general problems of the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta

There is vacuum pump defect, mechanical engine mounting brackets, breaks, hoses/pumps, windshield fluid mounted houses near windshield (fluid sprays through these houses on to the windshield) and key ignition interlock. Please call Audi for the full description of defective parts and required maintenance. Was driving vehicle heard a loud pop or breaking noise and the vehicle would not operate stiffening the steering wheel. Auto was stolen and came back with loud screeching noise. Unknown.

Airbag/seatbelt light came on randomly while car was occupied and in park. No accidents.

The airbag driver is no woks. . The air bag is on check all time.

While driving the vehicle at approximately 65 mph the driver seat started to move forward on its own towards the steering wheel in which I was unable to control the driver seat it would not reversenearly causing a serious accident. I also noticed that the vehicle horn no longer works due to some sort ofelectrical issue. The issue took place while I was driving on a major highway.

The passenger air bag seat belt light came on , I paid $1,110. 00 , to have it repaired. In less than a week the driver side did the same thing. I need help, please.

The contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta tdi. The contact stated that the air bag warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the wiring harness needed to be modified. The failure mileage was 103,300 and a few months later the air bag warning lamp came back on. The dealer charged $125. 00 and may need seat air bag, about $750. 00.

Turned the key on and the airbag fault light illuminated and stays on I've tried to reset it but it will not reset. I have read on many forums and this seems like a very common issue. It should be looked at further cause it is happening in a lot of vehicles.

Purchased the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta in August 2014 with 116,000 miles. One month later the horn was not working. Upon doing an internet search, discovered an inordinate number of complaints that these horns become inoperable even with fewer miles. The problem comes when pressing the horn pad on the steering wheel, it does not make contact to sound the horn. The airbag assembly is located here as well so I don't feel it's safe to try to replace it myself. The quote to have this repaired was $900. 00. Volkswagen should issue a recall on this part immediately!.

At 130,623 miles our Jetta had to have the camshaft and lifters replaced. The lobes on the camshaft had completely worn off and the lifters had pitted. I feel like our diesel motor has aged prematurely and there is an underlying problem that vw is ignoring. This is a common problem for this model and year. We are having both replaced, but until the root of the problem is found there will be an issue again. Vw must know of this problem. They stopped production of the tdi Jetta in 2006. The 2006 was the last year before stopping production. Why would they stop making a car that was in such high demand with the rising cost of diesel and gas. They knew of an issue in the car that they couldn't figure out. Now they ignore the problem and continue to blame the customer for poor maintenance. The car is defective and vw needs to address the problem.

About 4 years ago ,I took my Jetta to the Volkswagen dealer in regard to front airbags recall. The light would not go off. They repaired it, but after a year the light came back on and stayed on. When I call the dealer, I was told I would have to pay for an inspection of the car before they can determine if it is defective or not. It seems to me they did not fix the problem and I should not have to pay for it. Also my horn want off, one day, and the only way I was able to stop it , was to pull the fuse out. When I put the fuse back , the horn would not work. Nothing wrong with the fuse. . My yellow engine light keep coming on , especially when I use my a/c and there is a very strange smell in the car. I only have 55000 miles on this car. And to top it all, while driving the car, I got a icon lighting up in regard to my coolant. The little black tube that connects to the reservoir had slipped off and all the antifreeze fell out of it onto the engine. Owning a Volkswagen is a real nightmare, had Honda before, put over 130000 miles on it and never had any problem. Will definitely never buy Volkswagen again and will not recommend it. To anyone.

The contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta tdi. The contact stated that the air bag warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the wiring harness and air bags needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 64,000 and the current mileage was 74,000.

While my daughter going home in 2006 Jetta vw, hit by a car from behind and was dragged into another car in front. All car in accident except ours (jetta 2006) deployed the airbag. As our car got most hit in front and back non of the airbags was deployed. My daughter was taken to er by metro ems for injuries.

Air bag default- to many times since I purchased my vehicle back in September of 2006. I have taken my car in 6 times on 11/06, 1/07, 9/08, 10/08, 12/08 and 7/09. 5 times to vw of hayward and 1 time to modesto vw. I feel my life is always at risk not knowing if my airbags will work if I am in a car accident.

I have a 2006 vw Jetta tdi with approximately 70,000 miles on it. This auto was purchased to be used primarily as a commuter car for my wife and I. Last week we suddenly started seeing the dashboard warning "air bag fault". Upon taking it to the local vwoa dealership to have this investigated we were informed that there was a vwoa technical bulletin (that evidently had been out for some time) which indicated that some connector(s) located under the driver's seat that are related to the air bag system would need to be replaced. This is not a maintenance item nor anything that we could have caused but vwoa is indicating that due to the auto not being within the warranty (4 year and/or 50,000 miles as we've been told) that we will now have to pay approximately $400 to have this repaired. We were further informed by the vwoa service that without this repair the airbag system was considered to be in an "unstable state" and could potentially not activate the airbag when needed or possibly activate at an inappropriate time. The vw dealer also said that vwoa considers this to be so unsafe that they issue a free rental and require the repair to be made before releasing the auto again. . . . But only if you're under warranty. Vwoa did manage to come through with some "good will assistance" (their words) by providing $200 towards the repair. This airbag issue has been a known issue with the 2006 vw Jetta (maybe other years as well I'm not sure) for some time. Vwoa indicates that this issue is not a major concern and is therefore no recall has been issued. I have read several complaints on NHTSA and other sites that seem to indicate that this is a larger issue than vwoa states. I think a recall should be issued due to the obvious safety concerns involved with the airbag system. Hopefully there will be before any injuries and/or fatalities occur.

This is the second time the seatbelt light has come on and stayed on. The first time vwoa repaired wiring under my seat at 49,000 miles. The light is now on again, less than one year later and they will not repair it under warranty because I have more than 12,000 mile since repair. This is a problem that should be covered regardless of time. Safety is the priority and if vwoa has a safety defect they need to stand behind it.

The manufacturer of my vehicle and the dealer have informed me that my Volkswagen tdi's wiring harness was crushed due to a foreign object underneath the seat. Although I am contesting that the object is mine, I do think it is of concern that the wiring harness is not secured or protected in any way, and any objects that slide underneath the seat may crush this harness and may possibly render the airbag system useless.
