2009 Volkswagen Jetta Other Problems

Your car's ABS (anti-lock braking) module may be malfunctioning, which could affect your braking system's ability to prevent wheel lockup during hard stops and may impact forward collision avoidance features that depend on brake control. This is a safety-critical component that should be diagnosed and repaired by a mechanic as soon as possible. The fix will likely involve testing, repairing, or replacing the ABS module itself.

You purchased this vehicle with an unknown accident history. Damage reports indicate the right side of the car sustained significant impact, with documented repairs to the bumper, hood, radiator, grille, and fender. Before driving, have a mechanic inspect the front-end damage to ensure the radiator, cooling system, and structural integrity are safe.

The car had an ignition problem. I could not turn the car off using the key. For many years it is had a problem of not always being able to easily start the car with the key. But time time I could not turn the car off without pulling a fuse. Obvious safety issues if a car won't turn off and basically useless vehicle. It had not been inspected by others, but online I found this problem is not uncommon. There where no warning messages of the problem prior to failure. As mentioned before, for years it has been difficult to turn on. First time I could not turn it off.

I was driving in Clio alabama on state highway 10, when all of a sudden the EPC light came on my 2009 Volkswagen jetta s 2.5 5cyl..... about 2 miles later down the road; the engine cuts off unexpectedly while I am going 62mph down the highway, with an 18 wheeler directly behind me at the same speed. The car just quits, won't do anything, so I swerved over the side the road so I wouldn't get hit by the 18wheeler and tried to restart the car and it wouldn't do anything. I've had to tow it back to my home and I've had multiple mechanics look at it and try to discover the problem but every time they hook up a diagnostic scanner , and it throws a code, I've purchased the parts that shouldve fixed said dtc code, and rescan the car and that fault code will be gone but there'll be a new one each and every time. . It is costing too much to continue to fix it . It will turn over but it will NOT crank up. I don't know what else to do about it but something is just not right about this issue so I am reporting it as a safety issue because the total loss of power near about caused me to get hit by an 18wheeler at very high speeds and could've been killed. And it's also some type of an electrical issue and I am reporting it to hopefully obtain an answer to the issue, help repairing it or replacing it, or Volkswagen to repurchase the car from me and most importantly I'm reporting this so hopefully it will be able to save someone's life one day . Thanks a lot and have a great day .

WAS TRYING TO GET THE ABS RECALL FIXED TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE VW FOR THE RECALL THEY GAVE ME A QUOTE OF 1543.37 TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE AND SAID IT WASN'T COVERED. SO I CALLED THEIR 1 800 NUMBER AND THEY BASICALLY SAID THE SAME THING. BUT WHEN I READ YOUR REMEDY IT SAYS TO HELP CORRECT THIS DEFECT, YOUR AUTHORIZED VOLKSWAGEN DEALER WILL UPDATE THE ABS CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE WITH IMPROVED DIAGNOSTIC CAPABILITY TO DETECT INSUFFICIENT PCU GROUND CONNECTION. ABS MODULES WITH INSUFFICIENT GROUND CONNECTIONS WILL BE REPLACED. THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WILL TAKE LESS THAN AN HOUR TO COMPLETE; IF THE ABS MODULE REQUIRES REPLACEMENT, THIS WORK CAN TAKE UP TO A FULL DAY TO COMPLETE. THE RECALL REPAIR WILL BE PERFORMED FOR YOU FREE OF CHARGE. AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PART SO THAT THEY CAN UPDATE IT PLEASE HELP

HI YES I AM CONCERNED IN REGARDS I HAD A CALL FOR A RECALL ON MY JETTA 2009. NHTSA CALLED ME TO SET UP AND APPOINTMENT. I DID EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE RECALL. WHEN THE RECALL WAS FINISH I THOUGHT MY WORK WAS ON THE MANUFACTURING AND WAS TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP. LONG STORY SHORT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE LABOR AND THE PARTS FOR A RECALL ON MY 2009 JETTA VOLKSWAGEN..

