Persistent problem with driver's side rear door lock - cannot alwayslock/unlock door with fob. Also sometimes all doors would lock when you exited the car, other times it would not. Sometimes the fob would unlock all doors other times only the driver side door. A child was secured in the back in a car seat and the fob sould not unlock the door so I could get the child out - had to use the door on the other side of the car. Dealer replaced the door locking mechanism on the rear door. Same problem re-developed on driver side front door at 70,000 miles - again dealer replaced door lock mechanism on that door.

We have owned this 2010 jetta sportwagen tdi since brand new. Today 1/28/14 is the fourth time we have had to replace the lock mechanism on one of the doors. Part numbers 3b4-839-016-ap (left rear), 3b1-837-016-cg (right front) and 3b4-839-015-ap (right rear) have all been replaced at least once. Right rear latch has been replaced twice - only once under warranty. In looking on the federal safety agency web site there are 8 other reports of problems with latches in the 2010 jetta. This is a serious safety concern because most of the reports (including mine) were for doors that would not unlock and doors that would not open no matter what the reporting party tried. Can you imagine if these latches failed in an accident and children sitting in the rear seats were trapped?

Remote control door locks. Since I purchased my 2010 vw jetta tdi as a new vehicle, the remote control key has randomly not functioned properly to unlock the doors or trunk. The problem is not due to rfi. It can always be immediately corrected by using the manual key to unlock the vehicle, which seems to reset the locking system and allows the remote key to unlock the doors or trunk remotely. I have brought this to the attention of the dealer at every visit. The dealer has looked into it, been unable to replicate the problem, has reprogrammed the locks. It continues to be a random problem that I myself can't predict or replicate on demand, but want others to know about this annoyance.

I tried opening rear door and it would not unlock. Managed to unlock door from inside vehicle. Now the door lock mechanism on rear driver side door does not work at all. Door is forever unlocked. This seems to be a common problem in vw vehicles. Concerned that child may open door even with child safety switch engaged/activated.

Doors unlock with the keyless entry so I have to manually open the door from the inside- this seems like it is a safety hazard to me. I had three of the four door latches replaced (2 under warranty & 1 I had to pay for) and now the fourth door needs to be replaced. I will have to pay to get it replaced. It seems like this is a known problem why isn't the manufacture paying for it?
