Dealer issued keys are impossible to turn when attempting to turn off engine in stationary/park position. Have to flick key forward causing a power surge to shut the engine off. Process is getting worse, now fuel light is on stating that my fuel sensor is broken. Car has lost power when accelerating as well. This is all connected to the power surge needed to shut the car off. Dealership states, there has not been a recall for this type of issue, it will cost me upwards to $1000 to fix ignition cylinder. It looks like it's one of the only issues with this vehicle and is known by the dealerships. Dealership only advises to purchase new vehicle with "push to start. " this will be our first and last vw.

A 5 year old car with under 70k miles is now in the shop having the timing chain replaced. This is about half the miles and years that should be expected to go without timing chain problems.
My car has had many problems and has not been able to be fixed through the dealership. All problems occurred after 50,000 miles. The engine seems to run and start hard. The car would not accelerate when driving. It would rev up but no motion until something eventually switched into gear, while in motion on streets and highway. It will act like this for awhile without triggering a code. I would bring it to the dealership and would be told it was nothing. Eventually it will trigger the epc code, but the code will disappear the next time the car is turned on. About 4 days after that the engine light comes on. Volkswagen dealership has "fixed" this issue once before stating that it was a manufacture defect. They covered the cost, but since then it has happened again and they state that now I am responsible for covering the repair, when it wasn't fixed correctly or diagnosed correctly in the first place. I have missed numerous days of work, and have been without a car do to diagnosis/ repairs for over 2 months in this past year. This should not happen with only 56,000 miles on a car.

We drove our 2014 v/w Jetta to grocery store and vehicle was parked in the parking lot while my husband was sitting in it waiting for me to return no more than 20 minutes the vehicle engine light came on and begin flashing and turned off and would not turn back on. We called aaa for towing and an extra battery but the batter was working fine. Almost 2 hours later waiting for 2nd tow truck to come and tow the vehicle, it turned over and we managed to drive 2 miles home and the car started one more time and has not turned back on since. We had vehicle towed to the dealer and the dealer says it is engine problem and we have to pay $396 to pay for repair. We have had this brand new vehicle for 9 months and it has burned my husband back and now it doesn't work. . . . .
At 13k miles the engine hydrolocked due to icing in the intercooler. Car is a 2014 Jetta tdi value edition. They "fixed it" by a vw TSB. Turns out it is a very well known issue. Condensation freezes in the intercooler at low temps (below 25 deg), then melts and is sucked in when you start your car (or try) the next morning.
Ref: NHTSA action number pe10034. Regarding my 2014 Jetta tdi (diesel): fuel tank was approximately 3/4 full. Filled remainder (approx. 1/4 tank, 3. 5 gallons) with ulsd auto diesel fuel at a service station in portage county, OH. I noticed an almost immediate loss of approx. 4 mpg in fuel economy. After researching the issue on various Volkswagen tdi/diesel internet discussion forums (in addition to various chevy and/or Ford diesel pickup truck internet discussion forums), the symptoms seemed to coincide with damage to the bosch cp4 hpfp (high-pressure fuel pump). Symptoms include: -- loss of fuel economy. -- minor hesitation even on smooth, level roads that gets worse over time. -- presence of metal "flakes" or "shavings" in the fuel filter canister and other parts of the fuel delivery/return system. -- I drove the vehicle to the point of purchase (an official Volkswagen dealer), and requested they provide me with a visual inspection of the fuel filter and fuel filter canister. This inspection confirmed the presence of naked-eye-visible contaminating particles (suspected to be aluminum metal "flakes" or "shavings") in the fuel filter canister, and possibly other parts of the fuel delivery/return system. Due to the fuel delivery/return system design, these metal "flakes" or "shavings" can be re-introduced into the high pressure fuel pump without being trapped by the fuel filter, causing further damage to the hpfp and cascading contamination (generation of additional metal "flakes" or "shavings"). Once fuel flow through the hpfp, fuel accumulator rail, and injectors becomes sufficiently restricted by contaminants, the hpfp can fail catastrophically, resulting in a sudden loss of engine power. This, in turn, can lead to a loss of vehicle control due to the absence of power steering. Case opened with vw customer care.
At operating temperature, after 20 minutes, engine quits when coming to a stop. Engine also has a hesitation when starting from a stop. Reported to Volkswagen of America and they opened a case number. They also told me to take to dealer which I did and the dealer kept for two days but did nothing to fix. Returned to me. I asked to upgrade to another vehicle, but sales manager said that I would "take a big hit".
