Filed Mar 29, 2021 · Fuel system, Transmission · 65,000 miles · TX

About 2 days after having my fuel injectors replaced due to a total loss of power while driving/in conjunction with misfiring, I got the hybrid light. It was in a residential area. I noticed RPM's and charge levels were fluctuating along prior to loss of power. Total loss of power again. Shut off vehicle. Waited a minute. Turned vehicle back on then continued driving. Had one additional loss of power but the hybrid light didn't come on. The transmission indicator showed a wrench instead of "d" the check engine light illuminated and the vehicle failed to move forward despite hearing the engine rev.

The check engine light came on at the same time that the car began to slip or hesitate especially in low gears or when accelerating. Our 18 year old daughter was driving to work when the vehicle went from operational to this condition. Shortly after, the epc indicator came on and the car slipping became more of a jolt, car unable to accelerate and it felt very much like it would stall. We were able to safety get it to the dealer for service where we were provided with a 30,000 mile check up (car has 24k miles) and were told it was just an electrical issue, needed a reset. Engine light came back on as I left the dealership, with the same jolting and hesitation. Upon second visit to the service department, I was informed that the there was a crack in the ignition coil, causing misfire of the spark plugs.

Transmission started lagging in my manual 2013 vw jetta s when accelerating after switching into second gear from first gear. After a couple of days the engine seized up and all of the lights came on. Luckily, was just on my way to the dealership for repair and was right around the corner. First repair was 11/2/2013. This happened again 5 days later on 11/7/2013. Got it fixed, started driving home and the problem kicked in again. Had to bring it in on 11/8/2013 for the same repair in less than 12 hours (3rd time in less than a week). The ignition coil was misfiring and the spark plugs kept needing to be replaced. All was well in good until august 26, 2014 when the same problem happened. A week later, the problem came back but now it's more on and off. Will be taking it in again for the same issue for the 5th time now.

The jetta was being test driven by qtm from voa with passenger rick nelson, service manager of bob baker volkswagen vw when getting on the 5 freeway on the las floras on ramp when the car shifted between 3rd and 4th gear the engine missed. The qtm comments on the miss and states that he doesn't think it triggered a full misfire, but then inquired to rick nelson about the tsb that lisa has regarding misfire, tsb 01-13-14. Qtm also experienced and acknowledged loss of power and throttle response at approximately 60 MPH while he was driving north on the 5 freeway. The qtm and rick nelson agree to open a vta and the qtm states that he will take it over and put his notes in it. These are the issues that I continue to experience with the car and why I brought the car in for service. The odd thing is that the service invoice generated and given to me stated that there were no issues found during the test drive. The statements on the service invoice are fraudulent and in direct conflict with the statements made by the qtm and service manager during the test drive. I continue to experience the car missing while in sport mode and loss of throttle response while in drive.. The status of the vta and its contents are under investigation. As far as the reputation of the qtm from voa and the dealership and its service department at bob baker vw, I think their fraudulent statements on my service invoice speak for themselves. .

I have had multiple experiences as outlined in complaint id 10535696. I have an open case with vw corp, case number 130565794. I have asked for the federal safety agency service bulletin 100552336, service to be performed on my car, as I continue to have near accident misses due to the misfire (which happens when the AC is on) and the non-responsive gas petal (when the AC is off). Vw corp is trying not to acknowledge your service bulletin and refuses to perform the service to my car. They stated that they are not aware of the contents of the service bulletin. I have informed them and have documented on my service invoice the service bulletin number and my complaint number. So if they were not aware before, they are now, but still deny me the service outlined in your service bulletin id 100552336. They have had my car in their possession since the 23rd, this is my second visit and I now have a case open with vw corp (see case number above). I continue to be unable to safely maneuver the vehicle in emergency and non-emergency driving situations.
