One problem related to battery dead has been reported for the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta based on all problems reported for the 2011 Jetta.
While driving with approx. 50,000 miles, the radio popped and completely died. The radio, along with the hands free phone capability are now inoperable. The vehicle was taken to two (2) separate Volkswagen dealerships and each verified that the fuses were in tact and it was a faulty radio. The broken radio is actually still drawing power from the battery which causes frequent dead batteries. I have already replaced two (2) batteries in the last year. This poses a safety concern because the battery could die at anytime and leave the driver stranded. There have been numerous complaints about this same problem which warrants a recall before anyone else gets hurt.
