Twice while driving the vehicle would not shift then stall. Once it also started to shake, won't go over 30 mph. Its exactly as what is described in recall 19V866, however my VIN doesn't seem to qualify for this recall. Quote is over 5K - when my vehicle diagnostic ran, there are 3 recalls showing, however when I put my VIN in, it shows 0. there's also a new recall for this exact issue - but haven't heard anything regarding my specific VIN

Ignition is hard to turn. The key wiil not turn off the engine. The only way to get the ignition to turn off is to physically/aggressivley snap, flick, or jiggle it to turn off the engine. The engine is in park when the incidents occur. During a google search, there are numerous complaints of this occuring. There is a current recall of the microswitch causing ignition issues, yet ignition cylinder is not included.

Went to start the vehicle last week, it started, rpms jumped between 3-4, then the engine died. Had it towed to a mechanic, where he stated the tensioner with the timing chain caused major damage with the engine and the engine needs to be replaced. I've read there was a class action lawsuit over this specific issue, but the timeframe has passed. My check engine light never came on and I never received anything in the mail stating there was an issue with this. If I had, I would of taken it to have it looked at. I would like Volkswagen to replace my engine, free of cost, or take the vehicle back.

I was told that my transmissions had a recall and when I called there were no open recalls for them I've been having a problem recently where my car was going from electric to gasoline which caused my car to stall and then when I pressed on the gas my car would not go but the car would still be on with no dash bored lights on they come on and then they turn off. I asked if they can look at what was replaced and they said it would charge me an expensive amount to pay per hour which is crazy! when I first got the car there were a lot of codes that they completely erased from the car the day after I got it from another owner I was already having issues and she called and asked just there was no available slots then too. What my car is doing is dangerous and it's scary I don't even want to drive it at this point and I only had it since March 13th if this year and the recall was done in February the one guy told me and I'm the beginning he told me January and they won't do nothing about it my E mode won't come on anymore and when my car is in stationary it jerks continuously.

The timing chain needs to be replaced. The repair will cost more than the car is worth. The is a lawsuit for this issue going on now. However, my VIN number is supposedly not part of it. I do no see why I have to pay for what is a clear manufacturing issue for the make model and year of this car?

My 2013 VW Jetta hybrid has 68000 miles on it and it keeps stalling while driving. Multiple times it stopped on freeway. There is a recall from VW and reason for recall is mechatronics unit failure. The failure of mechatronics unit causes low transmission oil and clutch slippage both of which can cause damage to the vehicle transmission. VW service says there is some internal oil leak and problem is not of mechatronic unit and I have to pay for replacing transmission.iam not provided with any specific details on the transmission failure. They say, "it's an internal failure", "its unrelated to the mechatronics", and "there are cracks on transmission". they have also said that they will not repair the mechatronics unit without me replacing the transmission because the mechatronics unit would have been damaged because of damaged transmission. There are so many problems with my VW. VW service is not giving clear picture.when there is recall and my vehicle VIN shows that it has mechatronic recall why iam asked to pay for transmission? VW service is refusing to repair my vehicle for the recall mechatronic unit and they ask me to pay for replacing the transmission.

My Jetta SE 2013 keeps stalling while driving. It happened since I bought it and took it to the dealership a couple of times, and nothing wrong was found. It has happened a few times during the highway and almost have been in a couple of deadly accidents. This has also happened while driving in regular streets at about 30-40mph.I have been reading that this is a common issue, but so far VW has not done anything about it. Also, both headlights are not working anymore. It seems might be an issue with some sensors, but nothing that they have been able to identify.

Hybrid emotor (electronic traction motor ) fails at 100K miles. Can cause sudden failure and fire. VW does not consider this part as pzev and does not follow California pzev law.

For the last 30,000 miles my vehicle has sporadically stalled out or shuddered heavily as if it was about to stall while driving at low speeds or accelerating. This month however, my vehicle stalled out and completely lost power for a few seconds while driving at low speed in heavy traffic on the interstate. Each time I was driving straight and not turning was involved. My transmission has been replaced twice and each time this did not solved the issue. These incidents keep increasing in severity and occur randomly so I do not know when to expect. I feel unsafe when these instances occur.

The engine will shut off when car is in traffic or coming to stop. Engine RPM will go to zero and power steering and power braking is lost.

- Prairie Village, KS, USA

Driving on city street, the engine quit. There was no power and the auto had to be towed to a repair station. Repair was JX1 power electronic output model which was coded and adapted to vehicle. :(per brunswick auto mart document). It would appear that this vehicle engine electronic control module failed. If the failure happened on a highway during high volume of traffic a serious issue would occur.

I have a VW 2013 Jetta with approx 65,000 miles on the vehicle. With in the last two weeks, my vehicle's engine just stopped while driving down the freeway in phoenix, AZ. I am driving at the flow of traffic and when I slow down and eventually come to a stop the engine shuts off. The first two times there was no lights that turned on on the display pane. Last Saturday while driving to the airport to pick up my wife again the engine shuts off as described, but this time, it appeared all the lights were on the panel. I had to put the hazard lights, put it on park to start the vehicle. I currently have the vehicle at larry millers for inspection and told them we have a safety issue with the vehicle.
