Motor was replaced at 104,714 miles due to knock in engine. Got car after motor replacement and car is doing same exact thing with less than 5000 miles on new motor. Codes that are appearing are oil pressure switch and power train computer issues.
2014 Volkswagen Jetta electrical complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 94, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle prior to the vehicle losing motive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the timing chain and alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 82,000.
Every single light on the dash is turned on even though there's no problem, and the speedometer meter doesn't move. I got the issue fixed by an independent mechanic who said the computer only needed to be reset, but the vw dealership insists that I still have a big issue that can effect the usage of my brakes, airbags, everything, and wants to charge me $3500 for a non-problem. Since the sensors are all on, I don't know when to fill up oil or gas, and I won't be alerted if I have a flat tire or there's an issue with the engine. They also mentioned that since the sensors are dead it may not deploy my airbag system. I've been told it's not worth fixing, my car only has 49,537 miles and is in good condition; this is absurd.
I had 38c4 recall fixed on my car on 1/14/20. Prior to that I did some electronic issues fixed. Recently I parked my car and it would not go in reverse. I got out of parking spot and was able to drive fwd. I was on my way back to work with my coworkers and my car just suddenly died. I restarted it and it went a small way further and died again. I had it towed to galpin vw, in west hills, ca. They said the computer read that it needs a new gearbox. I believe my vehicle has been part of a couple recalls but hasn't been flagged. One of the recalls ended with production date 10/2013 and mine was manufactured 11/2013. That might have been 34f6/4v. Not sure. My car died before the fix for 38c4 also. I was on a busy street and could have got myself and my coworkers killed. I tried to speak with vw customer care, with jennifer who said after speaking with superiors there was nothing she could do. My car only has about 62,000 miles. I need help with this.
When the vehicle downshifts to lower gears the engine stutters and eventually stalls out
Crank car cut off like im out of gas... Wiring is bad powertrain as well due to code p0341 sensor
In the following, lb/hb is low beam, high beam: ' the dashboard indicator for hb is always on, even when the steering column lever is on lb and lights are really lb. ' the turn signal dashboard light blinks fast -- like there is a burnt-out bulb -- but they actually flash fine. ' when the steering column lever is set to hb, all lights on the driver side are dead; or, the hb bulb doesn't light at all and the lb bulb goes faint. ' when I turn the lights off when the engine is running, they stay on ' say I'm driving at night all everything is fine. I turn the car off; when I start it up again seconds later, the lights are messed up finally, the lights usually stay either working or are messed up while driving, but once in a while, they will go from working to messed up or vice versa while driving. But I work at night and live only one mile from my job, so I have not had this car on the road at night for any significant length of time. The most common scenario is that the car has sat for hours; I start it, and the lights are either messed up or working fine, and they stay that way until the car is turned off and started again.
Epc warning light came on suddenly; vehicle throttled down and continued to buck and stall out; loss of power and speed. Very dangerous while in traffic. No specific diagnostic code(s) were saved or triggered. This causes costly and unneeded diagnostics and repairs
My car is not registering a key and vw doesn't seem to care.
I been trying to get my sticker since last year ....I haven't been able to cause of the re call. I been driving expires tags....am annoy already with this recall t the dealer should had told me since tha begging...my car keeping losing oil and and. Can I just get a refund
April 13th,2020 I took my car in to the local vw dealership to have it looked at. Road testing produced nothing, but p1732 and p173d codes were found. The service department called the vw tech line and vw indicated that a new transmission was the only option. My cost would be $9236.14. Afterwards, I stopped at the local independent german auto repair shop to have my paperwork looked at. This shop indicated that this was a new transmission design, intended for the hybrid, and that it was full of bugs. I was informed that vw knew about the issue and created a software bandage to fix it. The fix was not a permanent solution, rather to prolong the life of the car instead of vw fixing the issue under warranty. This shop also indicated that normal service done to cars would show a potential problem, but vw indicated to clear the code and not tell customers. Transmission I am not sure the exact date that the transmission issues began, but I do know that it was after march 27th, 2020. I know this because I worked all day for news america marketing and there were no issues with the car. On the day that the issue began, I had been using e-mode frequently and I noticed that the car was running hotter than normal. I stopped using e- mode. Currently the car is drivable. The check engine light does not come on regularly. When there is a problem, only odd gears are available. Gears 2,4,6, and reverse are not available. When the check engine light comes on, the car will immediately downshift to an odd gear. For example, 4th gear to 3rd. This results in the car slowing down quickly due to the high RPM. If the car is in 2nd, shifting to 1st causes the car to come to a stop over a short distance.
