2017 Volkswagen Jetta Other Problems

Your parked car caught fire spontaneously while unoccupied, causing total destruction. The fire started with no prior warning signs after the car had been parked for at least 5 hours and was not running. Firefighters indicated the fire resulted from a manufacturer defect. The repair would require a complete engine and electrical system inspection to identify the root cause of the fire.

Your horn has stopped working, which means you can't warn other drivers of potential hazards. Additionally, your infotainment touchscreen is difficult to use hands-free because you can't reliably select options on it. The fix will likely involve diagnosing the horn electrical circuit and potentially replacing the horn or its relay, along with possibly addressing touchscreen responsiveness issues.

Per pep boys: Coolant housing on rear of engine has hole in it causing severe coolant leak cooling system has had stop leak added to coolant system possibly clogging heater core, radiator, possible coolant passages in engine block Dealership did a patch job prior to purchase, has been with them for 60 days.

WHEN I PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND PUSHED ON GAS THE CAR WOULD NOT GO IT SOUNDED AS IF THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF THE CAR LITERALLY HAD LOST ALL POWER TO IT I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND THE EPC LIGHT WAS ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD MY BABY WITH ME THAT JUST HAD SURGERY DAY BEFORE AND I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. I GAVE IT A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR OF WHICH AT FIRST SOUNDED AS IF IT WASN'T GOING TO START. I WAS ONLY A COUPLE MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE AND HAD NO RESOURCES TO HELP AND COULDNT WALK WITH MY SON. GOT THE CAR BACK TO THE HOUSE BUT IT AGAIN DID THE SAME THING AND CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME WITH SOUNDING LIKE IT DID NOT WANT TO START. I HAD TALKED WITH A MECHANIC THAT SAID TO GET IT INTO A VW DEALER ASAP AS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH THIS NEW OF A CAR WITH SUCH LOW MILES. FINDING THIS SITE IT LOOKS AS IF THERE HAS BEEN A FEW ISSUES THAT SOUND SIMILIAR AND RECALLS. I JUST NEED A CAR THAT I CAN DRIVE.

Many fault lamps lite up on panel. List: Brake light, Adaptive cruise control, ASC, Power steering lamp, Seat belt lamp and sometimes the seat belt alarm goes off when seat belt is clicked IN!,ABS,Air bag lamp is intermittent,EPC lamp is intermittent. Problems have been confirmed by: Independent auto repair center and Vista VW of Pompano Beach, FL. As far as safety sometimes the engine goes into limp mode during driving a few minutes after starting. Having to pull over quickly to get out of the flow of traffic. To stop the engine after a few minutes it does restart.

My check engine line came on; code P05A0. A scan showed that it is my active radiator shutter assembly that is causing the error. My car only has 26K miles, and it seems strange that it would be having an issue. When I took my car to the dealership, the service rep told me it is a very common issue. It is also going to cost around $900 to repair. My car is perfectly drivable (the service rep confirmed it), but I won't be able to pass emissions in AZ with my check engine light being on. The shutters remain open at all times. I can hear it open and close and reopen sometimes when I start my car or while I'm driving, but it will always remain open. My dealership is so backed up that I'd have to leave my car for several days before they could even get to it. I do not have the time or money to do the work, so I didn't leave it for it to be repaired. I have found others on VW forums that have gotten the same error message at about the same mileage I am at. Your organization released a technical bulletin for this issue for 15-16 Jettas, and I appreciate it if you could look to see if the issue continued through the 17 models.

Car won't start. I have had to call AAA every other day because my car is not starting. It won't start unless I drive it every day. One month after buying the car I was having trouble with it starting. Purchased a new battery,in2020.Drivetime should be investigated for taking advantage of a senior citizen.having had cars in the past I have never had anything like this VW Jetta.It was not because of the weather either.

REMOVING THE KEY WHILE THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN A POSITION OTHER THAN "PARK" INCREASES THE RISK OF AN UNINTENDED VEHICLE ROLLAWAY THAT MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR A CRASH. I ASKED AFTER I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL. I CALLED RECENTLY AND WAS TOLD MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS A DAILY DANGEROUS FAILURE ON VW'S PART. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND WHEN CALLED THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. I DID NOT GET ANY RECALL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUE.

PROBLEMS WITH FRONT ASSIST. I WAS TOLD THIS FEATURE WAS ON MY VEHICLE AND VERIFIED THAT IT WAS AT THE TIME OF SALE. UNFORTUNATELY IT DOES NOT EVER DETECT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I COULD BE IDLING AND HIT A BRICK WALL OR GOING 65MPH DOWN I95 AND A VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPS IN FRONT OF ME EITHER EVENT NOTHING HAPPENS. THIS SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED AND THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE FRONT ASSIST SYSTEM IS ENABLED EVERY TIME I START THE VEHICLE. THE FACT THAT THIS SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK AT ALL IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AS IT WAS A MAJOR SELLING POINT OF THE CAR

THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WAS NO IMPACT BY DEBRI OR COLLISION... IT JUST EXPLODED SUDDENDLY. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IT IS ALARMING WHILE DRIVING, SHATTERED GLASS FLYING AT YOU IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER, THE PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD!

