1 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2019

Hi, I have a 2009 Jetta 2. 5 se and the door locks stopped working g both manually or with the key remote. I cannot lock my doors except for the driver door. It started this morning out of nowhere.

2 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2017

The driver's side rear door lock does not work. It doesn't work manually or with the key fob. I am concerned about the safety of my passengers if something were to happen and they cannot exit the vehicle from the rear. Also, the inability to lock the rear door is another safety issue. I have noticed several complaints about the same problem. Does it take an actual vehicle fatality for this problem to be dealt with?.

3 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 05/26/2014

While driving, a warning message briefly appeared stating engine management malfunction followed by a blinking heat coil light. The manual said to take to repair station as soon as possible, but within 1 mile the Jetta tdi lost power, my car almost stopping and eventually losing all power. Lukily I was not on the freeway where this would have been very dangerous, and I was able to pull to the side of a country road, calling for a tow truck. Analysis following instructions on a vw service bulletin shows the primary fuel pump that supplies the system failed and the vane pump released metal into the entire fuel system, getting past the filter (another defect?) and going all the way to the injectors. The entire system except the gas tank will need to be replaced. Vw says this $7000 repair is not under warranty. Vw should have recalled the faulty fuel pump and faulty filter that allowed the metal to continue into the entire system. I am being told that one dealership is handling 2-3 of these cases a week! I find on the internet that this has caused accidents.

4 Owners/service Manual problem

Failure Date: 01/08/2012

Car door locks not working / erratic. When I bought the car from the dealer in santa cruz, California in 2012, they did not tell me the rear right passenger door did not automatically lock, nor could it be locked from inside. I had to manually lock it from the side, and now it stays locked all the time unless I pull the inside lever. Then, an year later, the other (left) passenger side started never locking too, and most of the time I have to manually lock the driver door with the key. The front right passenger door still works fine, as do all the alarms. The dealer says it will cost me $1400 to fix.