Hi I bought my car 2017 I didnt know about the recall until october.... Its says it's on fixable so I cant get my registration or sticker I want a refund or a new car r if I could get a response right away cause mytags or expierd
My jetta began having issues starting once driven. It progressed to stalling while idling and at traffic lights. It further progressed to stalling while driving, slowing for turns ect. The emc relay was replaced by mechanic. Apparently this is a common problem that needs to be recalled by volkswagen
Car ignition stopped working well after some months of purchased. Now, car ignition is hard and takes several times for starting the car. It's is dangerous in an emergency occasion that I don't have my car ready.
While driving on the overpass the car cutoff almost hit from behind by a dump truck would not crank back up for 7 minutes. Airbag light on show malfunction of airbag
My vehicle; for months now, has either not started up right away or shut off while driving through city streets and a major freeway. While driving the car loses power but the battery has power. Power steering becomes lost and I have to push the vehicle off the road or freeway. The vehicle has a rough idol when this occurs and becomes unsafe to handle and carefully remove from a busy road.I have taken it in to vw service multiple times and thet cannot fix it. No code comes up on their diagnostic computer and no check engine dash lights illuminate. This issue seems as though it is impossible to fix by the dealership who sold it to me, and self diagnosing is out of my league.
After exiting the freeway and got to the overpass I had to stop, after a accelerated the engine shut down, lost all electrical power except for the radio, fortunately after the overpass was a downgrade so the car was able to coast to safety on to the shoulder. This has not been the first incident where the vehicle has lost complete power while driving in city streets. This is my wife's car, she had complained to me of the car not starting after she gotten off work, we tried to jump started it and it still would not start, so it had to wait till I got off from work. Soon as I got to the vehicle after my shift, I tried to crank start it and the vehicle started with out hesitation. While driving in the city street, after making a stop the vehicle engine shut off, I was unaware since the radio was still playing, so my wife pointed out this had been happening to her as well, even after we replaced the battery. So I took the vehicle to my mechanic and he mentioned that this could be an alternator problem, so we replaced the alternator as well, but the vehicle continues to shut down or it just won't start. I decided to check the wiring to the battery and to the distributor and after doing this the vehicle will start up again. Last episode was on 11/15/2019 as I exited the freeway on my way to work. When I got home I remembered that my wife had handed me a couple of latters from the vw dealer witch we had omitted since we bought the vehicle used in a car lot. This is how I found out that these letters where notices of the recalls on this particular vehicle. I shared this with a friend that claims he also had the same problem with a vw vehicle he owned, he explained that the problem in his unknown vw model, the electrical wiring was at fault. I'm scheduled to bring the vehicle in for a recall for the key column, witch is not associated to the problem according to vw rep.
Dealer issued keys are impossible to turn when attempting to turn off engine in stationary/park position. Have to flick key forward causing a power surge to shut the engine off. Process is getting worse, now fuel light is on stating that my fuel sensor is broken. Car has lost power when accelerating as well. This is all connected to the power surge needed to shut the car off. Dealership states, there has not been a recall for this type of issue, it will cost me upwards to $1000 to fix ignition cylinder. It looks like it's one of the only issues with this vehicle and is known by the dealerships. Dealership only advises to purchase new vehicle with "push to start." this will be our first and last vw.
Key gets stuck in ignition when turning off the engine.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 volkswagen jetta. The contact stated that the vehicle rolled away after it was shifted into park. The failure recurred in august of 2019. Also, while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle began to hesitate and multiple warning indicators flashed. The vehicle was taken to burke volkswagen (located at 519 stone harbor blvd, cape may court house, nj 08210, (609) 465-6000) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v615000 (electrical system, steering). The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and stated that the part was not available for the repair. The failure mileage was 57,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
The car's ignition is very difficult to turn on and off. It usually takes a few minutes to jiggle the key the right way to get the car to turn off, and then another few minutes and a forceful yank to get it out. Turning the ignition on can also be difficult, as the key doesn't want to turn in the cylinder and you have to really force it to turn. You can't leave the car to get help because then it could be easily stolen. This needs to be recalled asap.
Vehicle ignition switch sticks. Sometimes it is hard to turn on other times it is very difficult to turn off. Condition is getting worse.
Excessive stalling at intersections, almost hit when making a right turn because the car stalled. Restart the car and works fine, but is getting more frequent.
