general problems of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta

I was driving my car down at residential area and it came to a complete stop on its own I could not get it to accelerate it all I had to get out of my car pop the hood disconnect the battery and then I was able to put in a drive and accelerate all the lights are flashing on the control panel I had no control over my car whatsoever I took it into tracy Volkswagen and they said they couldn't diagnose it because it wasn't connecting to my computer in my car. Tracy said the control module for the abs didn't work and they couldn't replace it for me until the headquarters approved it or something about the recall didn't include the control module I can't afford to fix this it's all abs connected that's what the safety call is for safety.

I brought my car to the dealership not even 2 years ago. They said they fixed my abs moduler and the epc updated the software and replaced the abs moduler if they did then why is my car shutting down and causing me trouble and having issues. I just need this car fixed the correct way. They didnt fix it due to the way they went about it. I need my car fix due to my 8 year old daughter I take yo school and also taking my fiance to pt due to a terrible accident. I need answer or someone to answer why my car is acting up if they fixed it. . Thank you dawn.

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.

The abs module faulting is a known and common problem for these vehicles. Vw has a recall for the abs software-recall #16v913. If your module doesn't crash when the dealer performs the update, which it likely won't, then they do not replace the module. We feel this is a workaround to cover them to not have to replace them. Ours went out this month while I was driving. This was extremely dangerous as I lost steering control and the vehicle kept downshifting below 30 mph on a highway that I should have been traveling 60 mph on. The epc and abs lights came on. When we called the dealer, they agreed to look at it to see if it was the abs module and if it would be eligible for replacement under the recall. It was not covered because they were "unable to perform the software update". This is because of the specific wording on the vw recall. I have read that several other customers have been turned away because of the same thing and left with expensive repairs. They should issue a recall to cover the faulty abs modules all together and not exclude them due to the "software update. " the recall is a play on words to cover them from not being required to replace them. It is strategic and misleading. We called vw and was told it would not be covered also. Here is a web link of other people logging the same experiences. There are others online. People can get killed driving these when they go out. Now we have to pay to a lot of money to get ours replaced by the dealer. Https://urldefense. Proofpoint. . Read more...

Takata recall. Car hesitates to speed up, abs light come up some time and go off. Light cover all the signal p r n d s when the gear lever is on drive (d).

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?.

While driving the vehicle all of a sudden starts to beep and the abs light, epc light, check engine light, brake light, and skid control light show. The vehicle sometimes loses the speedometer reading which drops to 0. This sporadically happens, sometimes it'll stay for days and other times it'll go away after 10 minutes and not appear again for a day or two. It seems to be happening more and more frequently. It happens when in motion and when starting the vehicle. This makes it very difficult to drive since the speedometer malfunctions and in the snow the vehicle seems to handle worse than usual and the brake system does not kick in every time. The abs module seems to be malfunctioning.

The contact owns a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the vehicle would start to decelerate when depressing the accelerator pedal. The instrument panel lights all illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that while driving and depressing the brake pedal to come to a complete stop, the brakes would make a squeaking noise. The abs, the bracket and engine warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

As I was traveling from ft collins back to denver on the i25 freeway going approximately 65 mph when my car suddenly lost power. When I pressed on the gas pedal all I heard was the engine revving but no power. I was able to move my car safely to the shoulder of the freeway by sheer luck of the time of day this happened and then promptly called a towing company.

My Jetta lost power from going 60mph to 35-40 and after a min it shut down on highway. I managed to push it on a shoulder and tried to start again but nothing happened. I towed it away to mechanic and found out that my high pressure fuel pump shattered and released bunch of tiny metal peaces in to the fuel filter and engine. Mechanic told me that it happened because of a design flaw with the pump that vw admitted but haven't done anything about that. So I'm wondering what if a semi truck came at the same time and hit me would they do something about it then?.

After returning from a service at the dealer, my 2009 sportwagen instrument warning lights displayed a flashing glow plug light followed immediately by a message to bring the vehicle to in for service. We were four houses down from our drive, and as we pulled into teh driveway, the vehicle shut off and would not restart. It was towed to eth dealer who reported metal debris in the fuel filter indicating a high pressure fuel pump failure and a cost for replacement parts (entire fuel system) totaling over $5000. This is a certified pre-owned vehicle, owned for less than one year. I called and filed a claim with vw USA.

Car stalled again after new exhausted flap was installed (1ko-253-691-e ) . As per other older complaint odi # 10476791. Vw paid $646 for new part but refused to pay labor $183. 93. Now on the new exhaust flapper they gave me a new part free,but it cost me $529. 63 for new sensors along with labor for the install. Per the auto shop there has been a lot of changes in this part . The customer is engineering this part for vw.

Abrupt deceleration to 30mph from 50mph d/t vehicle in front of me hitting their brake and turning. Then I accelerated to get back to the posted speed of 50mph. When depressing accelerator at approx 40mph heard a loud "pop", loss of power, glow light on dash came on and warning. Loss of power with 3 cars coming behind me so I quickly moved to the shoulder and restarted the car. Car turned over but was in "limp" mode - I was less than 1 mile from my house, so I pulled out and "limped" home. Contacted vw on Monday 11/14/11 and my dealership. The car was flat bedded to the dealership and hpfp failure was diagnosed, vw paid in full for complete replacement of entire fuel system.

When starting to move the car such as at a stop sign or at an intersection, when putting the accelerator pedal down to start the vehicle moving, the whole car almost stalls as engine power disappears for a terrifying few seconds. This is very dangerous because you pull out into traffic and expect the car will move forward and not stall. I went onto a vw forum and learned that this is a common problem for vw.

Car stalled while accelerator was pressed. Stall lasted about 3 seconds. Stalling occurs about once a month.

The contact owns a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while pulling into a parking space the vehicle accelerated without driver intent and crashed into the front of the store. The impact stopped the acceleration. No injuries were reported. The police and fire department filed a report and it is available. The vehicle was towed to a local repair shop to be repaired. The insurance company contacted Volkswagen and stated that they had no other complaints related to the failure on file. The failure and current mileages were 2,000. The VIN was unknown.

When at a stop sign or after applying the brake, there is a long lag before the accelerator will engage. Once when stopped at a stop sign, I let the brake pedal go and engaged the accelerator because there was oncoming traffic. The car rolled into the oncoming lanes and only when I reached the third lane did the accelerator engage. An oncoming large pickup was accelerating away from his traffic light and almost broadsided my car. He apparently didn't see me until almost upon me. This long lag between letting the brake go and pressing the accelerator has happened several times since I purchased the car. The boardwalk vw people of richardson, TX as well as the university vw people in albuquerque, nm said the this was because both the brake and acceleration depended on hydraulic pressure that is shared between them. They also said that they have reported this to vw and vw said that this was designed this way on purpose. I think that this is a very dangerous situation.

While driving, vehicle transmission disengaged resulting in no power to maintain speed. This occurred twice, once on a rural highway traveling approximately 60 mph and once on the interstate traveling approximately 70 mph. With the first occurrence the transmission re-engaged after a few seconds. With the second occurrence, the "prnds" shift indicator light began flashing and I had to merge over through traffic into the emergency lane to avoid high speed traffic, all the while having no power. I then had to shut the engine off and restart it to clear the malfunction. I scheduled an appointment at the dealer for repair and a sensor(s) were replaced on the transmissions computer. Since the repair I've not had another malfunction. This malfunction poses a serious hazard as one loses the ability to maintain speed in traffic, resulting in a stalled vehicle situation.
