miles approx 53k. i am a subsequent owner. original owner was a rental car company hence the higher mileage. vw refuses to stand behind the fact that a ac condenser valve should not be sticking at this point and with showing the exact same symptoms as a tsb on the golf i want this reviewed deeper by nhtsa. 1300 ax repair should not be happening to a vehicle that's only 2 to 3 years from dfu.
Received safety recall letter from vw of america. as indicated in letter, i've experienced refueling issues; i tried to contact serramonte vw for service. not only was i unsuccessful in getting through to the service department, their webpage for initiating service requests is currently inactive. hoping you will notify serramonte vw to be accessible so as to respond to safety recalls. this is my experience but there are likely other owners who have experienced the same issue of getting in touch with serramonte vw. the dealership should not be so busy as to not receive phone calls.
Just seconds after the epc light came on (i didn't know what it meant) my brakes went out. the brake pedal was stiff and my car had no response in slowing down. luckily i had been in a position where there was time and space to react and to slow down using the e brake. just minutes earlier i had been on the highway, as well as in some city traffic - if i lost my brakes at any other moment things could have been deadly. vw ended up swapping out the entire engine. the camshaft had broken in half. i was told by the technician that this was related to some sort of recall issue they had in the past, but i don't know anything more than that. i'm very troubled that a less than 2-year-old car with 16k miles on it can have such a sudden and serious malfunction. please advise and ensure this does not happen to anyone else. oh and to make things worse, i was on my honeymoon...
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 volkswagen jetta. the contact stated that the manufacturer's misrepresentation of the emission results affected the value of her vehicle. as a result, no one wanted to buy the vehicle. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the vin was not provided. the contact had not experienced a failure.
