general problems of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta - part 2

Dtc p2432 stored in ecm. Vw issued a warranty extension for 2012 model Jettas for this issue. Both model years have exact same sai system and pressure sensor. Vw is on its 3rd generation of pressure sensor and pipe configurations as they know they have an issue. Warranty extension should be granted for 2013 model year.

I was driving the car today and it began to jerk all of a sudden. Then the engine light flashed on and off. This is very concerning to me because I don't know if this is serious. And if this is covered under warranty.

On December 8, 2016 we purchased a 2013 vw Jetta hybrid with extended warranty. Within 3 months it was losing power, jumpy and not driving correctly. This was for my 16 year old son. It would lose complete power on the street. Not ideal for a brand new driver. Towed it to dealer, told needed new transmission. Four weeks later we finally got car back. Still noticed a jumpy feeling when driving but assumed dealer fixed correctly. In November 2017 same thing happened, loss of power, jumpy, not safe at all. Towed in to dealer again and they said vehicle needed repairs of 12k and not covered by warranty. I could not pay that nor could I not understand why it wasn't covered??? dealer said car was undriveable and they gave us 500. 00. I still owe 11k on the loan. Please help, I am just sick about the way I was treated and the debt I incurred for no reason. I really feel like this was a lemon.

A year ago the vehicle would not accelerate while driving and would then come to a stop. It was taken to the dealership where they said it was a wiring issue. In the past year the vehicle will turn off when sitting in traffic or at a light. Car will not detect key fob even when new batteries have been used. Car will say no key.

Key gets stuck in ignition when turning off the engine.

While driving on hwy 94 the epc and the engine malfunction light turned on. At my 55mph, my speed decreased immediately at 20 mph. My son and I felt unsafe, as there were cars behind me driving at their proper speed limit. It was scary as these cars could of crashed into my vehicle as my gas pedal lost immediate speed.

Car suddenly stops while driving. Steering wheel locks goes into "limp mode". Will start back up fine. This is a know issue with Volkswagen.

Key gets stuck in the ignition and won't turn off car.

Takata recall vw jeta was in an accident due to freezing rain in January 2017 (knoxville, TN). Vw slid into another car causing in excess of $5,000 damage; however, the airbags failed to activate. Complete failure in air conditioning system/compressor electrical system locks/unlocks doors while driving. Electrical system rolls down windows for no reason. This begun 70k miles.

I bought a new 2013 Volkswagen Jetta 2. 5l se. We purchased this car as a third vehicle for my two teenage children to use. My son was home from college and used it to commute to a daily internship during the summer of 2016 when he noticed that on two occasions it lost power on the highway while he was traveling 60 miles per hour. That fall I took my daughter to do her drivers test in the Jetta. It lost power twice en-route to the facility and lost power an additional three times while I drove it home. I took it to the dealer a few days later and it lost power several times on the way. I complained to dick dean (the dealer we bought it from) and to Volkswagen on multiple occasions. I told them that this situation threatened the safety of my two children. The dealer claims that they couldn't get the car to mimic the complaint. Dick dean and Volkswagen offered me a few thousands dollars off on a new Jetta. I took the offer because of the safety factor of my children. I think it is the height of irresponsibility of both organizations for not standing behind their product given the serious nature of this complaint. When I researched this issue I found numerous other customers with the same complaint about the 3013 Jetta. I am shocked that this company is allowed to get away with this kind of behavior, forcing a customer to pay for a new car when there is a serious safety issue involved. This car had around 20,000 miles on it at the time and was still under extended warranty!.

While driving through high wind, the driver side mirror plastic protector fell off. The ac unit needed complete replacement costing 1600 and now the ideal while turning on car is very high. Sound almost like it did when I had to take it in for the electrical recall in the last years. Doors are squeak when opening and closing. And while driving a noise that sound like chains rattles through out the car which is a very irritating sound.

Faulty engine coil.

I was driving on the highway, ,and the glow plug light started flashing, then the engine light came on and I lost all power to the car. I was able to coast to the shoulder without being hit by another vehicle. The dealership found the intercooler and the charge air pressure sensor needed replacement because it had snow and ice on it, and shorted out the sensor which in turn fried all the wiring. I notified vw as to the problem, they told me due to outside influence they would not cover this service. It cost $1342. 00 for the repair.

The contact owns a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving 55 mph, the service immediately warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the inter cooler needed to be replaced with a revised charge air cooler kit. The vehicle was not repaired the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.

