Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen owners have reported 1 problem related to electrical failure (under the electrical system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
At 500 miles exactly, I heard a single click while driving. A quick scan of the instruments showed that the odometer read 500 miles and was not increasing, of course the trip odometer and fuel consumption displays also failed without any input from the odometer. Dealer diagnosed problem and said the instrument cluster needed to be replaced however there were none in stock and Volkswagen of America does not have any replacements. Either. The vehicle runs perfectly so far but reading through other complaints at NHTSA I'm concerned about taking a planned 1200 mile trip not knowing whether a catastrophic electrical failure might leave me stranded. The dealer said Volkswagen has no idea when the units will be available. It could be months and it's not clear if the replacement will solve the problem or how long it will last.