I PURCHASED A 2009 VW JETTA GLI 4 DOOR CAR AND LESS THAN 1 DAY LATER THE EPC, ABS LIGHTS CAME ON AND MANY OF THE GAUGES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY (SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, ETC.) THE SENSORS WERE FIXED AND THE USED DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE CAR HAS HAD IT OFF AND ON, IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FIXING THOSE THINGS, SAID THE ABS MODULE NEEDED REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS ON THE RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT AND THAT THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP WOULD FIX IT FREE OF CHARGE. THE VW DEALERSHIP TOLD MY HUSBAND AND I TODAY THAT THE CODE DIDN'T MATCH TO REPLACE THE ABS MODULE. I LOOKED THE VEHICLE UP IN THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE RECALL BY VIN # AND FOUND IT. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE DAY 1. IT IS NOT SAFE AS THE CAR HAS DECELERATED IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC, BRAKES FAILING AND NOT WORKING PROPERLY IN TRAFFIC AND IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE NURSES AND WE TAKE SAFETY OF OURSELVES, FAMILIES, AND OTHERS VERY SERIOUSLY. WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION AND/OR HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE US. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. ENGINE LOCK AND HOUSING CYLINDER MALFUNCTION IS REGULARLY PREVENTING KEY FROM TURNING OFF THE IGNITION.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR LOCK DOES NOT WORK. IT DOESN'T WORK MANUALLY OR WITH THE KEY FOB. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN AND THEY CANNOT EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR. ALSO, THE INABILITY TO LOCK THE REAR DOOR IS ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. DOES IT TAKE AN ACTUAL VEHICLE FATALITY FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE DEALT WITH?

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY PRDNS LIGHTS WERE IN RED LIT UP AT THE SAME TIME.NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF WARNING IT IS, HOWEVER IT CANNOT BE GOOD..

I JUST BOUGHT THIS 2009 VOLKSAWAGEN JETTA THIS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16TH 2019, THE CAR HAS A NONSTOP BEEPING NOISE AS SOON AS THE KEY GOES IN THE IGNITION (NOT THE OPEN DOOR BEEP EITHER) AND THE ABS, BRAKE, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON IN THE DASHBOARD. THE BEEP IS NONSTOP AND VERY FRUSTRATING AND STARTS EVERY TIME THE KEY GOES IN. I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR CHEAP THINKING THIS WOULD BE AN EASY FIX.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

KEY WILL NOT TURN TO START THE CAR '. ( I SEARCH ONLINE AND THERE MANY ' MANY... MANY ISSUES WITH THE 2006 TO 2012 VW JETTAS. THERE ALSO MANY... MANY... MANY CASES ONLINE ABOUT CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF DO TO THE KEY NO TURNING ) CALL THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN DELAERS AND HAVE MANY ISSUES WITH SAME PROBLEM. KEYS GETTING STUCK OR NOT TURNING TO START OR TO SHUT OFF THE CAR, THEY WILL NEED TO COMPLETE RUN OF THE GAS OR UNPLUG THE BATTERY TO SAFE TURN OFF THE CAR.

KEY WILL NOT REMOVE FROM THE IGNITION . CAR WILL NOT CUT OFF. KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION. TRIED MOVING THE STEERING WHEEL AND MOVING GEARS TO PLACE BACK IN PARK. I HAD TO REMOVE FUSE 15 AND REMOVE BATTERY CABLE TO SHUT CAR OFF. KEY IS STILL IN THE IGNITION .TERRIBLE INCONVENIENCE

IGNITION KEY WAS HARD GETTING IT TO TURN ON FINALLY GOT IT TO TURN ON AND THEN WHEN I GOT HOME IT WOULDN'T TURN OFF TOOK ME 45 MINUTES TO FINALLY TURN IT OFF

THE HEADLINER ADHESIVE FOR THE VEHICLE HAS COME UNGLUED AND IS CAUSING THE FABRIC TO SAG AND PREVENT A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT. THIS IS A LATENT SAFETY DEFECT. FROM A REASONABLE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THAT MANY JETTA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, INDICATING A COMMON MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THE ADHESIVE THAT WAS USED IS THE SAME AS THE ADHESIVE USED ON THE REMAINDER OF THE INTERIOR PANELS WHICH ARE ALSO COMING OFF.

MY KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE CAR WAS IN PARK; HOWEVER, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT TURN BACK TO THE OFF POSITION. IT WOULD ONLY TURN FORWARD. MY CAR RAN FOR 4 HOURS UNTIL MY HUSBAND CAME HOME FROM WORK. HE HAD TO REMOVE THE FUEL PUMP FUSE AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE CAR CONTINUED TO RUN AFTER HE DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT THEY CAN REMOVE THE KEY AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM; HOWEVER, I AM READING ON THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VOLKSWAGEN. UNFORTUNATELY VW WON'T ISSUE A RECALL UNLESS ENOUGH CUSTOMERS COMPLAIN.

