I drove home from work and the car was perfectly fine. I pulled into my garage parked and turned the car off. The next morning I got into my car to go to work. I started the vehicle and put it in reverse and the vehicle did not move after I let off the brake. So I shifted the car back into park and as soon as I let off the brake the vehicle violently jerked forward and then the entire car and electrical system shut off.
The contact owns a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid. The contact stated that the vehicle was left with the headlights on for four days. When the vehicle was jumpstarted, the anti-lock brake system, air bags, and tire pressure monitoring system indicators illuminated for hours before dimming. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the sensor that controlled the hybrid function of the vehicle was not working. The vehicle was not repaired for the recent failure. The contact also stated that the vehicle was repaired for the same failures eight months ago by david maus Volkswagen south (5474 s orange blossom trail, orlando, FL 32839). The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 112,000.
Started the car and chimes started randomly going off. . . . Then suddenly, while traveling, the abs, lites, hybrid, tire pressure, and air bag lites all came on and the car started jerking as if the brakes were being jammed.
During driving conditions the vehicle stalls then speeds up almost causing a crash into the car ahead of me. Sometimes when braking, the vehicle surges while my foot is on the brake. The vw dealer diagnosed it as corrosion of the control module within the gearbox. This was the exact problem the car was recalled for under vw recall number 34f6/4v in November 2013. The car was brought in in Dec. 2013 per the recall to change the gearbox oil but only had a 12 month warranty. Now, the corrosion caused the same problem that the recall tried to prevent. The recall did not correct the problem. The cost to fix is $8500! since it outside the warranty period, vw will not pay. This is a clear safety issue that vw needs to correct. The recall fix of changing the type of gearbox oil did not stop the corrosion which damaged the control module.
The hybrid system drive has failed, fuel door actuator part that was recommended is incorrect in their system. I think they have difficult issues with reading my VIN because my car actually has numerous recalls but aren't seen. Emission repairs have been done and not resolved. After those repairs by vw dealership under warranty, the hybrid system failed and now does not engage the electric motor.
