Volkswagen Jetta

"The entire CD/Radio unit failed. In checking you tube reports on this problem I discovered that this unit is a piece of junk. People choose to use an after market replacement and this is not an inexpensive item."

"CD player stopped working. Too expensive to replace."

"These other problems are all related to the first problem."

"It stopped working"

"My comment is the same as the comment for the radio."

"Randomly the screen goes completely white and only resets if the car is turned off for a few minutes then turned back on. The dealership says they can't diagnose it without seeing the car while the problem is occurring"

"RADIO DISPLAY DIED. OUT OF WARRANTY COST $900 TO REPLACE RADIO. after COMPLAINING TO VW US, VW PAID HALF!"

"Randomly the screen will turn white and not react to any input"

"Display screen went blank 8 months ago. Radio and CD player no longer work. Electrical problem w short in system. Advised by VW that it would be best to get aftermarket system installed."

"Head unit failure due to internal communication failure. Telephone still worked but no CD, Aux, Radio, Satellite, etc."

"It is the worst navigation system ever and it is not $2 let alone the $1700 they charge for it"

"It connects fine just the quality of my speaker makes it very difficult to have a conversation"

"VW Dealer charged a $100 deductible fee for each time I had the radio/blue tooth serviced even while under warranty"

"I don't have a problem with pairing. The people I call on my cell phone can't hear me but I can hear them. I have taken it back many times without being fixed"

"GPS navigation on phone does not always link up with stereo even if Bluetooth is paired. Sometimes navigation will be announced over speakers but never had any problem with the hands free call features"

"Bluetooth unit failed just after warranty expiration. Dealer replaced the unit for 50% non-warranty cost. Fair"

"The radio suddenly died. It was not reparable, and the replacement cost about $700"

"Stopped working"

"Radio suddenly died. Warranty replacement from VW"

"SAME AS FIRST ISSUE"

"Parked the car at night, radio was working. Started the car up the next morning, and it was completely dead. VW would have charged my hundreds to diagnose, and then I'd have to replace with factory radio. Instead, I replaced with a Pioneer AVIC-600"

"Stopped working. had to have entire radio replaced"

"OEM Radio failed. Purchased a replacement and installed it myself for half the cost the dealer wanted"

"Radio went dead on trip - was not any of fuses (including internal fuse). Radio hooked to blue tooth and many other systems = problems. Cost for "rebuilt" radio over $500"

"Radio stopped working at 60000 miles. Dealer informed that the radio was dead & needed to be replaced"

"Radio just gave out at 60,000 miles. From online forums, a lot of people have this problem. Cost $195 at dealership for inspection. They said I needed new radio. Went elsewhere for new radio"

"Entire radio system failed. Won't power on. This includes the hands free bluetooth"

"Randomly failed with no apparent reason/issue (fuse not blown, etc.) -- occurred almost concurrently with the trunk failing to open (neither the keyless remote nor the interior trunk latch would open the trunk)"

"The radio just stopped one day when we had about 85000 kms on it. All the fuses were checked and were okay. At the dealership they said it was the radio itself. Really in all the cars I have had the radio is the one thing that never quits"

"My stereo system went out and had to be replaced. This included the Bluetooth and CD changer. This replacement was over a $ 600.00 item. As long as I have been driving, this is the first time a radio system has needed to be replaced"

"Radio developed a short which drained the car battery even when the radio was turned off. A new radio took care of it."

"Radio required total replacement. Replaced with after market kit which offers more functionality than OEM radio."

"The radio and CD player quit working completely . It won't turn at all. The unit is receiving power. According to numerous reports on you tube, this is a common occurance with VW stereo units. I am not about to spend an enormous amount of money to put another VW unit in. I will go with an after market unit. I agree with many other people who have said this unit is a piece of junk."

"The speakers keep blowing out and buzzing"

"Im not sure if this is the correct location but the Cruise control senor went out and had to be replaced"

"Starter/key switch failed"

"Recall due to diesel emissions"

"Extremely expensive to fix the EGR on this car. Over $3000"

"Diesel Particular Filter failed along with EGR Valve, VW wanted to Charge the full price to repair, upon calling VW Canada i found out that DPF filter is covered under government extended warranty. I doubt that EGR replacement was necessary i was chrged for thet part, i learned that, if the DPF is clogged or cracked, CEL will indicate EGR failure"

"Dieselgate"

"This being a TDI, I was producing grossly excessive emissions the first several years I owned the car. As I bought it primarily because I thought it was environmentally responsible, this was and is very upsetting."