STARTER WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN OFF VEHICLE OR TAKE KEY OUT.

I GOT THE 2009 VW JETTA ON 8/2017 AT A USED CAR LOT I WENT ON WEBSITE VW SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT FOR A OIL CHANGE CHECK VIN # ON RECALL BY THEN IT COME UP RECALL CALLED THE NUMBER WEBSITE GAVE ME

ABS RECALL - I JUST RECEIVED MY RECALL FOR THE JETTA STATING THE ABOVE PROBLEM AND REMEDY. BUT I DON'T THE ONE PARAGRAPH IN MY LETTER ABOVE STATING "PLEASE BE AWARE THAT OTHER CONDITIONS (UNRELATED TO THE ISSUE DESCRIBED IN THIS LETTER) MAY CAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT IN YOUR VEHICLE TO ILLUMINATE. CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO COVER DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE OTHER, UNRELATED CONDITIONS"....REALLY! ARE YOU FKM! I'M SUPPOSED TO TRUST THEM WHEN THEY TELL ME...."WERE SORRY SIR, BUT YOUR PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL AND THE REPAIR WILL COST YOU $650.00, THANK YOU" HAHA, VOLKSWAGEN IS JUST TRYING TO RECOUP THE MONEY THEY LOST TO THE TDI SCAM. NEVER SEEN SUCH A MISCHIEVOUS RECALL IN MY LIFE! I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS NOW, RAIN OR SNOW. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT SEAMS OK

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK CAUSING THE VEHICLE DOORS TO REMAIN LOCKED OR UNLOCKED WITHOUT REPAIR AT $400 PER DOOR. IF DOOR IS STUCK IN LOCKED POSITION, PASSENGERS CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. IF STUCK IN UNLOCKED POSITION, VEHICLE CAN NOT BE LOCKED AND UNINVITED PASSENGERS CAN ENTER THE VEHICLE. BOTH ARE SAFETY HAZARDS. ISSUE OCCURS REGARDLESS IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

IGNITION KEY TUMBLER WILL NOT TURN. CANNOT START VEHICLE AND OTHER TIMES THE ENGINE CANNOT BE TURNED OFF. ONLY BUY LUCK WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY TURN VEHICLE OFF. NO OTHER OPTION AVAILABLE TO SHUT DOWN VEHICLE ENGINE IF THIS PROBLEM EXPERIENCED.

RANDOMLY, MOST OF THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE OR MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT, BRAKE SYSTEM, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL OR ESP, AIRBAG FAULT, APPEAR WHILE I AM USING A BRAKE FOR RED LIGHT AND DRIVING ON ANY KINDS OF ROADS. THEN I FEEL THE WHEEL AS HEAVIER THAN USUAL, THE PAST (CANNOT TURN SMOOTHLY LIKE BEFORE). I JUST PURCHASED THE USED VEHICLE ON DECEMBER 16, 2015. THE CARDEALER, AUTONATION, SOLD THE CAR BY ADVERTISING THAT'S WELL MAINTENANCED AND ALL CHECKED. HOWEVER, WITHIN6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE, THOSE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS CAME UP ON THE DISPLAY. AUTONATION SUGGESTED ME TO GO TO WOLLSWAGEN DEALER. THE MECHANIC AT THE LOCAL VOLKSWAGEN DEALER GAVE ME AN ESTIMATES FOR THE REPAIR AROUND 2,000 USD SAYING THAT ABS SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BY A NEW ONE. I ASKED A HELP TO AUTONATION, BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT'S WHY VOLKSWAGEN CAR IS KNOWN AS A RISKY CHOISE. THE DEALER APPOLOZIED ME SAYING THAT HE CANNOT HELP ME. IS THERE ANY WAY TO RETURN THE CAR TO AUTONATION OR TO GET MY CAR REPAIRED BY AUTONATION?

VW JETTA 2009 STALLS AND ENGINES DIES WHILE DRIVING. LOST ABILITY TO STEER VEHICLE - ABLE TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. CAR TOWED TO VW DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. CONCERNED IF THIS HAPPENS ON MAJOR ROAD AND LOSS OF STEERING COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENT.
