Door locks stopped working for my vw jetta s 2.5 l. When I press the car key to lock the door, it gives sound that everything is locked. One day to my horror, I saw someone opening my car at night. I immediately rang alarm, went to my car and checked every door to find that they are not getting locked. No manual locks for this vehicle too. This really questions the safety of the vehicle. I took it to vw service. They told that mechanical part of latch failed. They told that since mechanical and electrical parts come together both were replaced at a cost of 670 bucks. That's too much for a single door.

I am truly not sure. It is going into the shop tomorrow. Although, I just purchased it used, and when I park it on a hill. It makes this odd sound as if the body is going to fall apart? I smell a burning metal smell as well. It was parked on a hill so it was stationary, just not sure what it is. I know it is used but I only had it for 1 month!

The headliner was separating from the inside roof of the car. It was starting to hang down. Also the interior door panel was coming apart and starting to disintegrate. Both had to be replaced. Volkswagon said out of warranty and they can do,nothing despite multiple online complaints of same issue.

Water infiltration: there was a class action suit won against vw for water infiltration for model years through 2009, which filed before this vehicle was manufactured. Mine is a 2010, but manufactured in 2009. I now have the exact same problem, but haven't found any evidence a new class action suit was brought or that the company has voluntarily recalled the vehicles for correction. This problem has resulted in my car taking in enough water to create a 2" deep puddle where the front driver and passenger put their legs. While I thought I had extracted all water and dried out the car, I returned 3 weeks later to find the interior completely covered with mold/mildew, which creates a health hazard for most, and particularly me since I have allergies to some molds. The vehicle is now pretty much a total loss, and is valued at $8000 - which a retiree such as myself cannot afford to lose. My auto insurance does not cover this loss. The court case is: john dewey, jacqueline delguercio, et al v. Volkswagen of america, inc. Et al. Case nos. 07-cv-2249-fsh-ps and 07-cv-2361-fsh-ps (consolidated)) the final decision was in 2014, john dewey, jacqueline delguercio, et al v. Volkswagen of america, inc. Et al. Case nos. 07-cv-2249-fsh-ps and 07-cv-2361-fsh-ps (consolidated)).

"takata recall" I was driving on scott street, when another driver ran the red light on the intersection and hit my car on the passenger side towards the back passenger door, and the airbag didn't deploy. I informed vw, they did a diagnostic text on my car and their findings was that the airbag did what it was supposed to do. I didn't take it any further.

Sunroof drains come apart allowing water to enter automobile. Wet interior allows mold to grow inside car causing a possible health hazard. Windows steam up blocking view out of car causing dangerous driving conditions. Water drips onto electrical connectors and moisture present in car causes corroding of electrical connections increasing the possibility of an electrical malfunction and hazardous driving condition.

The sunroof drainage system is faulty and leaks inside the car. Dealership charged me $350 to fix (not to mention that now the car smells musty) and suggested that other vw owners with my model of car have had similar problems. I am concerned that vw did not design the system properly and should fund any modifications necessary for existing car owners.

I am having a similar issue with my vehicle as in the federal safety agency id numbers 10660948, 10664166, 10662515 and 10633219. All four of my vehicle's door locking mechanisms have failed. As a result, the doors cannot be opened from the outside of the vehicle. This could be a safety issue in the event of an accident or the need to quickly evacuate a passenger from the vehicle.

Right rear door will not open from the outside or inside. Now the left front door wont open or close from inside or outside and dealer indicates the door locks have failed and will need replaced at $475/door. The right front door has now started to not open sporadically. This has to be a manufacturer defect when 3 of the 4 door handles/locking mechanisms have now failed. This is a safety issue when you cannot enter or exit out of 3 doors of a car due to faulty locking mechanisms.
