When starting my 2012 vw Jetta, the abs light, brake light, passenger air bag light come on on the dashboard along with a long beeping sound. The sound eventually stops but the lights stay on. Vehicle is trying to run through diagnostics upon starting (vehicle is stationary but lights remain on while driving) when these lights come on. The brakes on the vehicle are fine and do not need to be serviced per mechanic and vw. Personal mechanic along with authorized vw service pulled the following codes: 01130 abs operation not a plausible signal, 01317 control module, 01285 cluster, 01486 system function test failure. Vehicle mileage is approximately 63k. Abs module failure has been a known issue with these vehicles and there are tbs's and technical tips for troubleshooting as well as a recall for 2009-2010 Jetta's. Properly maintained vehicles should not require abs module replacements at 63k miles. Was also told that by authorized vw service that this vehicle also has a leaky vacuum pump. Total cost of repairs: $2,636 for replacement of abs module plus tax and $1,036 plus tax for replacement of the vacuum pump. Neither of these parts should need to be replaced on this 2012 vw Jetta with 63k miles. This is absurd. There should be a recall on these parts because, especially with the abs module, they are clearly defective. You will find many consumer complaints about the abs module on the web for this vehicle.
The key is getting stuck and can not be removed. Can not turn vehicle on or off because the key will not turn. The vehicle was stationary on a city street. The other problem is that the airbag light is continually on.
My airbag light came on a couple months ago. I don't have the money to fix it and the closest vw dealership is about 80miles from here. I don't know if this could be a recall defect or was it something that I did. I do have a child and I don't want anything to happen. I don't go out of town as it is due to my tires losing air and the airbag light being on.
There was a recall a couple of years ago on my vehicle regarding the clockspring. Every time I made a left turn it would make a loud cracking noise, the sharper the turn the louder the sound. The airbag light appeared, the systems on the steering wheel don't work anymore including the horn. I have called vw to see if they'll fix it, I said it's related to the recall. They said it will cost ~$150 just to do the evaluation.
Air bag light dont turn off.
My airbag light came on for no apparent cause. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the clockspring cable and sent me on my way. I was charged over $400 for this. That same afternoon the light came on again and I took it back. After 2 weeks they still have my car and don't know what the problem is. I looked up information on your site and found that other Jettas of my same year had this part under recall. But when I asked the guy at the garage he said my car was not on the recall list. So, I looked on your site again and saw that 2012 Jettas were in fact included but it didn't appear that my specific VIN number was included. How can this be possible? I am having the same trouble with the same part and don't feel I should have paid for this or any further repairs that may be pending. My question to you is, shouldn't my VIN number be included in this recall?.
The airbag light will come on and off intermittently while driving. Airbag sensors are malfunctioning.
"takata recall" "water pump" I got many recalls on my Jetta gli 2012� . The last recall I got on the mail was on November ,2016 for the airbag control . After I dropped my car for the recall I picked it up same day . I noticed that the airbag light is on for the first time I haven't had any issues like this before . I returned back to the dealer and informed them , they said you have to leave it and we're sorry we didn't take care of that . I didn't have time to leave it there for one more day . Now they're asking me to pay for it around $992 ! I got all of the voicemail from the dealer they called me to apologize for the airbag light and asked me to come back to fix since it came up after I dropped it for the recall . Also , I have showed the quote for the water leaking to many auto care centers in houston . They told me that this kind of car with 2. 0 engine has a problem with the water pump and they will never get involved whit this car because to many people with the same engine and car model had the same problem several times . My car only got 60k mile on it and never been into and accident it's been less than 5 years now since I purchased the car . I paid 28k dollars cash from the first day just because I trusted in vw. I have contacted vw of America , but they didn't help me with my case and asked me to pay for it . �.
I went to passenger side of parked vehicle, opened door, and adjusted seat position backwards slightly. The next morning I started car and after several miles of driving , the solid (non-blinking) airbag light came on. I called 2 dealers in area who told me to bring it in immediately for a $900 to $1000 repair. I had fault diagnosed by professional as a passenger side curtain airbag fault to the igniter - short to ground. I will not pay for this repair which is obviously a defective part that should be recalled. My airbag system is now deactivated.
I was sold a brand new 2012 Volkswagen Jetta without a passenger airbag. Additionally, there were multiple other defects with the vehicle, and by definition, I was sold a lemon. I've tried bringing the vehicle back to the dealership on multiple occasions to repair the problems, and they have yet to be able to correct the issues. The dealership installed a new airbag which has malfunctioned on more than a few occasions, resulting in the airbag light coming on and causing faults in the terminals leading to the tail lights and shorts in the dashboard.