2014 vw jetta car key is getting stuck in the key ignition. Problem started around only at 50,000 miles. Right now, around 55,900 miles, the problem happens every single time the car key gets inserted into the key ignition. The key ignition turning mechanism no longer feels smooth when trying to start or turn off the car. The worst part comes when trying to turn off the car. It is very difficult to turn off the car as the key gets stuck in the ignition. Steering wheel needs to be wiggled/(turned in the left and right motion) while trying to get the car key pulled off from the ignition. This is very concerning for the owners of 2014 vw jetta. As I did some research on this topic, I have found out that this has been an ongoing problem for vw cars. And yet vw customer care does not try to acknowledge this issue and only thing that they tell me is that there is no extended warranty coverage on the 2014 models. I have read online that there is an extended warranty for the key ignition on 2012/2013 vw jetta. There should be an extended warranty for the model year 2014 jetta as well because the parts are exactly the same as 2012/2013 and 2014. I do not understand why vw is ignoring this issue for 2014 vw jetta. For the sake of public safety, vw needs to acknowledge this ongoing issue and vw needs to provide a recall or at least extended warranty for all the cars with this well known issue. Vw customer care region manager is extremely slow in responding to this issue. It's been a week and still, there is no answer on whether they will fix this issue or not. All she says is that there is no extended warranty on the year 2014 models rather than giving any apology. No compassion from vw at all. Very disappointed with the whole vw customer care regarding how they handle this issue.
The door locks just click continuously, which means the drivers door is never locked. This is a safety hazard as anyone can get in the vehicle while driving
While driving the vehicle, it starts to stall or have stalled while slowing down or sitting in rush hour traffic; or while stopped at a red light. The dealer stated the code was p0011 and the camshaft position sensor needed to be replaced. The part was about $75 and the labor just under $400. The check engine light came back on within 2 days and the issue started again. Now the dealer stated code p0011 again, and also code p0016 crank shaft position correlation which is the timing belt he stated. He also quoted a price over $3000 to have the work completed. I asked if this was the problem all along and the p0011 was misdiagnosed the last time since you have the same code again. Was the old position sensor bad or not. He could not answer. I told him I can't keep spending money if you can't grantee a fix. I don't want to come back in a few weeks with the same code, but the price keeps going up. Also, that stated they completed a recall update to the ECM software. I told them I was surprised as I had checked the federal safety agency and it stated 0 incomplete recalls. I know this as I researched the p0011 issue several weeks ago, and someone mentioned in a post to check for this update. This appears to be a common issue as many people on this site have similar complaints to my own, with the 2014 vw jetta: https://www.carcomplaints.com/volkswagen/jetta/2014/engine/engine_dies_stalls_while_driving.shtml I can't afford to keep paying for possible fixes. I need for vw to work on my vehicle and complete the repairs and make sure it's what is needed to resolve this issue. Also, I've noticed that since this issue has started, the car is burning fuel at an incredible rate; going from a half a tank to a quarter tank in a 12 mile trip to work and 12 miles back home, without any other stops. I would think 24 miles round trip in traffic would burn maybe 2 gallons, but not a quarter tank of gas.
After having the car for a year, the injector coil pack malfunction. The car would sputter and slow down speed while driving and would stop. I went through 3 replacements. When the car is idle, the car shakes or like it is stressing itself to work hard being idle. The key ignition is now giving problems. The car will not recognize the key and will not turn on. If you hold the key at a certain angle it will turn on but it is hard to take the key out of ignition.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 volkswagen jetta. The contact stated that the ignition switch was malfunctioning. The contact had to wiggle the key in order to turn the engine off. The contact stated that the key fractured and became stuck in the ignition switch. The dealer (leesburg volkswagen, 9105 us-441, leesburg, fl 34788, (352) 815-2465) acknowledged the failure and stated that there were no recalls. The contact had an independent mechanic come to his home to remove the key and repair the ignition switch. The manufacturer acknowledged the contact's concern, but still wanted to charge him for the repairs. The failure mileage was 90,127.
Ignition locked and locked the steering wheel as well. Cannot get car started
Headlights stopped working on dim. Then tailights went out. We've had the car 2 1/2 years and this is second time the headlights have went out like this. When the headlights went out, the bluetooth also wasn't working the way it had previously. Also, the windows will sometimes not respond properly. They will go the opposite way that I am directing it to do. (push for up and it goes down, for example). These incidences happen both when vehicle is moving and stationary.
