2012 Volkswagen Jetta Other Problems

Your car stalled and wouldn't restart while driving uphill with about 1/4 tank of fuel remaining. A mechanic diagnosed a failed high-pressure fuel pump that scattered metal debris throughout your fuel system. The pump may have failed because it relies on fuel for lubrication, and running low on fuel can cause premature failure. Fixing this requires replacing the fuel pump and likely flushing or replacing fuel system components contaminated by the metal debris.

Your ignition switch stopped working, so you can't turn the key to start the engine. The key gets stuck in the ignition and won't turn. You'll need to replace the ignition switch and possibly get new keys made to get your car running again.

Your engine won't turn off when you try to shut it down, and the key gets stuck in the ignition. The dealer confirmed this is a known recurring issue that sometimes happens even after replacement parts are installed. You may need to pull the fuel pump fuse to stop the engine if the normal ignition switch method fails. The fix will likely involve replacing the ignition switch assembly or related electrical components.

Key stuck in ignition, can't turn off

The passenger mirror on my car was fine while I was driving to work and then when I went to change lanes I looked over in the mirror was black and had melted from it being a heated mirror I’m guessing but then I can’t see anything out of the mirror so it is a major safety issue but the mirror had melted and turned black thank you

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE 78 WEST BOUND FREEWAY, IT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD EXPLOSION. I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED AND SHATTERED. IT JUST BLEW UP WITH NO EXPLANATION, NOTHING HIT IT.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY OF 2019. SINCE THEN THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD WHEN SWITCHING INTO GEARS. I DROVE THIS CAR WHILE HAVING MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN THE CAR VERY VIOLENTLY SWITCHED IN AND OUT OF GEARS. IT WAS VERY SCARY! AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE TO IMPATIENT YO GET OFF THE NEAREST EXIT I NOTICED THE CAR'S SPEED STARTING DECLINE EVEN WHEN FOOT IS ON THE THROTTLE. I PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. I WAS SO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE I HAD THE CAR TOWED 100 MILES CLOSER TO HOME.

WHEN I GET GAS I CAN'T EVEN TURN THE CAR OFF OR WHEN I GO INTO A STORE IF MY SON ISN'T WITH. MY HUSBAND CANNOT DO IT EITHER. ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS.

KEYS GET STUCK IN IGNITION AND I CANNOT TURN OFF THE ENGINE.

I HAVE A "2012 VW JETTA SE 2.5L AUTO PZEV" THAT AT AROUND 90,110 MILES EXPERIENCED A SHIFT LEVER FAILURE ON 07/17/2019 AT AROUND 4:50 PM CST. THE PHYSICAL LOCKING MECHANISM OF THE SHIFT LEVER FAILED, AND IT WAS POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY SHIFT INTO DIFFERENT SELECTIONS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. I LUCKILY DIDN'T SHIFT INTO REVERSE BY ACCIDENT, JUST THE SPORT MODE (THIS MODE PREVIOUSLY REQUIRED THE HOLDING DOWN OF THE SHIFT LEVER BUTTON). AFTER THE FAILURE OF THE LOCKING MECHANISM, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLS ALSO NO LONGER PICK UP SHIFTING REQUESTS (EG. SHIFTING FROM "NEUTRAL" TO "DRIVE" USING THE LEVER WOULD STILL SHOW THE CAR AS IN NEUTRAL). HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE STILL DOES SHIFT USING A VERY SPECIFIC METHOD OF MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER ALL THE WAY TO THE "REVERSE" POSITION, AND THEN MOVING IT ALL THE WAY TO THE "SPORT" POSITION. WHEN THIS IS PERFORMED, I AM ABLE TO THEN SHIFT INTO "DRIVE" THEN "NEUTRAL, AND THEN EVENTUALLY "REVERSE". I AM NOT ABLE TO SHIFT INTO "PARK" AT ALL, AND I HAVE TO USE TO YELLOW SHIFT OVERRIDE TAB IN ORDER TO SHIFT INTO ANY OTHER GEARS (EG. "NEUTRAL" OR "DRIVE"). THE KEY IS ACTUALLY STUCK IN THE CAR AS A RESULT OF BEING UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK, SO I'VE HAD IT SITTING OVERNIGHT WITH THE KEY IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF PHOTOS OR VIDEOS ARE NEEDED. I CAN ALSO PROVIDE AND ELABORATE ON MORE INFORMATION IF NEEDED.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING EAST BOUND ON C470, IN ENGLEWOOD COLORADO, TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED BETWEEN 60-65 MPH WHEN AN EXTREMELY LOUD EXPLOSION OCCURRED. WE INITIALLY THOUGHT WE WERE BEING SHOT AT OR SOMETHING FELL OUT OF THE SKY. THERE WAS BROKEN GLASS EVERYWHERE, IN OUR HAIR AND EVEN MOUTHS. THANKFULLY, MY HUSBAND MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND INTO A PARKING LOT. UPON CLOSE INSPECTION, IT APPEARED THAT OUR RETRACTABLE SUNROOF (THAT WAS CLOSED) IMPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