"Had to replace the intake manifold sensors, I believe it is called the rail"

"Check engine lights with indication of problem with injection - difficult to find solution - cut plastic wrap to tube near motor and solved problem for now. Difficult to comprehend - mechanics do not know how to solve problems on this car. This car h"

"fuel rail pressure too low - dealer replaced fuel pump at no charge under power train warranty"

"Complete failure while driving on I-95. The repair was made by a VW dealer, took 1 week. The cost of the repair was covered under warranty. It would have cost approx. $8,000 had it not been covered. It was necessary to replace the entire fuel system"

"At 119000 miles the high pressure fuel pump failed leaving my wife stranded on the side of the road 35 miles from home. The car was towed to the nearest VW dealer where they assessed the problem and recommended that I contact VW America. I did cont"

"Had to replace DPF pressure sensor and DPF pressure line"

"Fault was indicated but ambiguous to dealer and independent repair shop. Resulted in inability to get an estimate with certainty and delay"

"Unknown sensor failure that required $1400 new rack & pinion steering system. Stupid engineering"

"Engine light came on, when checked out it was a fuse I think on the emissions"

"after performing a recall and reprogramming of the computer, O2 sensors failed"

"Sensors failed in Texas, Houston dealer could't fix, told me to drive home. When I got home, local dealer told me I should have stopped driving immediately (leave car there and and fly home?) and refused to cover under warranty. Cost: ~3,800.00"

"Pre catalytic converter O2 sensor went bad and had to be replaced. Dealership wanted over $300 to replace not including price of parts, was replaced at a local garage for around $200. Car had less than 50000 when it went bad"

"exhaust pressure sensors failed recently and needed replacing"

"Oxygen sensor failed"

"Manifold sensor setting off the check engine light"

"oxygen sensor had to be replaced (caused faulty check engine light to come on - no actual trouble) at service manager's request for consideration because of low mileage and regular maintenance, VW covered total cost"

"Compressor stopped cooling. Had to replace it for $900"

"it failed and according to the dealer sent metal fragments through out the system"

"Failure. Replacement"

"VW wanted to replace the whole compresssor for 1485 but my local mechanic was able to replace an electrical part for 300 and it running great"

"AC Compressor went out in April 2015 and had to be replaced"

"Failed; was replaced at my cost"

"Gradually reduced cooling capability. had to replace"

"only blows cold when moving"

"The air conditioning unit went out when it was 3 years old"

"AC stops engaging unless car hits 3000 RPM; common problem with VWs of this generation and needs a solenoid in the compressor replaced along with complete evac/refill of AC system"

"Failure of the compressor. Resulted in $2000 in repair costs."

"We have completed multiple expensive repairs on this car's AC system and it still functions insufficiently. Repair people tell us that is typical of VW's of this age, unless we replace the entire AC system."

"It takes a few minutes to get any cool air to come out, and when it does it works best at 72 degrees, but not lower... Also, it comes on for a few minutes and then just blows air... back and forth!"

"All three items had to be replaced because the dessicant holder/bag/item ruptured and clogged the entire system."

"Variable displacement solenoid in compressor goes out on VW products and produces no cool air until car is driven a distance or goes above 3000 RPM. Then kicks in and works fine. A new $30 solenoid and an hour of labor to replace and recharge AC system and it's fine on most VW products with this issue"

"solenoid on AC compressor stops functioning, which causes the AC compressor not to engage unless vehicle RPMs hit >3000. New Solenoid is ~$100, and total repair with evac/recharge/part ~$400 - far cheaper than replacing entire compressor. This is common with VW AC systems."

"When it started after driving it awhile it caused the engine to "smoke" so had to stop driving it."

"The ac stopped blowing cold air."

"needed a new compressor last year and this year the gas was depleted and had to be refilled."

"Constant chirping sound, dry bearings in motor. It's a 10 year old vehicle."

"It started to whine at settings 3 and 4 out of 4. I suspect a bad bearing. The dealer told me it was something else, charged $400 for the repair. It still whines but the wipers were installed backwards and did not function. If it had rained the vehicle would have been inoperable. I had to pay $75 To get the wipers sorted( different dealer )"

"easy DIY fix for squeaky bearing. <$100 in parts"

"Same as other item"

"fuse panel failure due to poor design (low melting plastic) Cost 550 $. Repeated/multiple failure of remote door locks and/or body computer"
