Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe Problems of Volkswagen Jetta

Intake manifold limited warranty extension number vwp-20-03. This warranty extension is for certain 2015 model year Volkswagen tiguan, cc and eos with engine codes cbfa and ccta. I have a 2013 vw Jetta gli with an engine code of ccta that is experiencing the same manifold failures as the above mentioned bulletin. I have called vw and they state my car would not be included in this extended warranty. After doing much research on the vw forum, this is a common problem for several year, makes and models concerning the faulty intake manifold runner flap that plagues so many thousands of gen1 2. 0t tsi engines. The linkage within the intake manifold runner flap that connects to the vacuum actuated arm can break at it's drive hex, and allows the lever arm to "pop" out of the intake manifold, sometimes creating a massive air leak while becoming disconnected from the drive hex. By simply pushing the lever arm back into the intake manifold, the drive hex reconnects to the linkage and will operate the tumble flaps but it will continue to blow open again once under boost, creating a massive air leak. This failure event is so common that aftermarket parts manufacturers have designed a fix/prevention kit to the common faulty intake manifold runner flap linkage. Previously the only repair was to replace the entire intake manifold, costing hundreds in parts and labor. Vw needs to perform further containment actions that identifies other models and years that are affected by the factory installed faulty manifold and they should be held responsible to bear the burden of the costs associated with this common issue by way of extending the manifold warranty to other makes such as golf (v, vi), Jetta (v, vi,) and passat b6. .

Second failure of intake manifold. Vw has admitted to a manufacturing defect but only extended warranty. Had the manifold replaced at 50,000 miles roughly. Unit failed again at 150,000 miles. I dont believe they originally fixed the problem. Vw is placing high cost on owners to replace after 120,000 miles. Repair runs higher than $800. 00. Failure to replace this part can deem the car unsafe.

2016 Jetta se1. 4 new for 18 year old son for college. Within a week car was in the shop with electrical issues for lighter and usb shorting out phone + radar while the car was driving. No issue found we drove 1000+miles to school, center console would blink on and off during the trip. New dealer also did not find any issues. Car then started shutting off while driving under 5 mph in traffic in nyc. When coming out of the driveway the rear view camera turned off, the car turned off. Vw was called they had him turn off the power by holding the pushbutton and break which restarted the car. New dealer still no issue found. The car continues to loose power all except auxiliary several incidents very unsafe. Was going up a hill and the car shifted into neutral and started rolling back, applied the handbreak the back wheels locked and the car stopped thankfully it was at night and no traffic. Two days later at jfk in the arrival line the car shut off while creeping forward. Took it to another new dealer they kept the car for one week, no issue found. Issues conitued now including slipping out of gear revving to 8000rpm, having to push far down for the break to engage. All the lights turn off while driving intermittently very unsafe. Took it to new dealer they found no issue I refused to pick it up and called vw corp they had them drive the car for 50 miles finally an error message. They replaced the transmission cylinoid. It is still having issues. The car overheated and the electrical stopped working. He smelled the coolant threw the vents he was about to pull over when the car reved to 8000 rpm and dropped out of gear so he pulled over and slowed down the lights and radio turned off. When he looked the exhaust manifold was glowing red. The car took an hr to cool down and electrical to come back. Back to the dealer again no issues again called vw corp for complaint.

Attempted to start my car on a cold day with low fuel. The engine was jumpy and didn't start. I waited and attempted again and was able to get it started, drove 500 feet to the gas station, filled with diesel. The light then came on after I started it again. I checked the code, p2015. I took my vehicle to dorschel vw in henrietta, NY. They confirmed the code said the intake manifold needed to be replaced. Saying the flap is damaged and then switching to say the runner is damaged. Most of the tsi engines have had their warranty extended, but not for my tdi. There are lots of others complaining of this code popping up.

Driver was being poisoned by carbon monoxide while driving the vehicle due to a exhaust leak. Driver became ill at least 2 weeks ago but possibly has been experiencing milder symptoms for longer. Car is at dealer service and they are replacing the muffler.

P2015 - intake manifold position fault. Intake manifold valve malfunctions and sticks causing a severely rough idle and engine stall. The car was attempted to be started after sitting overnight in a garage. The car successfully turned over, but was in a very rough idle for a few seconds before stalling. Car could not be run continuously at all at this point. This problem began to occur around 80,000 miles, with no initial performance impact, but the part ultimately had to be replaced at 88,000 miles when the incident described above occurred.

Camshaft failure due to excessive wear on a vehicle with 160,000 miles despite using vw recommended 505. 01 specification oil and regular maintenance. Engine developed a rattling noise at highway speed, decreased performance, excessive black smoke coming out of tail pipe, and $1500 repair bill. Dual mass transmission flywheel failure on a vehicle with 120,000 miles resulted in rattling noise in the transmission, vibration of the whole vehicle and $1200 repair bill. Both of these issues are widespread. Multiple owners of this year/make/model have experienced these exact same issues due to poor quality parts originally installed by the manufacturer. Manufacturer should recall the affected vehicles and fix these issues due to them being widespread. There are numerous discussions on public forums of these issues as well.