THE SUNROOF LEAKS ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WHEN IT RAINS, CAUSING THE CAR TO HAVE FLOODING ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT SEAT AND BACK.

THE KEY IS OFTEN LOCKED IN THE IGNITION WITH NO WAY OF REMOVING IT.

VEHICLE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHILE STARTING AND SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME SOMEONE ELSE OTHER THAN I, THE OWNER ATTEMPTS TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO WIGGLE THE KEY A CERTAIN WAY TO TURN IT OFF. AT THIS POINT EVEN SO CANNOT TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND HAD TO LEAVE IT RUNNING EVEN WHILE PUMPING GAS. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REVIEWS ON THIS SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY VOLKSWAGEN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY STILL RUNNING AND MY HANDS ARE SCRATCHED FROM ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE. FIX THIS.

KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION. RECEIVED A LETTER FOR AN "EXTENDED" WARRANTY ON THE ISSUE BUT WHILE I WAS UNDER 10 YEARS OLD, MY CAR WAS OVER THE ALLOTTED MILEAGE. I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A $700 ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MANY OF THEIR CARS DURING THESE YEARS.

I AM NOW HAVING TO REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE BUYING IT CERTIFIED USED 2 YEARS AGO FROM HERZOG& MEIER. THE PROBLEM IS THE KEY IS STUCK IN ON, THE ONLY WAY TO KILL THE CAR OR TURN OFF IS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP AND VW KNOW ABOUT BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED. RESEARCH HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM.. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL....

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME ON LANCASTER ST IN PLATTEVILLE WISOCINSIN AND WENT TO TURN MY CAR OFF. I COULD NOT TURN THE KEY BACKWARDS TO SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. MY CAR RAN FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS WHILE I CALLED AROUND TO MECHANICS AND DEALERSHIPS TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO COULD HELP ME. THE VW DEALERSHIP IN DUBUQUE IOWA THAT I CALLED TOLD ME THAT HE HAS HEARD THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO HELP ME. HE TOLD ME I COULD TRY BREAKING THE KEY. HOWEVER THAT MADE NO SENSE BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD STILL BE RUNNING, I WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY TO GET THE KEY OUT, REPLACE WHATEVER IS WRONG WITH IT, AND BUY A NEW VERY EXPENSIVE KEY. MY CAR IS NOW SITTING AT A MECHANIC IN BENTON WISCONSIN WITH THE KEY STILL STUCK IN THE IGNITION.. I'M SURE HE UNHOOKED THE BATTERY SO THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF. NOW I AM OUT A VEHICLE FOR 4-5 DAYS WITH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND SO WHO KNOWS HOW SERIOUS THIS IS OR HOW SOON IT CAN BE FIXED. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE OR SOME FEEDBACK. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT L, I JUST BOUGHT MYSELF THIS CAR A YEAR AGO. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF AT THE GAS STATION SO THAT I COULD PUT GAS IN THE CAR. AFTER FIGHTING WITH THE KEY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR IT FINALLY CAME OUT. NOW EVERY TIME I NEED TO SHUT OFF THE CAR I HAVE TO FLICK THE KEY REALLY HARD THE OPPOSITE WAY TO BE ABLE TO PULL IT OUT. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE IT SEEMS MANY OTHER JETTA OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE YET VW HAS NOT MADE A RECALL. WE ARE BEING TOLD A NEW PART FOR THE IGNITION AND KEYS WILL NEED TO BE ORDERED. TOTAL COST AT THE DEALER WILL BE AROUND $680.

