During this summer (2024), I got a warning with three beeps then warning lights came on, went off for a several months, and now have come on and stayed on (abs, traction control, brake, airbag, tire pressure). This has to be an issue with vw. There was close to 63,000 miles on the car at the time. Now there's only 64,000 miles on the car. The dealer service center couldn't really determine the cause but still quoted a repair of nearly $4,000.
My 2014 vw as many other 2014 models are experiencing the following according to my local dealership in miami: the abs module is defective effecting other systems and making the car unsafe to drive as it was in 2009 and 2010 models. Dealer repair estimate is between $2500 with $5000! vw should recall before people get hurt!.
When turning the car on with the clutch and brake depressed, the car will roll until the engine turns over and the car starts. The brake stops functioning as the ignition is turned and does not function until the car is on. The car will roll if on any incline while this happens. When this happens if I attempt to lift my foot off the brake and put it back to get it to work the brake pedal can no longer be depressed. Once the car is running the brake works and can be depressed again. This is a safety issue as it could cause a crash or car to roll into traffic. No lights or warning signs turn on when it happens. I'm not sure when this first happened but it has happened on multiple occasions.
Epc light randomly comes on when driving ,car goes limp and I’ve came close to have 3 accidents. Had car checked out at Volkswagen dealership and they said no repairs were needed . The epc continues to come on and off this is dangerous occurs multiple times.
Vw said it is the abs module. It appears they had this same problem in a previous recall. Safety recall 45f2 - abs control module software certain 2009-2010 model year Volkswagen vehicles they said any or all of the of the components represented by the warning lights may not work. With abs, traction control, brake & airbag potentially not working that could harm me & my occupants as well as other drivers on the road the component has not been replaced yet as it has taken 4weeks already for the part to come in. It is scheduled to be replaced 3/28/22 I got a warning with three beeps then warning lights come on & stay on (abs, traction control, brake, airbag, tpms).
Passenger side airbag not working/off notice along with abs off notice and underinflation notice all happened simultaneously upon starting car and remains on. Car only has been driven 18000 miles since new.
The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta. While the contact's daughter was driving at unknown speeds, the vehicle shook and the instrument panel lighting flashed. The driver depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to slow down or stop. As a result, the driver crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The driver sustained injuries to the left shoulder and back, which required medical attention. The injuries to the other vehicle occupants were unknown. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was awaiting diagnosis. Several weeks prior to the collision, the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the flashing instrumental panel lighting and intermittent starting issue. At that time, the vehicle was diagnosed as needing a new battery. The battery was replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
On July 5, 2015, the clutch failed. The clutch was depressed to downshift the car as we were approaching a turnpike off ramp. The gear selector was moved out of top gear and into neutral; the clutch would not return, and the gear selector would not move out of neutral. The car had to be maneuvered through traffic from the far left lane to the rights-side shoulder, in neutral. This put my family and everyone around us at risk of serious injury. There was no degradation of clutch system performance. This clutch failure came suddenly and without warning. I have read comments from others online who have experienced similar issues. Several months ago, the brake booster needed to be replaced. The dealership service manager suggested that the clutch issue could be related to the brake booster issue. My wife and I have driven manual transmission cars for years. This is the first clutch-related problem we've ever experienced.
When driving at highway speeds the brakes seem increasingly ineffective. I was in a fender bender due to weak braking in an emergency situation going approximately 60mph at a seemingly reasonable distance. There were absolutely no skid marks or tire squeals. It seemed that the harder I pressed the brake pedal the less effective the brakes were and I believe that brake pedal actually hit the floor. I have noticed the brakes felt spongy before when braking heavy. I have also noticed that when the car sits for an extended period of time the brake pedal feels rock hard for a little while after starting up. Does not feel safe!.
This issue now occurs every day. This vehicle has push button start, which means the brake pedal must be depressed before attempting to start the vehicle. When attempting to start the vehicle after it has been sitting for more than 3 hours, the brake pedal is extremely difficult to depress as there is pressure built up in the brake system. On the first dealer visit, the brake booster check valve was replaced under warranty. On the second visit, after sitting for a week, the dealer made no repairs and gave the vehicle back. They advised this is normal operation, to which I said it was not as this did not occur when vehicle was leased until about a month ago. Vw corporate was involved, which proved to be a lost cause, as they sided with the dealer. If someone were to try and start this vehicle and they were of smaller stature, they most likely would be unable to do so.
My headlights going of yesterday when I turn on I have to drive back home on dark road! this was very dissapointed situation since the dealer sell this car to me as a certified vehicle, also my car vibrates everytime that I breaking on the road that star happening right after I take the car oout of the dealer!.
