general problems of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta - part 2

While exiting a parking at a stop sign, when accelerating out past the stop sign at approximately 10 mph the car's engine suddenly lost power and died. After the vehicle once again returned to a complete stop, I was able to restart the engine after putting the car into park. Taken into dealership 10 days later for schedule service and maintenance; nothing out of the ordinary was found.

While driving on the highway with cruise control engaged at/around speed limit, I noticed the rpms jumping and could feel the car jerking, as if some kind of acceleration/deceleration was happening. I also notice rpms jump 50 up/down while idling. This seems to happen when driving down hills on cruise control, more prevalent in colder weather. No loss of control has occurred, but appears to be issue that is slowly worsening.

Car has had issues 4k on. Car would accelerate on its own from 70 mph to 75 like wide open throttle. Car will quit at highway speeds 70 mph (no power steering, no brakes, just the service engine now and glowplug light are on flashing,(50k on) this has happened 4 times, car will quit making a right hand turn hitting pothole (50k on). Total dpf system has been changed out two times from two dealers , 3 total with original. Erratic egr signal was always tripping check engine light, some faults but not all are exhaust gas recirc flow insufficient detected sporadic, cylinder 2 injector n31 open circuit sporadic, exhaust aftertreatment fuel supply control performance sporadic, throttle actuator control motor circuit range/performance sporadic, navigation antenna (gps) short to earth. Dealers have spent over 20 thousand dollars parts and labor, in 4 different shops over 83 days (overnight), over 95 including reading codes only. Out of warranty expenditures over 1 thousand dollars so far. 69,000 miles and the dealer tech has no idea how to fix this car, he started out saying he has never seen a car he can't fix. I have over 50 pages of dealer documented faults and repairs, reprogramming ecu, was replaced this year to see if that would fix problems, some gone but now major issues listed above are happening. Replaced diesel particulate filter 2 times, replaced O2 sensors, replaced egr sensors and gaskets 2 times, replace throttle position sensor, replaced pressure sensor. Only item not replaced is the wiring harness.

The contact owns a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. While traveling 30 mph the contact noticed the vehicle suddenly shifted into neutral gear and would not shift into any other gear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the contact was informed that the failure could not be reproduced. No repairs have been made to the vehicle. The current and failure mileage was 50,600.

2010 vw Jetta tdi with roughly 35,650 miles. While driving up the on-ramp to enter the interstate, glow plug dash light came on and warned to "check engine now. " within 20 seconds, the car lost all power, and luckily I was able to coast over to the shoulder of the interstate (with drivers flying by at 65+mph at 9:45pm). Vehicle would not restart and had to be towed to the vw dealership. Service rep claimed "fuel contamination," with metal shards all throughout the fuel system. Entire fuel system has to be replaced ($10,000 repair) with equivalent, new parts. According to vw service technicians, the parts have not been updated despite vw's knowledge of this problem. As a result, "fuel contamination" could happen again, and the car could shut off while driving at any time without notice. This is a very serious safety concern. Luckily, because I was driving at night, there was not a lot of congestion on the road. Had this happened during rush hour, there very likely would have been a severe accident. Vw claims the problem is a result of the poor quality of american diesel fuel supply, saying the tdis are designed in germany to run on 100% diesel that's found in europe. If this is the case, why are they selling german designed cars in the united states that doesn't have fuel supplies that are 100% diesel? Volkswagen needs to issue a recall of the 2009/2010 Jetta tdi.

I purchased my 2010 Jetta tdi new at the end of September 2009. It is a manual transmission. I'm a pretty conservative driver and attempt to maximize my mpg. Each day after the vehicle has been setting overnight and is cold, I start up and drive to the store, a 4 mile drive, the engine will pause usually within that 4 mile drive. Sometimes it is a short jerk and sometimes it is a greater jerk. Other times it will happen on the return trip home. But it'll happen only once until it sets and cools off. I have had it in the shop twice with no help. My research finds some problems with the high pressure fuel pump which may be the issue, but I haven't been able to talk to vw America to see if they will confirm or deny this. This problem has happened since I've had the vehicle. It has 6,500 miles on it and I'm hoping to get it fixed before the warranty expires. Not sure what will happen when the mileage gets higher.

