One problem related to dashboard failed has been reported for the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta based on all problems reported for the 2009 Jetta.
The failure that occurred was while the vehicle was in motion, on a city street, almost all the indicator lights turned on (brake, abs, check engine, and stability control) and the fuel and speedometer gauges went out. After pulling over and restarting the car, it seem to operate ok, but then everything lit up again. I pulled over on a side street to test the brakes and it seemed to brake "normal" without engaging the abs. It seem like the car operates without abs, stability control, the speedometer, and fuel gauge.
