Tire Problems of Volkswagen Jetta - part 1

The tire went flat as I was driving and when I had to change the tire I noticed that the tire had blown out on the sidewall on the inside of the rim of the car. The car only has 12,000 miles and I had a tire rotation done on my first oil change. I called the dealership to see if the tire was covered under warranty since I brought the car new for steve white vw of greenville, SC. They told me since I didn’t buy a warranty with the purchase of the car then it was nothing they could do about it. I brought a car thinking that the tires should be good until they wear out not blow out. Also I have tpms light on as well as the check engine light is on in the vehicle. 205/55r17.

There were no preceding warning lights or tire pressure warnings before it happened. I pulled over and say that the sidewall blew out on both sides. There were no puncture marks on the tire that would have caused the blowout except for the sidewall failing.

My nephew changed my tire he said that I still am going to need a new one because he thought I a donut but I told him I have a full tire that it was not a donut and when he was done he told it wasn't. It was a full tire but again I figured maybe I was did not pay attention or I really did not see a full tire. When I got a flat on October 7th I did not want to bring my car back to palisade vw because they did not do a good job so I went back to where I got my car and they called and asked if I had my tires changed because the tires are not the one the car came with. I have never changed my tires and I did notice that they where different from when I got the car. Not only that but palisade mechanic stole my gas had a full tank both times and I got my car back with less then a1/4. Please please I am begging for help I am a waitress I do not have the money for this I can't even afford to get apt please help me I am begging you. I need this car to be safe because I live with my niece and I baby sit her kid in exchange for room and board. These people saw the car seat and did not care if I crashed my car and killed the baby or any one else for that matter. Again I am begging for your help.

My 2010 vw tdi sportwagon eats up the inside of the tires, very quickly. I just purchased my fifth set of tires for a car with less than 70,000 miles on it. I've had the alignment checked three times, and it continually shows to be within specs. The first two times, I had a vw dealership check the alignment, and both times they told me there was nothing they could do. I just had a private mechanic check the alignment, and he said I couldn't have a more perfect alignment, according to vw's specs. The last set of tires I purchased were rated for 55,000 miles, but I only got 15,000 out of them before the insides were worn down into the belts. This is a very dangerous situation since the rest of the tire looks new, and unless you get the car up on a lift, or lay down on the ground to deliberately look at the inside of the tires, you cannot see the damage taking place, and placing the operator in a situation where a blow-out can occur without warning. Plus, not to mention the extremely high cost of tire purchases to operate this vehicle.

I own a 2006 vw Jetta tdi and have 30,000 miles on the vehicle. I noticed at about 25,000 miles the vehicle developed a vibration in the front end. I took it to the vw dealer and had the front end inspected for problems, but none noted. I had the wheel rotated and balanced and that did not help the problem. The tech at vw dealer noticed wear in the middle of the tire. He stated that my tires (turanza el 400-02, 205/55r16) are more than likely the cause of the vibration and there is nothing they could do except replace all the tires. Will be taking the vehicle to a firestone dealer soon to fight the battle with them.

The complaint is regarding the tires of the Jetta vw that we purchased in 2004/2005 model. The tire that falls under the driver side at the top continues to loose weight considerably compared to the other tires. It is not that specific tire, because I have rotated all four tires and it happens to all tires. This has been happening for about six months now. I called the local vw dealership and they said its not their problem.

The original accident happened while we were traveling for christmas (Dec 26, 2006). In a brand new car with "up graded" continental tires going about 60 mph the tires disintegrated, the car spun out of control and hit highway wall. It was a clear tire malfunctioned and after sending tire to continental north America in charlotte, nc they said that their "inspectors" found no fault. We asked them to reconsider and ended up getting a $1,500 goodwill offer from them. Needless to say we had a rental car for 8 weeks while out car with $6,000 in damages was fixed. Just this week as we were about to counter offer and get at least out of pocket expenses, since its going into the 2nd year, another "upgraded tire" shredded. This time with our 4 month old son in it. The only thing extra they added to the claim was to pay for new tires for us. They have not bargained in good faith and they are using their corporate power to deflect the liability of producing inferior products. Of the original set of 4 "upgraded" tires, 3 have been replaced with 2 completely shredding through the middle.

Dry rot of all 4 douglas tires. During state inspection at Volkswagen dealership/repair in north greenbush NY - failed inspection due to all 4 tires being dry rotted.

This complaint is in reference to a flaw and misrepresentation of goodyear eagle LS 195/65 tires installed on a 2002 vw Jetta 1. 8t. He tires wear excessively, and caused me to lose traction in the rain and crash. The crash caused $7,800 in damage to my vehicle. The manufacturer misrepresents the tires as having excellent wet traction, and very durable tread wear. These tires should be investigated, as I have also herd of other complaints and will attempt to contact goodyear directly.

This car has had too many serious problems to be limited to this small space. It is clearly a lemon. These problems substantially impair the use and value of the vehicle. The car received a new transmission yesterday after we had reported 3 previous times that there it remained in reverse after shifting into drive. Each time we were told it was unreproduceable and the complaint was never noted on the work orders. Finally, the dealership did relent and replace the transmission. We encountered the same type of treatment with the engine burning oil, and it wasn't until the engine ran completely out of oil, that the dealer would address the problem. The first time we had complained about the oil was 2 months after we had bought the car!!!.

I was driving in a parking lot when I heard a crash and my car stopped moving. The front right tire had fallen off.

The coils on my 2002 Volkswagen Jetta GLS 1. 8t are burning out. Volkswagen of America has informed me that rather than replace all 4 coils, I must wait until each coil burns out before they will replace it. I have a letter from them as well stating they are aware of the problem but can not do anything more about it due to a lack of coils in stock. I guess the letter is a way to shut the customers up. Apparently this is happening to over 500,000 people last I heard. I want this complaint logged and a personal note added and directed to Volkswagen of America (if possible), "I will not renew my lease on this lemon and I will never purchase another Volkswagen again. " the coil issue is just one of the issues I'm having with this vehicle. The date below is the last time I went in for coil replacement and got to work late.