I purchased a 6-speed manual transmission Jetta-tdi at the end of December of 2009. I have been driving manual transmission cars since 1975, and I was upset that my car was stalling either just starting out in first or in the lower rpm range of the lower gears when turning and moving through intersections or trying to go uphill when the rpms were in the lower range. Keeping the rpms up a bit seems to have helped, as I am not having it stall as much as before. I also noticed what seemed like a slight hesitation or jerking when cruising . It would be just for a split second and then be gone my accident occurred when I was parallel parking on a hill. I went to back up a bit to straighten out my car and it stalled, rolling forward into the car parked in front of me. Fortunately, no one was injured. Damage was minor, but was submitted to my insurance company. At this point I was just blaming myself for not being able to adjust to the difference of clutching with a diesel engine because I couldn't figure out how to explain it. Then a heard 2 radio reports about the complaints being filed. I called vw of America who listened to my story. They told me that in order to be compensated for my accident, that I would have needed to have had the car towed immediately to a dealership and had it diagnosed. She suggested that I take it to be diagnosed. I took it to the dealer who kept it for two days and could not find anything wrong. A week later, I was coming to a stop for a red light and the rpms began to fluctuate like it was going to stall and then it would come back to normal rpms. When I started to drive it was a little rough, then smoothed out. I called vw of America who recommended that I take it back to the dealer. I am waiting for them to return my call. I have also 3 intermittent problems with my am radio cutting out--are the problems connected?.

Car idling in park. Engaged dsg transmission, car immediately stalls. . Attempted to restart, run/stall, run/stall, run/stall. Now runs rough. . . Mileage dropped 20%. Car at dealer - dealer has reported 5 other tdi's in same condition.

Vw Jetta tdi 2010. On four occasions the car has completely died while moving slowly. (5 to 20 mph) everything in the car stayed on. I had to turn the key off. Place the car in park and restart the car. There was no indication of any problems before or after the car staled out. Nothing in the car turned off or on, except the radio after I turned the key to the off position. Also while driving door locks started to click open and closed at 65 mph. After 10 min of random clicking the doors locked and stayed locked. Airbag light came on while driving. The light went back off after 20 min or so. Has not come back on. Transmission is generally smooth, however at random it is very abrupt, even during gradual or steady acceleration/deceleration. Car has only one driver. Has only ever had correct fuel. Various other electrical problems began at 300 miles. All problems are random. Vw continually dismisses me. It is going into shop again on Monday. From the sounds of it they do not expect to do anything to fix the car. Just drive it a few days and see if a problem happens. Car has put me in the middle of intersection with no control.

2010 vw Jetta 2. 0 tdi cup edition: entering traffic in first gear, at about 4000-4200 rpm, car had a complete loss of power. Engine did not die. I pushed in clutch and power returned. This has occurred monthly with no consistency since I purchased the car in July 2010. Occurs with a warm engine. Cold engine. Various levels of fuel, and various climate conditions. It has been taken to o'brien Volkswagen, a certified repair facility, every 3-6 months to have the issue resolved. Dealership can not replicate the issue and as a result has not solved the problem. Problem has been witnessed by three different passengers. A secondary stalling issue occurs between 1200-1800 with light gas peddle pressure. In this case, the car has a small pause or decrease in power. Down shifting and accelerating eliminates the problem.

2010 Volkswagen Jetta tdi(diesel) shuts off while driving. This has happened three times to me while driving. Vehicle usually start up after without difficulty. Vehicle has approx 2800 miles. One time it happened in a major highway intersection. This is very dangerous. Vehicle was taken to vw where repairs where supposedly made. Repairs made were 02 sensor and computer update. A few days later vehicle shut down once again while driving after the vw "repairs". There does not seem to be a pattern to the incidences. Vehicle is currently at vw undergoing tests. Another odd thing is that the factory bluetooth stereo has not worked since the first time the vehicle shut off while driving.
