Takata recall -the vehicle.
My abs light has been on and I don't know how to get it to turn off. My traction control light has been on and don't know how to get it off. I have bought a new coil pack and spark plugs and spark plug wires and now my check engine has came back on. Please help me with this car. Thanks. God bless u.
Beware of this used car - it needs serious mechanical work. I test drove it and realized that the transmission slips, the timing chain rattles, and the a/c did not work.
From the time I bought the vehicle it has been stuttering while idle. I have replaced the mass airflow sensor, master sensor, several hoses and connectors and parts of the engine. Now it stops while I'm waiting at red lights.
I own a 2001 vw Jetta GLS vr6. Since I have owned this car I have had problems with it. I am a young woman in the military and am in full time school, so I don't have the money to run around and fix it as much as I have been forced to do. First my gas gauge went out three months after buying it $600(under warranty) then a month later O2 sensor $300(non warranty). Then it was the catalytic converter$1500(non warranty) wiring system$1000(of course non warranty) windows wont roll up without rolling down again and sometimes get stuck$700(non warranty) cruise control went out$845 (non warranty), windshield wiper motor. . . Stationed in alaska and couldn't go without that $750(non warranty) now my secondary air pump is out and I was quoted $1294 from private mechanic and $1400 from vw. Also the cruise is still out and the windows are doing the same again. I have talked to many people in the same boat I have been in with so many repairs. Is there anything that can be done to stop vw from making faulty parts and charging an arm and a leg? I feel though that if it is brought up to you that my voice will be heard, because when I call the volkwagen customer service and complaints I get nowhere.
The failure was that the loose spark plug widened the combustion chamber and that caused the loud vibration in the engine. It also affected the function of the braking system, too. So, I was told by the riverside vw dealership that the whole chamber has to be replaced at the cost of $5,400. The riverside dealership made a contact with new century dealership in glendale, CA and they did the tune-up on April 5, 2004. It was clearly the mechanic who did not screw the spark plug tightly. It was the human error on the part of the dealership. I could not use the car due to this unnecessary error that could be preventable. I have been taking my Jetta to all the vw dealerships to do maintenance services and repairs, as well. My feeling is that they should replace the part where the spark plugs are at no cost due to careless error.
The contact owns a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming oil excessively. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 12,000 and the current mileage was 79,295.
Replacement of coil pack on my 2001 Jetta glx. The consumer requested reimbursement. There were also electrical problems.
