    Vw 2010 tdi - radio dead. Completely went black, unresponsive. Discovered wrong fuse in line with radio - 15a when it should have been 10a according to spec. This over time caused the radio to fry. Vw of a doesn't care about this issue and gives the standard reply that it is not under warranty. A 5 year old vehilce, with 100k miles - the radio should not be failing at this age, further, this is a 1000+$ fix.…

    While the vehicle was in motion, the speakers made a loud pop and the entire stereo system stopped working (radio was not on). This included bluetooth and all hands-free functions for communication. Though the radio is not a safety issue, the bluetooth hands free function is vital, and it will not work. I've called vw and had it looked at, and learned that vw is aware that many of their 2010 vw jettas were made with…

    I purchased a 2010 vw jetta just over a year ago at this point. I loved it at first, it's a clean diesel. Within 3-4 months of owning it the stereo has gone out. Vw has chosen to ignore this issue even though it's a known issue! It's draining batteries, causing electrical and fuse issues which could lead to substantially more dangerous issues in the future. Please help those of us who are fighting this battle. It's…

    Dsg mechatron unit failure: vehicle had multiple check engine light displays. The light would come on, then go off for some time and the dealer kept telling me it was probably a gas cap issue. Finally after about 4-8 times of this happening i advised the dealer i was brining it in to get looked at. Dropped the vehicle off on sept 8th and they have no idea when the part will come in. Have said it may be november 7th,…

    Vehicle stumbles usually within the first couple of miles of travel after starting the vehicle. Usually occurs during mild acceleration and around 30-45 mph. Vehicle does this very often. I have read much about this problem on line and have been waiting to hear about a fix for the problem. Sounds like vw has still not offered up a solution to the problem after many months so i now wish to file this complaint. I had…

    The left turning signal blinks when using the right turning signal. Sometimes nothing happens when using the right turning signal. Sometimes the left turning signal blinks a few times before the right turning signal blinks. This is intermittent with no indication when it will happen. Often it will occur on regular basis for a few months, then start working normal again for a few months.

    1. The horn is hard to press, and slow to react. A few times i needed to use for safety and almost was involved in accident as horn does not work properly. 2. When pressing the horn, one has to put more than adequate pressure. Once it is pressed, there is a delay of about a second before the horn blows. It occurs every time it's pressed. This is a safety issue as the horn is a good tool to alert other drivers to…