Mass airflow sensor failure.

This vehicle doesn't run correctly it refuses to move while in driving.

The problem showing error code p0087, p0387 high pressure fuel pump failure, the cost of expensive to repair, difficult to meet warranty related power-train & engine. It has been twoce break down. Its third break down. It only 62k mileages on it. Vw want to working on it due of out of warranty cost. I am not happy that vw is not qualify to inspect part problem cause. I hope it is affect other customers who have simply problem with hpfp.

While driving my 2013 Volkswagen jettta gli, a part fell down by my feet hitting my foot. Once parked, the part numbered 1k0953527d was found on the drivers side floor mat. I called my local dealership where I had bought the car (new) and sent them a picture of the part. They said they believed it controlled the column lock while in park, however my wheel still locked in park with the part not in place. The next day, while driving in an alley, my bumbped my key chain while scooting forward in my seat and my car turn off, not allowing me to turn it back on until it finally came to a stop and I was able to put it in park. The service team had their most experienced team member on hand open the steering column and said that the part must have fell out; for reasons not known. They also said there was no indication of tampering.

Car was driving on the interstate when problems began. When the gas pedal was pushed, the car's tach just revved up with no acceleration. The car began to slow down and we had to pull off the interstate. Upon exiting, the car seemed to be stuck in gear but would not accelerate. We tried switching to sport mode and manual mode but neither made a difference. No warning lights came on. Car struggled to maintain 15mph upon exiting freeway and was limped into a parking lot. This could have caused a very serious crash as vehicle would not accelerate or change gears.

Was driving when the car suddenly shut off but radio and dash lights were still on almost caused a crash finally got car stopped and started back up fine serious problem needs fixed. . . .

I was driving the car approximately 40 miles per hour on a straight road, when all of the sudden the engine lost power and I started coasting in the middle of traffic. I would press the gas and the engine would rev, but no power would be delivered. It was unlike anything I've experienced before with the car. It was like I was in a false neutral, the rpms would increase but the car would not accelerate when I was pressing the gas pedal. Since the car would not regain power, I was forced to coast to a halt in traffic. When I tried to remove my key to power down the car, it would not let me take the key out of the transmission. It was as if the car thought that the transmission was not yet in park even though it was. After a few seconds I was able to remove my key, when I turned the car back on, the problem seemed to go away.

Upon take off the car jerks, and u drive the car on interstate under cruise control the car jerks multiple times, the 1st incident and then here recently, driving down the interstate at normal rate of speed car jerks without warning and giving gas at passing a vehicle on interstate it will jerk and act like it will not go will jerk and jerk like it is not getting gas and I had a full tank so I have took the car in number of times and says can't find problem and the represenative will drive the car and never happens with them I am about ready to give car back this issue has been going on too long, the car does this with no warning and it will scare u it jerks so hard I have by now got used to this but I am sick of it and needs to be resolved I owned a 2011 Jetta with no problems ever since I have had this one this incident has happened and nobody knows what it is!! maybe ya can help please!! I have been sitting at the dealership letting them check it out for the issue and have heard of others but no one has reported it this could become a issue if the car does not go upon acceleration could cause an accident or death!!.

Transmission started lagging in my manual 2013 vw Jetta s when accelerating after switching into second gear from first gear. After a couple of days the engine seized up and all of the lights came on. Luckily, was just on my way to the dealership for repair and was right around the corner. First repair was 11/2/2013. This happened again 5 days later on 11/7/2013. Got it fixed, started driving home and the problem kicked in again. Had to bring it in on 11/8/2013 for the same repair in less than 12 hours (3rd time in less than a week). The ignition coil was misfiring and the spark plugs kept needing to be replaced. All was well in good until August 26, 2014 when the same problem happened. A week later, the problem came back but now it's more on and off. Will be taking it in again for the same issue for the 5th time now.

We were traveling in center lane on I-75 in FL doing 70 mph. Dash light indicator showed double circle error light. Engine quit and car lost all power. Coasted to breakdown lane.

The contact owns a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated while traveling approximately 15 mph, there was a sudden hesitation. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. The technician was unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

While I was driving, the car shut itself off. There were three separate incidents. The dealership kept the car for two weeks and re-programmed the computer after conferring with vw.

Jetta hybrid. Loss of traction while ascending steep driveway. Never happened before even with another hybrid.
