2005 Volkswagen Jetta brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dt*: the contact stated the brakes do not always depress. The first 3 times this happened the vehicle was in reverse backing out of a parking space and the vehicle stopped itself. The last time this occurred the vehicle was in drive, which caused the contact to hit a vehicle. This caused minor damage to the contact's vehicle. The dealership has seen the vehicle multiple times, but they were unable to duplicate the problem, and the computer determined the vehicle was fine. The manufacturer sent an area representative. He was unable to duplicate the problem.*ak updated 02/06/06.
The car is squealing ridiculously loud when the car comes to a stop or in reverse. (mostly in reverse) I have contacted volkswagen multiple times. They have not been able to fix this problem or given any information on fixing this problem. The dealership has tried everything they could to fix it. I have other friends with the same year make and model with the same noise. The squealing noise is so loud, it sounds like an 18 wheeler coming to a stop. We keep getting the run around from volkswagen. If I had known this problem would not be fixed, I would never have taken out a lease on this car. It is only with this model. My previous jetta has never done anything like that. The car is a 2005 volkswagen jetta gli 1.8 turbo. I want answers from volkswagen on when they are planning to correct this problem. I want this known that there is a problem and for people who have over $350 a month to have the car, that this problem does not need to wait 1 more minute.
Dt: the contact stated on 8-16-05 while driving on the highway the car died. Then it lurched forward, stopped and lurched forward again. This was the fifth time the car has been at the dealers. The first time the check engine light came on, and they replaced a fuel injector. The second time the ABS light, the air bag light, and the check engine light came on. They installed a full distributor rail. The third time the engine overheated, and the air conditioner would not work . They replaced the battery and cooling fans. The fourth time the check engine light came on again, and they replaced a valve. This last time the dealer gave him a loaner car. They have not diagnosed the problem yet. The dealer called on friday to tell him they would not pay for the loaner car.
