general problems of the 2015 Volkswagen Jetta

The turbocharger is out. I've had problems with coolant leaking. Mechanic pressurized tank, its fine. While parked coolant disappears, evaporates, idk. . Nothing leaking on ground. Now smoke coming out of exhaust. Car has 56,000 miles.

I’ve been experiencing intermittent start failures with my 2015 Volkswagen Jetta. The issue typically occurs after driving short distances, turning off the engine, and attempting to restart the vehicle within 15–45 minutes. The dashboard lights stay on, but the engine fails to crank. After extended wait times (1–3 hours or more), it will sometimes start again. A diagnostic scanner showed dtc im 00, indicating an immobilizer system malfunction, meaning the car isn’t recognizing the key properly. I’ve tested both keys and various conditions (locked/unlocked, sun/shade, full/low gas tank), and the issue continues to be unpredictable. When the car was towed to the dealership, they were unable to replicate the problem since it started by the time they checked it, and they were unwilling to investigate the immobilizer issue without charging me for a wide range of unrelated tests. This is becoming a safety issue, especially if the vehicle stalls or won’t restart in isolated areas or during hot conditions. It is not acceptable for a known electronic security feature to randomly disable the vehicle from functioning.

I purchased a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta from north coast auto mall on March 19, 2023 and the following day several issues went wrong with the vehicle like: the car reeked of gasoline, oil and engine lights came on, driver side head light blew out. Also, I was told that the car had an inspection, come to find out they didn't do an inspection by north coast service manager, so they lied. Also, the reason for the gasoline smell is because the vehicle needs a fuel rack, oil pan, oil pressure switch, and a new headlight. Too many things are going wrong with this car in such a short period of time. It took north coast two weeks to take my vehicle and they didn't want to give me a loaner car. Also, they have had my vehicle since March 28, 2023 and refuse to disclose of the reconditioning shop of my vehicle. They moved my car from Volkswagen of streetsboro to north coast to another undisclosed location that they won't disclose. Lastly, the car was unsafe for me and my special needs son. He couldn't even ride in my car due to the bad gasoline fumes and I had to ride with the windows down, and come to find out the car could have caught on fire or exploded.

Car cut off twice while driving and could not be restarted for 14 - 25 minutes. This happened while driving. I took it to both an independent mechanic and a vw dealer, bit they were unable to diagnose the issue. Also, after being driven, intermittently the car will not start for 15 - 25 min. Other drivers are also having this issue. . Read more...

You will be driving the car and it will shut off with no warning. You can not steer th ecat you have no brakes.

Car is randomly bucking and or hesitating. Many times in the middle of a busy intersection, and kills the engine. I'm going to get killed if this continues to happen. Its been doing this for months.

My car has a keyless push start button and now has a sluggish start.

I am writing to advise you of a potential safety issue with the design of the Volkswagen Jetta. I own a 2015 Jetta. After a heavy rain, and usually after passing through standing water, the car loses power and stalls. This has happened on three occasions recently. I first took the car to my own mechanic, an experienced technician with a major repair franchise. He was unable to pinpoint the problem. When the problem recurred, I took it back and he again tested it but was unable to say for sure what the problem was. However, he noted that there was an air intake in the front end that might have taken in water and caused the issue. I then took the car to the dealership (burlington Volkswagen) and they were also unable to diagnose the problem. However, the mechanic there also indicated that it might be due to water entering the air intake in the front end. It seems to me that this would be a design flaw that could lead to an accident due to the sudden loss of power steering. The dealership advised me not to drive through puddles, which is obviously not a practical solution. I then asked Volkswagen customer care to look into the problem. The only option the representative there offered was for me to take the car to another vw deaiership, which I am unwilling to do at my personal expense. I am worried about my own and my wife's safety when driving in the rain, but Volkswagen is basically telling me that they can't find a problem so they can't fix it. I would be glad to work with you on this issue, and I have attached the vw mechanic's report.

Car won't pull. It start off good. Then it loses pressure and drops to 30 miles an hour.

Putting a new battery in every month start push start button will not work airbag light off and on front headlights parking lights blow every 2 weeks.

Acceleration falls flat unexpectedly off the line. Ever since the re-program of the tdi affected vehicles the car will accelerate quickly at first when given good throttle (70%+), but then all of a sudden at 30-40mph or so it will totally fall flat all of a sudden, and dangerously so. It just completely loses power, and being a diesel, it decelerates fairly quickly. I have had numerous times where it's happened, so much so, I know better than to even try anymore. When pulling out in chicago traffic this can definitely bite you in the rear. It almost seems worse in �sport� mode also. I sold these cars for almost 8yrs and I never drove one that acted like this. I think they need new programs, the current ones are not only weak, but dangerous.

This vehicle's VIN report shows no open recalls. Yet I smell fuel in the cabin and have on multiple occasions seen evidence of fuel leaked on the ground. Other 2015 Jettas do have recalls for a fuel rail leak. My vehicle appears to have the same safety issue. I believe my vehicle should also be included in the safety recall. I ask you to include it in the existing safety recall. Thank you.

I purchased this vehicle less than one month ago and am concerned about the listed recalls. My vehicle falls within the specifications as listed on the recalls, however, my vehicle returns a search of no open recalls. My biggest concern is the fuel system recall. On four separate occasions, since I have owned the vehicle, I have smelled gasoline both while at an idle and just after turning off the ignition. Your assistance with this matter is appreciated.
