general problems of the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta

There has been tampering done to my vehicle how do I assure safety and have it investigated and have a repair man look over the vehicle after the theft? ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

There are some mounting brackets, suspension brackets, nuts and bolts associated to the operation of the vehicle that have broke more than once please contact me and I will give u further detail. 9077649969.

Vw Jetta tdi 2. 5l 2006 - plastic engine cover tapped a hole into fuel rail. Diesel fuel leaked all over engine and engine started smoking. Fire was immanent had I continued to drive. Lost fuel on road and ground. Vw customer service line says my VIN does not show a recall for this but the leak issue is posted all over internet and tdi forum sites and youtube. Vw should recall this before someone gets hurt. Hole looks like a lesion or a sore that his been rubbed by the plastic cover on the weak metal tube fuel rail. Now, new Jettas are made with rubber fuel tubes. They have definitely known about this for many years (since 2007 at least).

The vehicle has a long history of the throttle becoming inoperative resulting in no-power (idle power strictly speaking) conditions. That condition is cleared when the clutch pedal is depressed and released. Recently there was an instance of uncommanded acceleration: instead of no power, full power was applied by the engine. Again cycling the clutch cleared the condition. The no-power cases appeared more likely in urban driving and soon after a transmission shift but did occur under almost any conditions. The full-power case occurred once, climbing a hill at ~2800' altitude. The power fail occurred as early as 34k miles, and continued with vw's knowledge until ~72k miles, when vw of America technicians finally did something to end it. Those symptoms started reoccurring at ~270k miles. The acceleration incident occurred at about 275k miles. The vehicle has been taken out of service; it will be sent to a salvage yard if the ntsb is not interested in the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving approximately 20 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was pulled over and restarted, but began to jolt and move slowly. The dealer diagnosed that the failure was caused by "georgia fuel" and that the fuel line needed to be repaired. Also, the passenger side air bar warning indicator remained illuminated. The dealer diagnosed that the air bag needed to be rewired. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 155,000.

Driving along the road and coolant suddenly flushed out of car. Water pump had to be replaced along with timing belt. Oil leaks in multiple places are starting to appear. I wondered why I was going through so much oil. Mechanic alerted me to the the poor design and build and told me to check of open recalls and similar problems.

At approx 80-90k I started hearing a clattering noise from the engine and extra noise when idling. Also, the car has a hard time shifting (automatic trans). After taking the car to a mechanic, I was told that it's the dsg dmf coming apart and rattling. After doing some research, I find it's a common problem. It started happening shortly after my car went out of cpo warranty, which expired at 74k. I didn't really pay that much attention to it until it got worse. This is a 06 tdi mkv with auto dsg, brm engine. Also experiencing difficulties with soot in fuel filter, likely due to faulty seal in fuel injectors under cam shaft. Once again, common problem according to mechanics and online forums on this model. There's a recall on the dmf for this model in australia, needs to have one for us.

The contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, she began to smell gasoline inside the vehicle. The contact opened the hood and saw that gasoline was leaking onto the engine. The contact was informed of a recall for the failure under NHTSA campaign number: 10v621000 (fuel system, gasoline) but was informed that her VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 90,000.

My wife and I were driving home and suddenly my car started jerking and made a "knocking" sound, without any warning (I. E. Check engine light). We were close to home and decided to continue on; however, in the next couple of miles, the problems persisted, still with no check engine light or any indication of what was wrong with the vehicle. Over the next several days, while parked on a secured premise, I started the car up and it had an erratic loping sound. I proceeded to call a nearby Volkswagen dealer and spoke to two certified vw mechanics, who failed to acknowledge the issue that there was no warning indication before the car started to act up and said to bring it in to swap out the engine at approx. $7500; they dismissed the problem as "normal wear and tear". I researched the problem on the internet and it lead me to believe that it was a problem with the cam, which I had confirmed by an auto-mechanic after towing the car in. He told me the entire engine was warped due to the cam going out. Other 2006 vw Jetta tdi owners have commented on the same issues, which at this point leads me to believe that it is not "normal wear and tear", but a manufacture defect.
