Check Engine Light On problems of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta

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.

After months of car bogging eventually my check engine light went on. Code read for oxygen sensor. Shortly after epc light came on. Car wouldn't move. After research I found that many Jetta's hv this issue. Recall?.

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. 00 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?.

Just bought this car from a dealership 2 months ago. We haven't even put 2,000 mile on the car yet and the check engine light came on. I talked to my mechanic after I bought the car and he told me these cars are notorious for maf sensor failures and that it is not an easy fix. In fact he won't even work on this problem due to his past experiences with this exact problem. Now I have to take it to vw and they will have to replace to whole throttle body and reprogram the ecu. Kinda funny how my mechanic warned me if this problem and wasn't even time for an oil change before this happened. Seems like vw has an issue with this problem and the fact they haven't done anything to rectify the problem such as recall or offer cheap solutions and charge over 1000$ to fix the problem and has to be done at vw to reset the ecu tells me they are doing this on purpose to make as much money as possible on repairs that should only cost a couple hundred dollars. . . Completely not satisfied with vw will never buy one again, will never recommend one to anyone in fact will campaign to boycott vw at all costs!!.

While driving on the highway, the check engine light came on and the car began slowing itself down. When I tried to accelerate the engine revved and the rpm indicator went up but the car would not speed up past 45 mph and the steering wheel shook very hard the rest of the way. When I took it for diagnostics and repair, the codes p2431 and p2432 indicated a faulty sensor in the air injection system pressure sensor. I was told that volkswagon was aware of the particular problem, which has occurred in a high number of vehicles and they in fact recommended an updated version of the injection hose and sensor. This was a $350 repair on a vehicle with less than 30,000 miles and according to volkswagon a common repair. I don't think it's fair that consumers should absorb the cost of this type of repair.

2009 Volkswagen Jetta tdi with dsg transmission with 67,000miles while accelerating to roadway speed the vehicle began hesitating followed by a dramatic loss of power and struggled to accelerate at all. Glow plug light began flashing and check engine light came on after about 1 minute. Dramatic loss of power could have resulted in crash. Volkswagen dealer diagnosed the issue as a defective crank shaft position sensor which could only be replaced at a cost of over $2,000 due to the in accessibility of the sensor and needing to uninstall and re-install the engine.

Driving down freeway at 61mph, engine turns off. No power steering or breaks while I changed lanes in heavy traffic to get to the shoulder of the road. Car would not start and had to tow to the dealership. Dealer replaced battery, primed fuel system, gave car back. After five days, check engine light came on, so I took car to dealership. They replaced glow plug control module and gave car back. Driving down highway when car again dies, engine turns off without warning. I have to change lanes again with no power steering or breaks to get off the road. Towed vehicle to dealership where they say the high pressure fuel pump needs to be replaced. This is a very scary and dangerouse problem to have a car turn itself off while driving down the freeway.

Check engine light comes on frequently and when I take to dealer it is always a sensor problem I have also had some electrical issues replacing bulbs frequently. Also while driving the shifting lights will all light up prnds, sometimes there is a loss of power. Also one of the overhead light seems to have melted due to a high heat source of some kind.

The contact owns a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, the engine stalled and the check engine light illuminated. The contact mentioned that the vehicle failed to restart and was towed to an independent mechanic where it was found that the high pressure pump was defective. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 46,900.

Check engine light and glow plug indicator light illuminate and engine goes into limp or safe mode. Has happened twice and dealer cannot find problem.

Tl- the contact owns a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that the check engine light came on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and to a mechanic who determined that one of the pressure sensors in the exhaust system had failed. The dealer wound up having to replace both sensors because it was impossible to replace just one. The mechanic spoke with the manufacturer, but was told there was no other repair available because there was no technical service bulletin. The failure mileage and current mileages were 143,000. Rl.

On Wednesday 5/22/13 I was driving my 2009 vw Jetta tdi at about 45mph when all the sudden the check engine light came on, the glow plug light started flashing, and engine fault workshop came up on my display. The car lost power and wasn't running right. I immediately stopped the car and called my local vw dealership to see if the car was safe to drive. (warning if this happens to you do not drive the car no matter what the dealership says!!!!!) the vw dealership said it was safe to drive the car to the dealership since all the warning lights where orange and not red. The car had very low power while driving to the dealership and eventually died. I then towed the car to the dealership and after 2 days got the dreaded call that the hpfp(high pressure fuel pump) had failed and sent metal shrapnel throughout the entire fuel system . Vw is telling me this is going to cost me $7,000 to fix which is absolutely absurd since vw is very aware of this problem and has covered the costs for other people when this has happened. I don't think it is right that a 4 year old car with 80k miles on it should have a repair cost this high. There should be some sort of fail-safe on the hpfp that when it fails it does not send metal shrapnel throughout the fuel system. I am currently writing letters to the dealership and to vw America to let them know my disappointment in their product. This problem is happening way to often to not have a recall on this car. I also find it funny that the dealership made a call to vw of America before they called me to tell me what was wrong sounds like they know there is a issue here.

Traveling on innerstate 10 from tallahassee, the car engine suddenly stopped running. After drifting onto the shoulder the engine light was on and the glow plug light was on. There were no indications of any problem prior to the engine stopping. No indicator lights came on, no sputtering, no loss of power etc. After many attempts to restart with no success, it was towed into marion florida. They could not tell what was wrong and I had to have it towed to the closest dealer in valousa GA. There they found metal pieces in the fuel filter and said this was going to be a major repair. Please contact me if you need more information about this incident.

While slowing down for a traffic light on a busy avenue the car stalled and shut down the engine light was recently on and I took this car to be checked by dealer no problems were seen.
