I brought my car to the dealership not even 2 years ago. They said they fixed my ABS moduler and the EPC updated the software and replaced the ABS moduler if they did then why is my car shutting down and causing me trouble and having issues. I just need this car fixed the correct way. They didnt fix it due to the way they went about it. I need my car fix due to my 8 year old daughter I take yo school and also taking my fiance to PT due to a terrible accident. I need answer or someone to answer why my car is acting up if they fixed it.. Thank You Dawn

My car been fine and went to take my daughter to school and shut the car off and get back in to go home and wouldn't start and the Abs light came on and Check Engine light as well. I am concerned because I think since I have done the ABS no longer then 2 years. I feel like there is a problem and dont think VW fix it the first time when I took it in.. My fiance had a terrible accident 12 month ago and no income and I dont know how we are going to fix it if we have too thats what I am worried about as well.. Thank you, Dawn

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.

While driving at highway speeds of 65mph, instrument cluster indicated stop! oil pressure engine off! and car went into limp. Was able to maintain control of vehicle and pulled over to side of exit. Vehicle had to be towed from highway to repair shop. Diagnosed to be a failure in the hex drive bit from the balance shaft module to the oil pump. Also caused turbocharger failure due to lack of oil flow. Car has been maintained to required schedule and had no prior indications of imminent failure.

The cars check engine light came on and lost power on the freeway. I took it to get checked and a diagnostic was done. I had just gone to the dealership a week before and had the back brakes and rotors replaced for $500 dollars and the oil changed for another $100. They said everything was fine.

Had drove the car little while, then made a stop, cranked the car to leave and sounded like it was low on oil, that kind of. Tapping sound. Oil was fine. But the sound still there the next day. After driving it a mile or two. It got louder, then the check engine light came on. I stopped at the closest part store about 5 min after the light came on. They checked it with the scanner. Said it was a knock sensor code. P0328, bank 1.took it to VW. To get a diagnosits done. And the man said it was due to a recall. The problem I was hearing, and the code. Was from the recalled part. They changed that part. Said it was a fuse panel on engine block. The problem was still the same. Then, he said it was not due to the recall. And I still had to pay the 120 dollar for the diagnostic. And said they would have to open the engine to check any further, and that the labor would be about 2000 dollars. I had took it by VW before it started to have any noticeable problems.when I had happened to look up recalls online. The man looked it up by my VIN. Told me there were 3 active recalls. But it would be another week before they could get to it. I asked if it would be ok to continue driving it, was any of them serious enough to not. He told me, no, that it would be fine to drive. Said specially since I wasent having any problems already.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta wolfsburg 2.0tsi timing chain tensioner failure. At 109K miles the car would not start in the am to go to work. This happened on 12/23/16. Had car towed to dealer and received phone call from service department that the timing chain tensioner had failed. The engine will need between $3600 and $5500 to replace the engine components. I was told by the service tech to call VW customer care because this is a known issue and they may help with the repairs. VW told me they knew nothing about this problem. Got a second opinion from a mechanic that was previously employed by VW and he verified the diagnosis. The car is still sitting in my driveway without being repaired. I have since found that this is a very large issue that goes back to the 2008 model year. There are several class action lawsuits pertaining to this issue. One case filed in New Jersey in May 2016 has just had another hearing on May 9th 2017 where the supreme court of NJ has agreed to let the case go forward stating there is enough evidence showing VW at fault. I have documentation from the dealer and can provide that once I am back at my home. Any help the many consumers that own VW and Audi vehicles with the 2.0tsi engine from 2008-2013 can get would be greatly appreciated. Researching VW 2.0tsi timing tensioner on the internet will bring up the hundreds, if not more, of the people that have paid upwards of $10K to have engines repaired on cars that have as little as 30K miles on them. The VW service manual does not mention the timing chain tensioner needing service at a particular mileage.

First my car had trouble turning over after a misfire. Then while driving the car (in motion) as I was coming to a stop the engine began to sputter and feel as if it was lunging forward. I drove it straight to the VW service center which was nearby. Now they are telling me it is a timing issue which I suspect to be the timing chain tensioner.

- Venice, CA, USA

My 2009 Jetta has been experiencing issues. The ABS light, stability control light, brake light, and check engine light stay on. The car sputters from time to time. I took it to the dealer in my town for the Volkswagen recall on the ABS system. They supposedly fixed the ABS software and module. Then they tell me the ABS pump is bad but not covered under warranty. It will be $3000 to replace! they replaced the mass air intake, a $442 repair and the car is still missing. Check engine lights still on. Now epc light is on. Also, all of my ABS lights, check engine, stability control, and brake lights are still on. How do I know the dealer actually did the ABS repair" also, why is the ABS pump not part of the recall? it's difficult to believe that the software caused the ABS module to fail, but had nothing to do with the pump. This car seems to be a lemon. Are there any plans to address the ABS pump issue"

- Semmes, AL, USA

Car's ABS and brake system has been failing once a while causing car to lose control of stability. Random "engine workshop failure" many times while starting up the car and car performance gets very limited.

Wife went outside to start her tdi and after sitting and making no progress in warming and smelling a lot of un-burnt diesel she decided to shut it off. After she came inside and told me it was not warming up and it seemed to be running out of fuel very quickly I went outside to check it out. I could see that diesel had leaked onto the ground, so I opened the hood and fuel was dripping from the engine mounted fuel pump. I left it overnight at this point to make sure no fires where started. The next morning I took it apart to find out what the source of the leak and after removing the pump, associated electrical, and rubber lines I saw the end of the pump had popped out of its crimped aluminum case. This was allowing diesel to leak past the running electric pump and onto the running engine which at the point of turning it off had covered the entire serpentine side of the engine completely in fuel. It was a Bosch part #1K0 906 098A we have contacted VW about this and they offered no assistance in either offering to investigate the leak or expediting the buyback process to remove this vehicle from the roads and my driveway knowing that it leaked fuel. VW did acknowledge a prior recall on a rubber fuel supply line had been performed before the car was purchased.
