Radio/tape Cd Player problems of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta

Radio just stopped working all of a sudden checked wires and fuses which were good can't seem to find what the problem is. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly; 3 - VIN corrected, error in one position (assuming check digit is correct); 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.

My 2012 Jetta radio/stereo went dead. Lots of other 2011 Jetta stereos died too. Bad batch for us consumers. I want a compensation check mailed to me for 363. 23 the cost I have to pay best buy for a new one. Read the forums thousands of other Jetta owners in 2011 had this happen. Thank you.

The ignition switch on my 2011 Jetta is regularly becoming stuck and I cannot turn off my vehicle. I spent over an hour on Saturday evening while parked in driveway trying to turn the vehicle off and remove the key to no avail. I had to remove the fuel pump fuse along with unplugging the battery. The radio system also went out. Following a loud pop the system quit working completely. Similar to many reports I have read online since the occurrence.

Turned on vehicle, went to turn on the stereo, and once I hit the 'power' button, it turned on and then the screen went black, resulting in the complete loss of the head unit, radio, blue tooth, and clock. Fuses were checked in both the fuse box and the stereo itself, and no fuses were blown.

Upon starting the car on Feb 8, 2017, the radio/nav system/bluetooth system did not work.

I was driving to my cabin and when I woke up the next day and started my car - my radio did not work, the care was stationary in driveway when I noticed this problem. I drove to the dealer, thinking it was a fuse or something easy to fix and they said the radio is broken and it be over $1500. 00 to replace. I was a bit shocked - this radio is not fancy, standard stock radio. I started doing research in all the vw Jetta forums and many people (thousands of people have had this issue or an electrical issue that caused the radio to break) the 2011 Jetta radio is junk and it needs to be recalled. I'm not sure if this is another poor vw scam similar to the diesel mileage fraud? but several people in the forums are having the same issue. This need to be addressed by Volkswagen and repaired at no cost to the owners. A radio should last more than 4 years! thank you!.

On my way to my location I was listening to my radio without any issue. I got back in my car and my screen is black and radio is not working. I bought my car 4 months ago and am furious because the bumper to bumper warranty has expired. I have read many forums and see this has happened to many people. Why the hell has there not been a recall issued for this. From my research it is $800-$1000 to fix. It is not a blown fuse; already checked. Someone needs to look into this common problem and we need to hold th!m accountable. This is my first Jetta, and may very well be my last if this issue is not resolved.

My boyfriend and I drove to get dinner. On the way there my radio was fine we were singing and laughing. We get to the restaurant and I turn my car off and there were these little buzzing sounds, didn't think anything of it. It was a hot day cars make sounds. After diner getting in the car and getting ready to start driving I realize I can't play music! I always use the aux cord. At first I thought it was my phone then I looked up and seen that my touch screen was black. . . . Then I just thought it was turned off so I tired pushing the power button. . . Nothing. So on the way home my boyfriend looked up the fuses got the chart, and we pulled it out and it was perfect no nothing. Then I immediately got on the internet and started reading. No only did I find that similar models and previous years have had the same problem, but in a few months it leads to dead batteries, and the possibly that's your car is not reliable and it should be with an easy fix. I also found that the type of radio is very hard to find, I couldn't find it in vw parts and replacements, but instead finding earlier, and more update versions!.

While driving, radio/cd/hands free telephone died. Screen flickered and then went blank, no power to all these functions. Vw repair said this model of radio installed on this year vehcile was a common problem, and that the radio unit is dead and will need to be replaced ($668 plus tax for a replacement by dealer). Plus an install fee. An ungodly price for a replacement radio that is only 4 years old. There are numerous complaints and threads out which warrant a recall. I use the hands free constantly for work and not being able to will make me have to use the phone in an unsafe manner. Safety is paramount. Update 9/15/cw.

The contact owns a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that the radio stopped working, which caused the vehicle's bluetooth to stop working. The contact's city has a hands free law for safety. In the cold winter months, the radio failure prevented the contact from being able to get any update information. The contact changed the fuses, but that did not correct the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

While driving, radio/cd/hands free telephone died. Blank screen, no power. All fuses fine. After removing radio and checking wiring /ground, auto stereo repair guy said that the radio unit is shot and will need to be replaced ($600 parts by dealer) or repaired for more. 2011 car has just over 300000 miles. Ridiculous.

Turned my vehicle on and heard the radio pop and has been useless ever since. The radio in this vehicle controls everything. I have talked to vwoa and several other vw repair shops and they have told me this is not their problem and I must pay for diagnostics and repair myself. I am very displeased with the quality of parts and service in this vehicle. Also the way everyone seems to know what the problem is but lies about it really gets on my nerves. Its not right that a multi billion dollar company can continue to do this to people legally. I hope that there are good people at your organization that can make this right. I have found so many different websites, blogs , forums. And disappointed people that have this same problem. I have included just a few of the ones I have found with hundreds of thousands of complaints of the same issue. Thank you for taking the time to listen. . Read more...

While driving the windshield wipers would randomly creep up the windshield and when the wipers got all the way to service mode, all the doors would unlock. The radio would fade in and out and the when adjusting the sound on the radio loud cradking, popping and static sould would come from the radio speakers.
