“After they replaced the window seals in the drivers door twice, water is no longer sealed out of the door at the bottom of the window”

“interior console and dash parts were loose from the beginning and create small irritating rattles”

“The windows squeak. Drivers window motor had to be replaced. At first they tried lubricating it and got silicone all over everything and had to replace all the window seals, TWICE. The windows still squeak and I'm afraid to have them look at it”

“Check engine light turned out to be a problem with the electric A/C compressor. In the Jetta Hybrid the A/C compressor is electrically driven by the battery high-voltage. The A/C compressor was replaced under the OEM warranty”

“Takes too long to cool the interior. Boast VW, Bradenton, Fl. said that it was OK. Not happy”

“Had freon leak. VW Dealer tested and found the AC Compressor leaking and replaced it under warranty”

“Manual transmission clutch assembly failed due to design defects and had to be replaced with an upgraded clutch assembly Part Number with revised design. Issue was not due to clutch wear as corroborated by the dealership. Car was under powertrain warranty at the time, but Volkswagen refused to honor the warranty and forced out of pocket payment. Had to file a complaint and threat of legal action with the Michigan Attorney General and the Secretary of State, which prompted VW to reconsider and”

“Power mirrors never worked properly”

“Transmission lugging”

“The clutch-pack in the Jetta Hybrid automatic transmission started to shift roughly at about 65,000 miles. It was replaced at about 70,000 miles under the extended warranty we had purchased with the car. Now, around 90,000 miles the replacement clutch-pack is showing early signs of rough shifting as well”

“The o-ring seal on the filter housing was not replaced with the gear oil and was damaged when reinstalled. This caused the transmission to pump oil out the filter housing and 30,000 miles later the dealership noted removing 4 liters of oil and adding 5 liters new. No metal scraps were found in the old oil so gear damage is unlikely. (the shop that did the 40k transmission service was not a dealership but claimed factory trained technicians and is now bankrupt) use a trusted shop”

“Feel they are getting replaced too often”

“Same thing that I answered before. BUT this one came from Boast VW , Bradenting, Fl. They said that breaks were OK”

“Hybrid system failure which caused power breaking to downgrade to manual. I had to depress the brake pedal all the way to the floor. This happens intermittently. Dealer reprogrammed then horn was disabled, then fixed. Brakes not consistent or safe”

“Paint is chipping”

“These Direct inject engines are well known for having carbon buildup on intake valves. 71000 miles into owning, I get an ECM light and nearly completely loose power on I-5. Compute puts me into limp mode and I wait 2 hours on a Sunday night for a tow. The entire intake needs to be removed and the carbon needs to be scraped off. Car was in the shop for 3 days (during which they found a transmission oil leak) and ended up being pricey”

“Metal piece inside top part of engine (where you pour oil in) broke loose, damaged valvetrain, VW replaced valves and a lot of other parts in the top part of the engine. Happened at 35k mi”

“The oil filter housing is made of plastic. The design is solid but the filter housing needs to be made more durable, probably of metal”

“Shortly after purchasing the vehicle exhaust smells were detected in the passenger compartment. The dealer was unable to locate the source of the smells. Two years later the dealer finally located the source of the smell--a failed gasket between the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter. Since the smell had been documented during the warranty period of the vehicle it was fully covered”

“The radiator leaked so all the fluid came out of the car. This required a $1200 repair. The radiator had to be placed on another visit and that was an $1100 repair”
