general problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta - part 2

While exiting an interstate onto a city street, I applied the brakes. As the Jetta slowed to about 15 mph, it experienced a sudden acceleration. The cause of this sudden acceleration is unknown. The sudden acceleration consisted of the engine increasing it's rev with a resulting increase in the speed of the vehicle. I applied the brakes harder and was able to bring the Jetta to almost a complete stop, however, the engine continued to rev at a high speed. I placed the Jetta in neutral and the engine's revving decreased to normal range. I placed the Jetta in drive and had no further problems. The next day I took the Jetta to my mechanic who ran a diagnostic program. No problem was identified. I have not experienced another episode of sudden acceleration.

The vehicle skipped regularly when leaving a stop light. After a long trip requiring a significant amount of stop and go due to holiday traffic, the check engine light and hybrid malfunction system error lights came on. When I took it in to be checked, the dealership informed me that the transmission would need to be replaced. This seems to coincide with the errors that were part of a safety recall for other vw Jetta hybrids made in the same year as mine. However my vehicle did not fall under the same recall. The vehicle has less than 60k miles. I have done my research and it does appear that other 2014 Jetta hybrids have similar issues and are also not covered under the recall.

The vehicle failed to move after entering into gear both reverse and drive. It was repaired by a vw dealership and a year later the same problem has occurred. Based on previous research it appears it may be part of a recall due to transmission issues. Had to pay over $7,000 for the repair.

My vehicle started flashing the engine light. Then its started stalling. I turned it off ,waited a couple minutes and it was fine to drive but still had the engine light on. Nothing happened until the next day, the engine light wasnt on anymore. As I was driving at 70 mph it started stalling again. Took it to a shop and they told me I had a couple of codes on. It was cleared just to make sure it wasnt something else. After about 100 miles of driving the engine light turned on again and the car started stalling again at around 65mph. I changed the spark plugs and the spark plug wires. Runs great until another 100miles of driving, it started stalling at around 75mph.

I was one the hook for about $940 a labor costs to get a new one replaced in my car so it can run. When I searched on google, I came to find out that the mechtronic unit failure is a known issue with this model and year of the Volkswagen Jetta hybrid and is due to it's faulty design. There was a recall however, it does not include my particular VIN. I am hoping that someday the recall is expanded to include my VIN as this has happened with several other 2014 Volkswagen Jetta hybrids. Very expensive thing to have fail so early in the life of the car.

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.

Volkswagen 38b9/9v recall my Volkswagen Jetta has been diagnosed with the same isssue that the car has been recalled for. I've taken it to vw dealership but they said my car does not qualify for the recall. After researching I've found that the recall affects 2014 Jettas with a 1. 8t engine, with the qualifying month and year of manufacture date (April, 2014). My car has a manufacture date of April 2014, although my specific VIN number was not included in the recall. I am wondering why it wasn't listed, as the dates match up and the issue is exactly the same. This is causing a major issue in my car and is causing a leak that can result in an engine fire, which is an obvious safety issue. My car is having severe transmission problems now and has completely stopped numerous times at red lights, without allowing me to even put it in park, which has almost caused me to be in a few accidents. The rpms are going crazy, I am experiencing rough idling, trouble in shifting gears, and the transmission has been leaking and overheating. It also has trouble sometimes accelerating on the highway or on city streets.

I purchased my vehicle brand new in June 2014 and I've kept up with all routine maintenance to date. I drive an average 30 miles per day during the work week and travel up to 140 miles every two weeks or so for custodial exchanges. This past weekend (August 13, 2016), while at a routine pit stop for gas my vehicle's transmission gave out. I had parked at the gas station right off the highway. When I went to restart my vehicle it wouldn't move. The vehicle would start and shift into drive, but the wheels responded as if it were in neutral. There was a recall for this issue back in 2013 when the vw Jetta went on the market, but the recall did not involve my VIN. The recall was not disclosed to me at the time I purchased the vehicle, nor was I ever notified of it being a potential issue. I found out the hard way when I was left stranded 70 miles from home and 45 miles from the nearest vw dealership. My researched turned up this statement: "an electric malfunction could occur in the gearbox power supply based on the synthetic gearbox oil if the vehicle is subject to a hot and humid climate, coupled with a high proportion of stop-and-go driving," said mark gillies, a Volkswagen of America spokesman, in a phone conversation. "the car works, but you lose drive. " my vehicle has 51,850 miles on it, so it was covered under vw's 5yr-60k warranty. It's been sitting at the vw dealership for 3 days while they coordinate on replacing the defective power train. The remaining estimated time for replacement is 2-3 days. I live in austin, TX where hot, humid, and stop-and-go are a routine part of life.

I was under the impression of buying a good car, when I purchase this vehicle on March 6 2015 I was never inform about the current recall #14v1820000, I purchase this vehicle brand new, even so is a 2014 model, also I took the car for service (June) I think and also I was never notified of a new recall that was issued on Jan 23 2015 recall #15v028000, and then I was never notified about the recent recall issued on Aug 04 2015, recall #15v483000, I would like to proceed and held vw CO responsible for any wrong doing since the vehicle can cost fire and is unsafe to drive, I'm a sr retired and would like held vw responsible for their product and because they sold me a car without disclosing the recalls on the vehicle. I bought the car in March 6 2015 brand new even so is a 2014 model. Again I should be given trhu information about the car status.

I have a 2014 gli autobahn with the paddle shifters and the sports mode option. Today I engaged the sports mode option and the vehicle's rpm were almost redlining but it will take awhile to feel the shifting on the trans. I am worried that this may be a problem to the trans on this vehicle. The second problem that I am having I believe is the suspension due to the smoothness of the vehicle is no longer their. I have not taken the vehicle to the dealership yet but will soon. Please advise if any others have complained about the same issues that I am having. Thanks.