Engine light came on, I had my mechanic do a 120,000 mile service and diagnose the dash engine light and the intake manifold was replaced. When I picked the car up I smelled diesel. I drove it 13 miles, when I got home I smelled diesel again. I opened the hood and there was diesel all over the left engine side. There was a wet, split fuel line, leaking fluid in the parking lot, a blue plastic set small rings (like the olympic symbol) sat near the split hose. It could have caused a fire, and other cars to be in danger from slick road, among other things.

The problem is the intake manifold and the intake valves stuck from excessive carbon buildup. It was replaced in Feb 2011 and now needs replacing again. Problem is, now I'm out of the warranty period and the dealer is saying I would have to pay for this myself. They also added that there was only a 1 year warranty for the first time this was replaced in Feb 2011. There have been many complaints on the intake manifold and no recall from Volkswagen. If the decarbonization had been done when the intake manifold had been replaced the first time, this would have never happened again.

I was told by the vw dealership that there is known defect with the motor that is part of the air intake manifold which causes the valves to stick and not allow the proper mixture of air/gas, causing the engine to misfire. . . . At times, the misfire can be intense and could possibly cause someone to lose control of their vehicle ("bucking sensation"). I found many threads on the internet regarding the vw Jetta (2. 0t engine) and a problem with the air intake manifold, but yet, vw has never issued a recall for the problem.

The contact owns a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta. While the vehicle was parked the contact was removing an item from the trunk when she was burned on the calf of her left leg by the muffler. The contact stated the muffler was extended outward too far causing her to come in contact with it. The contact had to go to the doctor for the burn. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

First incident in July 2011 but same ongoing issue and at the dealership at least 8 times in 11 months. Currently at the dealership again for almost 3 weeks now. Its always the same "symptoms" but always told its another problem. . . . . As follows: -sputters and jerks -exhaust or gas fumes overcome the car -engine revs but the car wont move, then jolts forward. -stalls when trying to start, it jerks violently making a putting noise as if it can't get fuel then dies. -there's a beeping noise coming from something in the engine when it stalls that no one seems to know what it is. I have replaced: -intake manifold -all fuel sensors -low pressure fuel pump -high pressure fuel pump -melted fuses with unknown cause -two batteries -other smaller items related to fuel system.

After driving 800 highway miles from florida, with 400 miles left to go we stopped for the night. The next morning the car was bucking and refused to run. We added a fuel additive and manual shift in order to keep the car running and get it home. On Aug. 27th we changed the fuel filter and took the car for a test drive. The car stalled when going up a hill aprrox. 500 ft from house. It would not restart. The car was towed to the dealer on Aug. 28th and is still there on sept. 20th. So far they have replaced the fuel in the tank and the fuel filter, and the egr valve was replaced. The car is still running sluggish and bucking. They can't find out what is wrong with it. Next they want to take apart the intake manifold even though they are not sure that is the problem. The car is a 2005 and half Jetta diesel with 63,000 miles on it. The car is unsafe to drive and is the car I depend on to take my children back & forth to school (a 20 mile trip one way).

The contact owns a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving 2-60 mph, the vehicle would not accelerate when she depressed the accelerator pedal. The contact had to release then reapply the accelerator pedal. The repair shop stated that the egr cooler clogged the intake manifold. The intake manifold was cleared. The contact drove approximately twenty miles, and then noticed smoke coming from under the hood. The contact took the vehicle back to the repair shop and they stated that the egr leaked. The failure mileage was 87,000 and the current mileage was 92,000.

Warranty work performed did not resolve problem but served only to allow warranty to expire.

The air coming out of my 2001 Volkswagen Jetta's air conditioning unit started to smelling like melted crayons and engine fumes. A few weeks later, the air conditioner broke down, and I took it to get repaired at deel Volkswagen in miami. I told the service agent that the car also had a terrible smell of car fumes and to please check that. The next day, I received a service repair quote for $1,300 that included the replacement of the battery fuse box, main fan, a/c fan and fan module. The parts were replaced in the car on 10/22/2004. When I picked up the car, I noticed that the a/c had the same engine fumes smell, and told the service person, ricardo wilder, that the a/c still smelled the same. He told me that all Jetta's smelled the same, and that I should drive it for several weeks to let the newly replaced parts do their job. It is now April, 2005 and the car still strongly smells like engine fumes. At the end of my driving day, my clothes and the inside of thee car smell like engine fumes. I now drive with the windows and moon roof open and with the a/c off in order to fight the strong smell. I strongly believe that whatever this smell is, it is detrimental to my health.

Exhaust pipe extends underneath the bumper, revealing raw edge of pipe. Consumer sustained injury to the hand when washing vehicle, injury may also be sustained if brushing against the bumper parallel\horizontally. Consumer called Volkswagen America #44730.

The mass air flow sensor went out after they replaced the oxygen sensor and they want $550. 00 to replace the sensor which I believe is their problem this is an ongoing problem with the 1999 Jetta, and I feel they should replace it at no cost a car that is not even 3 years old should not need a new mass air flow sensor. I am very unhappy with vw and I will never buy another or recommend them to anyone.

While applying the accelerator pedal vehicle failed to move. Consumer applied the accelerator pedal numerous times and the vehicle suddenly accelerated. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove the vehicle to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that the engine needed cleaning due to intake manifold being clogged with carbon.
