This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The vehicle is stationary and in park. The key will not turn in the ignition, even to start the car. When the car can be started, and is running and placed in park, the key will not come out of the ignition and the car is difficult to turn off. The key is often locked in the ignition with no way of removing it.
Vehicle key gets stuck in the ignition while starting and shutting off the vehicle. This happens every time someone else other than I, the owner attempts to turn off the vehicle. I have had to wiggle the key a certain way to turn it off. At this point even so cannot turn the vehicle off and had to leave it running even while pumping gas. I have read numerous reviews on this same issues with other vehicles of this make and model. I do not understand why Volkswagen has not recalled this vehicle to fix this issue. My vehicle is currently still running and my hands are scratched from attempting to turn off my vehicle. Fix this.
Key will not come out of ignition. Received a letter for an "extended" warranty on the issue but while I was under 10 years old, my car was over the allotted mileage. I've been told this is a $700 issue. This should be a recall because it is a known issue with many of their cars during these years.
My cosine and I have a 2012 and a 2013 VW. Jetta that has and had the same problems. His first. P0011 code. The symptoms check engine light, the engine has a hard start condition, reduction in fuel mileage, the engine runs rough, hesitate, or stall. P0011 code definition camshaft position 'a' - timing over-advanced or system performance (bank 1) at first car or cars did not give warning or light on, then while on the street they started shaking. Wen at stop lights they stalled, hard time restarting, up on change of light it reacts slow to get up to regular speed, sluggish, knocking, my cousin toke the 2013 Jetta to a VW. Dealer and got charged around $3,000.I'm looking for another option., or recall.
The car runs great for about 5-10 miles and then the epc light comes on and the car loses power and runs at idle speed. Replaced np 80 sensor and evap canister, cleaned throttle body and it still happens. Car lunges forward at times. I'll pull over, shut it off and then it drives fine, then the light comes on again. Apparently this has been happening to a lot of people. Took it to the dealership and they just gave me a bunch of costly repair recommendations but no definitive answer.
I am now having to replace the ignition switch for the second time since buying it certified used 2 years ago from herzog& meier. The problem is the key is stuck in on, the only way to kill the car or turn off is to disconnect the battery.. this seems to be a problem the dealership and VW know about but have not recalled. Research how many people have this problem.. this should be a recall....
Vehicle ignition switch not turning, key getting locked. Per university volkswagon and uptown volkswagon in albuquerque New Mexico, they see this issue on a consistent basis, however, there has been no recall issued. Fix is $650-$800 plus tax. 2012 Jetta tdi cannot start car - key stuck 2014 Jetta cannot turn off car hundreds of topics of discussion on the internet regarding this issue.
A/C cooling inconsistently and not cooling to the level that it once did. Learned other vws, like mine, were having the same issue. Needed electronic pressure regulator valve and A/C expansion valve
