general problems of the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta

Abs control module total failure no warnings appeared prior to the total failure of the abs control module to indicate that the car needed servicing. Abs would have failed in an emergency braking according to the dealership. Just driving the car without knowing the abs had issues put my family at risk. After the lights appeared I took it to the dealership who performed the diagnostics and determined that the abs needed total replacement and advised that the car was not safe to drive. Lights appeared after the failure. There were no brake issues' warning lights prior to the failure. For at least 8 years I've complained that my brakes screeched and for years I was told that my brakes were fine. I've had diagnostics done on the car and not once were issues found with the abs system. To realize that my car has no warning indicator for a major safety feature such as the brakes until that abs components' total failure is horrifying. Yet when my tires need air a light appears. There were previous abs recalls on other volkwagen Jetta models/years that my car VIN was not part of.

Driving on freeway (speed around 70mph) out of nowhere I start smelling strange burning smell then about 1 minute later the car brakes lock up in the front and I loose control of car but luckily it was in light traffic and I regained control enough to get it off to the shoulder. I got out to address the issue and notice the front tires smoking alot and it was at night and the inside (rotor, brake caliper, and rim were glowing bright red and the heat was melting the tire". Then I notice a flame and grabbed a bottle water and applied the tire and extinguish it. I sat there for a good 30 minutes to let everything cool down and the car would not move. "this is a serious saftey recall" and if it's not it should be addressed a. S. A. P please address this issue with volkswagon! and have this serious saftey issue corrected thank you.

Air bag light came on showing both driver and passenger airbags off without having any collision then pulled into gas station, car was fine pumped gas and tried to start vehicle and couldn't turn key further than interior lights. Was locked in ignition. Also had all brake pads and rotors replaced 1. 5 years ago, now service center says they need replaced again already. Diagnostics from vw shoe ignition switch lock cylinder malfunction needs replaced. There are recalls for the airbags and ignition switch cylinder and brakes for my exact year, month,make and model(11 recalls) but shows 0 recalls under VIN. Vw wants to charge me $1,200 to fix what should be free under recalls.

The contact owns a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed but the brakes locked up causing the vehicle to spin 180 degrees. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with antilock brake system (abs) control module failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 16v913000 (service brakes, hydraulic, electronic stability control) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

My tired was punctured and the tire pressure indicator light did not come on at all. The seatbelts never retract after taking them off they just hang there. Sometimes when I lock the doors the alarm does not sound off indicating the alarm is set, also my horn works when it wants to but never when it should, for instance there was a car coming up the street the wrong way and my car failed to create sound from the horn for me to alert the other driver. My car could be in motion or stationary none of the above works, my brakes have went out a few times while I was in motion in the middle of the highway as well. These issues have been happening way before the date I listed below but I just thought these were normal issues I need to get fixed on my own but who knew it was a recall issue all along.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving at an unknown speed, the abs, traction control, brake, and air bag warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The mechanic, however, informed the contact that the failure may be due to the abs control module. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.

On 05/22/2019 around 6 pm, my wife parked the car (vw Jetta, 2011 was stationed in parking mode), turned the car off at 309 smith street, newark, NJ 07108, then suddenly the car rolled back the downhill, crossed smith street to hit our neighbor car on the right side, a black Honda accord parked in front of 310 smith street (a one way street). A police complaint was not filed. I spent almost $500. 0 to partially fix my neighbor car. We were lucky that another car was not driving by, nor a pedestrian walking by. We didn't the cause of the incident, but found it wear. Almost 3 weeks before, also, my wife come back from the grocery store, she parked the car, turned the car off, went out and removed the grocery from the trunk, and suddenly the car rolled back to crush the grocery items on the floor and rolled over right foot.

We purchased the vehicle and a couple of days later we went to have the brakes checked and found out all the brakes and rotors were rusted so bad the bushing was broken off and there was no emergency brake. This was something that would not pass inspection yet the dealer said he just had it pass inspection. Also the ti-rod bar in the back was broken the rear springs were rusted and broke.

The abs module in this vehicle has failed as the abs, traction control, airbag, and brake lights are all on with the brake light flashing. The dealership stated a new module would be needed to have functioning anti lock brakes. In reference to case - NHTSA: 16v913, I believe the same components are the same as the power train did not change between the two vehicles. I am having the same symptoms as stated in this document but there is no recall as of yet.

The abs module on this model keeps breaking every 88,00 miles.

There are multiple lights on the dashboard. The abs, brake, traction control, airbag, and tire pressure light are all on when starting the car and stay on. The tpms light sometimes shuts off but sometimes it doesn�t. There is a similar problem on 2006-2010 Jettas and there was a recall that resolved a similar problem.

Vehicle stalls intermittently since purchase, commonly when exiting a freeway to a stop or during rush hour(stop/go)traffic. Before stalling, vehicle will jerk, rough idle, and delay acceleration. Stalling may occur at a stop after high speed, however stalling has also occurred during driving after a high speed to low speed departure. When vehicle stalls during driving, both the wheel and brakes lock up commonly. It takes putting it in neutral while rolling and attempting to start several times before ignition kicks in. This has been dangerous as the only braking would be a gradual emergency brake pull and there is no additional steering, thankfully I have had straightaways the times it has happened, however I have been forced to go through red lights with my hazards on, laying on the horn. Vw has attempted repair 5 times for same issue with no resolve. Lights and codes come and go intermittently after stalling. One or both of the previous issues mentioned occurs on a daily basis as of the moment. The ftc, bbb, and attorney general for the state of michigan have all been made aware of the situation and the attorney general's office recommended I report it to you.

Was driving and heard a clicking sound, shortly after my steering and brakes locked up, and then the entire car stalled. I was unable to restart the engine. Had car towed into the vw dealership where they told me my fuel (diesel for Jetta tdi) was contaminated causing the fuel pump to burst which lead to metal shards destroying the entire fuel system. However, I am 100% positive, and have receipts for proof, that the car had been filled up with diesel gas about 1 week prior to the incident and was running completely smoothly up until the sudden break down.

I bought a new vw Jetta 2011, on 11/11/10 next day I felt a problem when braking. The dealer said the brake drums were damage, it was a factory defect. Now I feel unsafe and disappointed driving it.
