2006 Volkswagen Jetta Other Problems

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION AND I CANNOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE

TAKATA RECALL IGNITION SWITCH WAS LOCKED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEN TURNING KEY IT WOULDN'T TURN. CAR WAS IN PARK AND FOOT ON BRAKES AND TURN OF THE STIRRING WHEEL DIDN'T GET IT TO TURN. HAD TO GET TOWED AND THE FULL IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED.

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A SUPERMARKET PARKING LOT. RETURNED TO MY CAR AND THE CAR WASN'T MOVEABLE, THE BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL AND ACCELERATOR WERE LOCKED. I HAD STARTER REPLACED BY A MECHANIC WHICH WAS A TEMPORARY FIX. LAST DIAGNOSTIC WAS BRAKE VACUUM PUMP AND GASKET HAVE TO BE REPLACED

VW JETTA TDI 2.5L 2006 - PLASTIC ENGINE COVER TAPPED A HOLE INTO FUEL RAIL. DIESEL FUEL LEAKED ALL OVER ENGINE AND ENGINE STARTED SMOKING. FIRE WAS IMMANENT HAD I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. LOST FUEL ON ROAD AND GROUND. VW CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE SAYS MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW A RECALL FOR THIS BUT THE LEAK ISSUE IS POSTED ALL OVER INTERNET AND TDI FORUM SITES AND YOUTUBE. VW SHOULD RECALL THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. HOLE LOOKS LIKE A LESION OR A SORE THAT HIS BEEN RUBBED BY THE PLASTIC COVER ON THE WEAK METAL TUBE FUEL RAIL. NOW, NEW JETTAS ARE MADE WITH RUBBER FUEL TUBES. THEY HAVE DEFINITELY KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR MANY YEARS (SINCE 2007 AT LEAST).

TRANSMISSION GET STUCK IN 4TH GEAR WHILE DRIVING.

THERE IS A DEFECT ON THE HEADLINER THAT THE FABRIC WILL START FALLING OFF AND SAGGING AND THE CAR WAS MADE IN 2006 IT SHOULDN'T FALL OFF FOR AWHILE LONGER AND IT STARTED SAGGING AND IT'S DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH IT FALLING DOWN CUZ I CAN'T SEE AS WELL TO TURN IN A DIFFERENT LANE AND IT WAS GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS STARTING TO SAG BUT IT CUT OFF MY VISION TO SEE WHEN TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND I CUT SOMEONE OFF CAUSE I DIDN'T SEE THEM AND I ALMOST GOT IN A WRECK

I OWN A 2006 VW JETTA...2-3(UNDER WARRANTY) YEARS OR SO AFTER BUYING THIS CAR NEW I HAD TO HAVE THE HEADLINER & RADIO REPLACED DUE TO RUBBER USED IN MANUFACTURING OF THIS VEHICLE MELTED CAUSING FABRIC TO COME DOWN & BUTTONS ON RADIO TO MELT. TODAY MARCH 24, 2015 W/44,000 MILES ON MY CAR I DISCOVERED THAT RUBBER USED TO GLUE VINYL MATERIAL TO INSIDE DOOR PANELS HAD ALSO CAUSED MATERIAL TO COME DOWN DUE TO MELTING. AS I WRITE THIS TO YOU MY CAR IS BEING REPAIRED AT THE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $550.00. I WOULD LOVE TO CONTINUE PURCHASING VW'S BECAUSE I LOVE THEM BUT THIS EXPERIENCE TO SAY NOTHING OF THE COST & INCONVENIENCE HAS MADE ME QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VW IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS COMPLAINT AND IF I DO NOT HEAR FROM VW I WILL POST THIS COMPLAINT ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, GEAR INDICATOR, ODOMETER, RADIO, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, COMPASS, MPG, SPEED MONITOR AND CONTROLS ALL THE LIGHTING FEATURES ON CAR HAS FAILED. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER I DEAL WITH HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN MANY OF THESE CLUSTERS FAIL IN 2005,06 JETTA'S AND PASSAT'S. THE COST TO REPLACE IS $650+ I FEEL THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT VW DOES NOT WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW ABOUT. I CAN'T READ MY ODOMETER OR EVEN READ WHAT GEAR I AM IN. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. CAN YOU HELP WITH THIS. I FEEL SORRY FOR ALL THE OTHER VW OWNERS THAT HAVE A FAILED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *TT
