| 2009 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | I CONTACTED VW MID-AUGUST 2011 BECAUSE MY CAR BROKE DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND THEN I COULD SMELL GAS. I HAD IT TOWED TO VW AND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH A LEAK IN THE FUEL RAIL. ALL FOUR FUEL INJECTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED, AS WELL AS THE GASKETS, FUEL RAIL, AND SPARK PLUGS. THIS REPAIR COST ME APPROXIMATELY $1,100.00. I HAVE ENCLOSED A COPY OF MY BILL SHOWING THE REPAIRS DONE AND TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS. WHEN I CONTACTED VW IN MID-AUGUST I WAS INFORMED BY THEM THAT THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE JETTA FUEL INJECTORS AND THAT IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT THAT I HAVE THE A LEMON OF THE BUNCH. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS WITH ALL VW PERSONAL I HAVE SPOKEN WITH. I NOW ENCLOSE THE RECENT ARTICLES ABOUT THE FUEL INJECTOR PROBLEMS WITH THE VW VEHICLES. FOR SOME REASON THIS RECALL ONLY INCLUDES THE DIESEL ENGINES-WHICH CLEARLY SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. I AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS REPAIR AS IT IS RELATED TO THE SAME PROBLEMS VW IS HAVING WITH THE DIESEL-ENGINES PER THE ENCLOSED VW ARTICLE ON RECALLS. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *KB |
| 2012 | POWER TRAIN | LEAVING WORK I HAD STARTED MY CAR LET THE CAR IDLE DOWN PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT SLAMMED INTO GEAR AFTER TAKING OFF THE CAR SHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR AND NO HIGHER AFTER NOTICING THIS I PULLED OVER PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS AND IT CONTINUED TO SLAM INTO DRIVE AND REVERSE SO I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP AT THAT POINT THE MIL WAS ON AND THE SERVICE WRENCH WAS LIGHT UP. CALLED ME DEALERSHIP THEY HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP UPON THEIR DIAGNOSES THEY SAID IT COULD BE A WIRING ISSUE POSSIBLE A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE ISSUE UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE HAD BEEN WARRANTIED PREVIOUSLY (AS I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR). *TR |