PURCHASED NEW 2017 VW JETTA FROM THE DEALER. ALWAYS KEEP UP WITH THE SERVICE. ALARM HORN HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY WORKING AND FINALLY WENT OUT AT 43000 MILES. AFTER READING MANY MESSAGE BOARDS SEEMS LIKE AN ONGOING ISSUE ON MANY NEW MODELS WITH LOW MILES.

CAR STARTS TO SHAKE EPC LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON HAVE TO PULL OVER FOR IT TO STOP SHAKING

I HAVE IDENTIFIED A MATTER RELATED TO THE REAR VIEW CAM WHICH MERITS ATTENTION. I CONTACTED VW DIRECTLY AS WELL AS MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND NEITHER FELT THAT FURTHER ACTION WAS WARRANTED. SINCE THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE IT SEEMED THAT THE NEXT STEP WOULD BE CONTACTING THIS AGENCY. BECAUSE OF A GLITCH IN THE REAR CAM SOFTWARE I NARROWLY AVOIDED TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS; IN ONE THERE WAS A CLOSE CALL WITH A VEHICLE PASSING BEHIND ME AND IN ANOTHER A NEIGHBORHOOD CHILD WAS RIDING A BICYCLE DIRECTLY BEHIND THE VEHICLE. AT ISSUE IS THE FACT THAT THE REAR VIEW CAM DISPLAY WILL STOP TRANSMITTING IMAGES IF YOU BRAKE WHILE BACKING UP, TURN ON THE RADIO AND THEN RESUME BACKING UP. TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM FOLLOW THESE STEPS: 1.START VEHICLE 2.SHIFT INTO REVERSE ' REAR VIEW CAM IMAGE SEEN IN DISPLAY VIEW 3.APPLY BRAKE UNTIL VEHICLE AT A FULL STOP 4.TURN ON RADIO 5.RADIO STATIONS APPEAR IN THE DISPLAY VIEW 6.TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE AND CONTINUE BACKING UP 7.RADIO STATION CONTINUES IN THE DISPLAY VIEW AND NOT THE IMAGE BEHIND THE VEHICLE HERE IS A VIDEO DEMONSTRATING THE GLITCH: HTTPS://DRIVE.GOOGLE.COM/FILE/D/13GAC4I5GKWNOFK6Z8J8Y77JGUDXHQRBI/VIEW?USP=SHARING SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED AND WANT TO INVESTIGATE ' AND FIND A REMEDY FOR - THIS APPARENT SOFTWARE GLITCH.

PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES, VEHICLE BEGAN TO PULL TO RIGHT UPON ACCECLERATION. (TURBO ENGINE.) TOOK TO ALL 3 DEALERSHIPS IN THE LAS VEGAS/HENDERSON AREA MULTIPLE TIMES. PUT FOUR NEW MICHELEN TIRES ON IN NOVEMBER, 2018. THE PULL REMAINED CONSISTANT AND IS GETTING WORSE. DEALERSHIPS DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AND DOCUMENTED AS "TORQUE STEER; A DESIGN CHARACTERIST OF TRANSVERSE MOUNTED ENGINE AND TRANS AXLE." AFTER CONDUCTING MY OWN RESEARCH, I DETERMINED "TORQUE STEER" IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. FROM THE WORDS OF A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, "TORQUE STEER IS DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF ONE OR MORE SPRINGS LOCATED IN THE TRANS AXEL AND MAY LEAD TO A SEVER SAFETY PROBLEM AS IT GETS WORSE." AT ONE DEALERSHIP, WHILE WAITING FOR MY CAR, I DROVE, WITH THE MECHANIC, A LIKE KIND 2016 JETTA. IT PULLED TO THE RIGHT ALL THE TIME. I WAS TOLD BY ONE OF MY BUSSINESS CLIENTS HER 2014 TURBO JETTA PULLED TO THE RIGHT ALL THE TIME. IN NOVEMBER OF 2018, I RETAINED A "LEMON LAW" ATTORNEY. THE ATTORNEY WOULD NOT TAKE THE CASE UNTIL THEIR FIRM CONCLUDED THERE WAS SUFFICIANT DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY TOOK THE CASE AND THE OUTCOME IS STILL PENDING. AFTER 6+ MONTHS, I HAVE NOW CONCLUDED MY CAR IS NOT A "LEMON" AND BELIEVE ALL LIKE KIND JETTA'S WILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE NHTSA SHOULD CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION TO DETERMINE IF THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED. MY VEHICLE PULLS UPON ACCELERATION ON ANY CITY STREET, FREEWAY OR HIGHWAY 100%.