THE KEY CONTINUED TO GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND IT WAS ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE KEY TO START THE ENGINE. AT ONE POINT, THE KEY WAS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED AND COULD NOT TURN THE CAR OFF WHILE MY DAUGHTER HAD IT. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO VW DEALERSHIP AND THE IGNITION HOUSING HAD TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY, THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRENT PROBLEM.

MY HORN DOES NOT MAKE A SOUND WHEN I PRESS ON IT HOWEVER WHEN I LOCK THE CAR THE HORN SOUNDS OFF. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH A CAR HORN

DOOR LOCKS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING EVERY FEW SECONDS THIS IS THE FOURTH DOOR LOCK ON OUR VEHICLE TO DO THIS AND ONE NOT UNLOCKING FROM 20000 MILES TO 85000 MILES.

MY 2012 JETTA SPORTSWAGEN TDI IS HAVING WATER FREEZING IN THE INTERCOOLER CAUSING IT TO NOT START OR EVEN SMOKE WHEN STARTED. I HAD A 14 WITHOUT THIS ISSUE MY DAD HAS AM 04 PASSAT TDI NO ISSUE. I DID RESEARCH AND ON MANY WEBSITES IT MENTIONS 10-13 HAVING THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE'S AN AFTER MARKER PART THAT FIXES THE FREEZING ISSUE. THIS PART WILL COST OVER 700 DOLLARS. WHY WAS THIS NOT RECALLED WHEN IT'S HAPPENING TO MANY YEARS AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES.

WHEN PARKED AND TRYING TO SHUT VEHICLE OFF, THE CAR WILL NOT SHUT OFF AND THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION.

MY KEY KEEPS GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION. IT WON'T TURN AT ALL. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND EVEN THEY HAD TROUBLE TURNING IF OFF. THEN THEY COULDN'T TURN IT BACK ON. LUCKILY I HAD JUST GOTTEN HOME FROM WORK, SO I WASN'T STUCK ANYWHERE. APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE, AND IT'S QUITE RIDICULOUS THAT I'M NOW GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND $500 TO REPLACE A PART THAT VW SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. MY CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I ARRIVE AT A DESTINATION, I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN TRY TO REMOVE THE KEY AND IT WON'T COME OUT. I HAVE TO JIGGLE THE KEY AND MANEUVER IT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES UNTIL IT COMES OUT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING.

THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER BROKE UNDER NORMAL USE CONDITIONS - FAILED TO RESET FROM "ON" POSITION WITH SIGNAL OPERATIONAL / UNABLE TO TURN OFF SIGNAL - HEADLIGHT HIGH/LOW-BEAM FUNCTION ALSO DISABLED. APPARENT INTERNAL PART FAILURE OR BREAKAGE OF PLASTIC COMPONENTS.

SOMETIMES THE KEY WILL NOT TURN ON. IT GOES IN, BUT WILL NOT TURN. IT SEEMS TO BE WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARMER. ALSO, SOMETIMES IT TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO TURN THE KEY OFF. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, I JUST SIT THERE TRYING, WHILE THE CAR CONTINUES TO RUN. I HEAR IT'S $550-750 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED, BUT IS VERY COMMON BASED ON WHAT I'M FINDING ONLINE. IT STARTED HAPPENING IN APRIL 2014. IT'S RIDICULOUS.

WHEN TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, THE KEY REMAINS IN THE ON POSITION, NOT ALLOWING ME TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND REMOVE THE KEY. THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 100 TIMES, THE LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT THEIR ISSUE AND WILL COST ME $550 TO REPLACE.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF THE ENGINE.

WHILE IN PARK MY KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULD NOT COME OUT. CAR WAS ON AND I TRIED TO TURN IT OFF AND REMOVE THE KEY AS NORMAL BUT IT WOULD NOT TURN FULLY TO THE OFF POSITION OR COME OUT. I EVENTUALLY STALLED MY CAR OUT AS IT IS A MANUAL TO SHUT IT OFF AND FIDDLED WITH IT FOR AN HOUR AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE KEY OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES.

THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE "ON" POSITION IN THE IGNITION WITH THE CAR RUNNING. THE KEY WILL NOT PHYSICALLY MOVE FROM THE "ON" TO "OFF" POSITION TO TURN THE CAR OFF. AFTER LOOKING THIS UP IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VW. THE CAR IS ABLE TO SHIFT BETWEEN PARK, DRIVE, AND NEUTRAL. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF THE KEY DOESN'T BUDGE

KEYS ALWAYS STOCK ON IGNITION. IT HAS 49,000 MILES IT SHOULDNT BREAK ALREADY.

