general problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta

After exiting the freeway and got to the overpass I had to stop, after a accelerated the engine shut down, lost all electrical power except for the radio, fortunately after the overpass was a downgrade so the car was able to coast to safety on to the shoulder. This has not been the first incident where the vehicle has lost complete power while driving in city streets. This is my wife's car, she had complained to me of the car not starting after she gotten off work, we tried to jump started it and it still would not start, so it had to wait till I got off from work. Soon as I got to the vehicle after my shift, I tried to crank start it and the vehicle started with out hesitation. While driving in the city street, after making a stop the vehicle engine shut off, I was unaware since the radio was still playing, so my wife pointed out this had been happening to her as well, even after we replaced the battery. So I took the vehicle to my mechanic and he mentioned that this could be an alternator problem, so we replaced the alternator as well, but the vehicle continues to shut down or it just won't start. I decided to check the wiring to the battery and to the distributor and after doing this the vehicle will start up again. Last episode was on 11/15/2019 as I exited the freeway on my way to work. When I got home I remembered that my wife had handed me a couple of latters from the vw dealer witch we had omitted since we bought the vehicle used in a car lot. This is how I found out that these letters where notices of the recalls on this particular vehicle. I shared this with a friend that claims he also had the same problem with a vw vehicle he owned, he explained that the problem in his unknown vw model, the electrical wiring was at fault. I'm scheduled to bring the vehicle in for a recall for the key column, witch is not associated to the problem according to vw rep.

The passenger side low beam went out. I replaced the bulb and it still didn't work. Then the driver's side low beam went out too. I tried replacing both bulbs at once, it didn't work. Then I checked the fuses, both under the hood and under the dash. The fuses are good. The high beams are good, the running lights, break lights and turn single lights are good. Just the low beams.

Low beams failed to turn on. Replaced the bulbs not too long ago and the bulbs are not burned out. All fuses are good. High beams work, daytime running lights work. Low beams are not functioning properly.

I have 2014 vw Jetta the car has horn problem and also some electrical problem. Horn sometimes working sometimes not. This is serious safety problem should be fixed. Dealer try to charge me the diagnostic fee and also repair cost.

When driving one evening, I noticed both low beams not providing light. My high beams work so I drove with them as to not drive in the dark. I was unable to see traveling on a highway at 65 mph. I had to use my high beams even with on coming traffic causing a safety issue for them also. When low beams are turned on, only a small light that does not prove any llight to see is on. I noticed this while driving. I have attached pictures of the all three light positions; day, low, and high.

The high beams stopped working. No indicator light on the readout, either. It was stationary. Bulbs aren't burned out, filaments are intact in both.

January, the driver side head light stopped working while driving at night on the city street (replaced light). March, the passenger side head light stopped working while driving at night on city street (replaced light). June, both head lights stopped working within a month of each other, both while driving at night on residential roads (again, replaced lights). November, both lights stopped working shortly after I left work and was less than a block away, at night. After taking the vehicle in to the dealership, dealership reports no issues, but does acknowledge ongoing problem for other owners of the same vehicle type. I do not believe this to be a light bulb issue (as implied by the dealership's service department) and I am concerned for the safety of anyone who may also encounter this problem.

Premature burnout on the low beams. Replaced the bulbs 3 times in less than 2 years. Passenger side the first time, both the second time (9 months) and now the driver side again (6 months).

The low beams keep burning out. I replaced them and they worked fine. Last time I went to replace the passenger side low beam the bulb wasn't burned out. Changed it out anyway but the passenger side lowbeam still won't come on. I've changed the bulbs 4 times in this car already.

Bought used car in September 2015 have had to replace low beams multiple time. Driver side low beam replaced once. Passenger side low beam have replaced 3 times. I have seen other Jetta's with the same problem.

In traffic, the single low tone horn on the Jetta is barely audible. The vw dealer service manager says the horn is standard, and acceptable to them and will not replace it. Is a vehicle horn a safety issue? yes. If the horn does not give out sound which is audible on the roadway, what good is it? why is a horn required for a vehicle inspection sticker? why not just install a bicycle jingle horn? there are horns that are loud, after market. The Jetta horn is weak and dangerous. Plus, it is not loud enough to be heard in a parking lot when looking for your vehicle, which is another safety issue for women at night.
