2009 Volkswagen Jetta: windshield wiper failure

Filed May 22, 2020 · Driver assistance, Steering · TN

The wipers stopped working first. Then it got stuck n neutral and went into limp mode and I'm unable to drive it. Had to get a new gear shifter and after all that money spent it still isn't fixed.

I have 2009 volkswagen jetta 2.5 and I have problems with my cars. 1) all my lights, except for the left side of headlight, are not working. All the lights went out at the same time. I changed the bulbs but still do not work. 2) since lights started to not work, I get seat belt warning signs and alarms even if I am wearing the seatbelts. 3) when I try to wash my front window with the wipers, window washier(liquid) would not come out.

Going down the interstate at 70mph beside a semi, the car slightly (not enough to take me out of my lane) pulls to the side & ding! Ding! Ding! 'ABS' & 'esp' lights come on & the emergency 'brake' light on the dash starts flashing. No additional symptoms that I noticed on the next 15miles to work, just the dash lights. Upon arriving at work I park & shut the car off. Restart it. And everything appears as thou it was an aberration. No lights. No dinging. From a car that goes nuts when you're simply just low on wiper-fluid, it could be something major like an ABS module or 'speed sensor' (from what 100s of other owners say online) or something 'minor' like a corroded fuse. Needless to say, while I'm wincing at the potential repair costs, I'm in fear of & dreading my drive home this evening. I'm glad no one was hurt this time but as we all know, the odds are someone is going to get hurt. Whatever is causing this problem for numerous vw owners is a safety issue. If ABS & traction control are mandatory features on a car via the federal safety agency, it stands to reason that rampant problems such as vw jetta owners are experiencing is a manufacturer's quality issue. It's not normal wear & tear. I actually trust the federal safety agency to do the right things here; find out what the problem is & make vw fix it. The only other option the federal safety agency has is to ignore a blatant problem with the ABS & traction stability controls of a mass production family sedan/vehicle.

2009 and possibly 2010 volkswagen jetta windshield wiper system stopped working when the brake was applied and only restarted when the brake pedal was released. Updated 02-26-2010. *bf updated ivoq 06/01/10 vehicle taken to dealer 4 times for corrective action and system is not repaired. Dealer told me that vw engineering stated that this is proper operation of the system and no repairs are needed. Dealers employees are aware of the safety hazard associated with lack of proper operation and state that they acknowledged the problem and that it is not in proper working order.

After driving in the rain and parking my car in light rain for about two and a half hours the front windshield wipers would not work when I started the car. I tinkered around with the levers and the rear wiper worked and the washer fluid worked, but not the front wipers. I checked the fuse indicated in the manual and it was not blown. I was forced to drive home in the rain without the use of my front wipers.
