Out of the blue the premium 8 touch screen radio stopped working, no warning or intermittent problems, prior to the failure. I had a mechanic check the radio fuses and nothing was blown or needed repair. Everything was normal. This problem has occurred multiple times on vw forums. Even though this a major inconvenience it is still component, much like windshield wipers that ou just expect to work. Time in the vw forums. This needs to be placed/fixed. I never have had a radio fail in any previous car. I am really regreting my purchase of this sub-par, poorly enginered vehical.

Car was taken into dealership in april 2015 for inspection. Needed new struts and driver door panel, door needed fixed due to no lights on locks and door itself would not lock. Paid $1400 for everything when picking up the car, got in car and radio did not work when picking up. Said it was a fuse, never fixed the problem. September 2015 windshield wipers quit working. $45 for that repair. 2-3 weeks later battery died. Replaced the battery for $111. 3-4 weeks later battery was dead again, had to tow it to shop. Replaced battery again $200+ parts and labor. 3-4 weeks later after replacing the battery twice, same thing happens again. Car is dead, towed to shop again. Can't figure out the problem, towed to dealership. Taken to a dealership for one problem of the car being dead now there is a shifter problem and the ABS unit needs replaced. The ABS lights were not on while the car was at the last shop before this dealership. The car hasn't been driven for approximately 5-6 months if not longer due to these issues. How does my ABS unit need replaced if it hasn't been driven?

While driving the touchscreen radio turned off and will no longer turn back on. My phone remained connected to the blue tooth system, however, I was unable to use this function since it goes through the radio and car speakers. The next day, while driving in the rain, my wipers stopped working as well. These are major safety issues (the lack of handsfree for someone that commutes every day as well as a visibility issue when unable to use wipers in rain).

I got in to my car after work on saturday I turned on the car and no radio. I checked the fuses and they were fine. Yes, there wasn't one in the plug (18) but I put one in there to see if that would work for me and it did not. Then my windshield wipers were not working either. I turned the car off and back on and the wipers started working. It's rainy season here. So I hope they continue to work. . This morning I called the dealer and they said that my car was not covered under the extended warranty for the radio. Many other vw customers are having the same problem.

The driver side wiper blade on this jetta is scratching the glass leaving a streak in the drivers line of sight. The blades have been replaced and the windshield replaced only to have the new windshield scratched in the drivers view. This has been looked at by several dealerships with no fix available other than replacing the windshield every few hundred miles or driving with drivers view obstructed.

2010 vw jetta wolfsburg shut down while in operation on a highway while unable to get safely out of the way of traffic. Engine shut of and I was unable to restart the engine with the key. With the car in neutral and in park the engine would not turn over. I eventually removed the key and reinstalled it. At this point the engine turned over and started. Took the car to the vw dealer and it was determined that the ignition control module in the steering column was defective. However it was not a constant failure and the car could stop running at any time. Other defect was the wiper motor stopped operating at approximately 1800 miles. This was also replaced by the dealership.

New 2010 jetta se without rain sensor windshield wipers. The wiper speed decreases with the speed of the engine and does not consistently increase when the engine speed increases. When I slowed as I approached a yield sign in a driving rain, my windshield wipers slowed so much that I was unable to see out the windshield. As I accelerated, the speed did not return to the high level and I continued to be unable to see out the window. A repair was attempted, the wiper motor replaced, but no change has resulted. I am told by vw that this is the new design for the wipers and there is nothing to fix.