KEY JAMMED IN THE IGNITION, UNABLE TO TURN CAR OFF. INITIALLY IT WAS JUST DIFFICULT TO SWITCH OFF AND REQUIRED SOME TIME TO GET IT JUST RIGHT. EVENTUALLY IT LOCKED UP ENTIRELY AND THE KEY BROKE OFF WHILE TRYING TO SWITCH THE CAR OFF. HAD A VW DEALER REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER, NEW KEY ETC. EVEN THE DEALER SAID THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE. CONTACTED VW CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEIR RESPONSE "IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY". CAR HAS 59 000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD EVER FAIL.

KEY STUCK IN IGNITION CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF CANNOT TURN OFF WHEN CAR IS IN PARK EMERGENCE BRAKE IS ENGAGED AND FOOT IS ON BRAKE PEDAL

AFTER OPENING THE TRUNK ON DRIVE WAY, THE TRUNK LID FELL FREELY AND HIT MY WIFE'S FOREHEAD (VERY CLOSE TO HER EYES).

AFTER DRIVING AND ARRIVING AT DESTINATION, CANNOT TURN THE CAR OFF, NOR GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 15 MINUTES OF TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AND TRYING TO TURN THE KEY OVER AND OVER WHEN THE KEY WILL FINALLY TURN AND THE CAR WILL TURN OFF. THEY KEY FEELS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF.

STARTING AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 40K MILES, MY HORN BECAME INTERMITTENT. IT WOULD WORK FINE FOR A WHILE, THEN COMPLETELY STOP FOR A PERIOD; SOMETIMES A WEEK OR SO. BUT AS TIME PROGRESSED, IT WAS NOT WORKING MORE THAN WORKING. BY 50K MILES IT NOT LONGER WORKED AND NOW AT 60K IT HASN'T WORKED FOR A LONG TIME. VERY DANGEROUS. DEALER SAID TWICE THEY WOULD TRY TO GET IT FIXED BUT NEVER CAME THROUGH. SO WITH MY DIESEL "GOOD WILL" PACKAGE, I WILL USE THE $500 CREDIT TO REPLACE MY HORN THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED EARLIER. LOT'S OF PEOPLE ONLINE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK IT'S PART OF THE 2011 RECALL FOR HORN AND ALARM SYSTEM PROBLEMS, DON'T THINK THEY CARRIED THROUGH WITH THE PROBLEM.

THE HORN FAILED TWICE IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP (LATE 2012) AND A THIRD TIME A LITTLE AFTER THREE YEARS. THE FIRST TIME, THE HORN SYSTEM WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY WITH A PART FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER, IT WENT OUT. THE SECOND TIME THE HORN RELAY WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY USING NEW PARTS. THIS HORN FIX WORKED FOR 2013-LATE 2015. THIS THIRD TIME MOST LIKELY WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL (AND LESS THAN A MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY). IN ALL INSTANCES, THE HORN BEGINS TO PRODUCE A MUTED/WEAK HONKING SOUND MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN LOCKING THE VEHICLE. THIS WILL HAPPEN FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR SO BEFORE IT FINALLY GOES OUT. PRESSING THE KEY (LOCKING & EMERGENCY ALERT BUTTON) OR THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL CONFIRMS THAT THE HORN IS INOPERABLE.

MY IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER HAS FAILED ON MY 2012 VW JETTA. LONG STORY SHORT, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "TURNING THE WHEEL TO UNLOCK IT". IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE VOLKSWAGENS. I FELT UNSAFE BECAUSE IF I EVER HAD TO SHUT MY CAR DOWN IN AN EMERGENCY, SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE. SO I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER ISSUE, AND NOW THEY WON'T FIX MY CAR UNTIL I GET THIS IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER FIXED. IT COSTS $650 AND I HAVE TO WAIT 7-10 DAYS TO GET THE PART FLOWN IN FROM GERMANY. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY NO QUESTIONS ASKED, I DON'T FEEL SAFE BEING IN THE CAR IF I CAN'T TURN IT OFF.
