The Gates Corporation (Gates) is recalling certain aftermarket Tru-Flow Water Pumps, part number TFW 41127, sold at certain NAPA Auto Parts and/or installed by automotive service technicians after November 1, 2013 (and manufactured August 2013 through October 2013) that have a black-colored pulley/sprocket or do not have 'US9377' stamped on the water pump housing. These service replacement parts were sold for use in model year 1999-2005 Audi A4, 2000-2006 Audi TT, 1998-2005 Volkswagen Beetle, 1999-2006 Golf, 1999-2008 and 2011-2013 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2000-2005 Volkswagen Passat. In the affected water pumps, the pulley or sprocket that turns the timing belt may develop microfractures causing the timing belt to fail.
A failure of the timing belt may cause the engine to shut down, potentially increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Gates will notify owners, and dealers will replace the water pump, free of charge. The recall began during May 2014. Owners may contact The Gates Corporation at 1-303-744-1911.

I OWN A 2001 VW JETTA GLS VR6. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT. I AM A YOUNG WOMAN IN THE MILITARY AND AM IN FULL TIME SCHOOL, SO I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO RUN AROUND AND FIX IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO DO. FIRST MY GAS GAUGE WENT OUT THREE MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT $600(UNDER WARRANTY) THEN A MONTH LATER O2 SENSOR $300(NON WARRANTY). THEN IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER$1500(NON WARRANTY) WIRING SYSTEM$1000(OF COURSE NON WARRANTY) WINDOWS WONT ROLL UP WITHOUT ROLLING DOWN AGAIN AND SOMETIMES GET STUCK$700(NON WARRANTY) CRUISE CONTROL WENT OUT$845 (NON WARRANTY), WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR... STATIONED IN ALASKA AND COULDN'T GO WITHOUT THAT $750(NON WARRANTY) NOW MY SECONDARY AIR PUMP IS OUT AND I WAS QUOTED $1294 FROM PRIVATE MECHANIC AND $1400 FROM VW. ALSO THE CRUISE IS STILL OUT AND THE WINDOWS ARE DOING THE SAME AGAIN. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE IN THE SAME BOAT I HAVE BEEN IN WITH SO MANY REPAIRS. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP VW FROM MAKING FAULTY PARTS AND CHARGING AN ARM AND A LEG? I FEEL THOUGH THAT IF IT IS BROUGHT UP TO YOU THAT MY VOICE WILL BE HEARD, BECAUSE WHEN I CALL THE VOLKWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPLAINTS I GET NOWHERE. *TR

I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAVE BEEN DETERIORATING IN THE PAST MONTHS. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A VW DEALER BACK IN APRIL TO SEE WHY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE STUTTERING. THEY SAID THE WINDSHIELD MIGHT BE ON TOO TIGHT OR SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE BLADES. I CHANGED THE BLADES AND GOT A NEW WINDSHIELD SINCE I HAD A CRACK IN IT ANYWAYS. BOTH DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND I WAS NEVER TOLD IT COULD BE THE WIPER MOTOR. I HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE I WAS DRIVING NOW ON THE HIGHWAY OR JUST ON A SIDE STREET AND IT WAS RAINING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY WIPERS WOULD JUST STOP!!! I ALMOST GOT INTO A FEW ACCIDENTS NOW, AND I FEEL IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD THAT I SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. *NM

OVER THE WEEKEND THE INSIDE OF MY CAR FILLED WITH RAIN WATER. IT WAS A PUDDLE ON THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. I DRIED IT OUT WITH THE HELP OF MY FATHER. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S NOT COVERED AS PART OF MY WARRANTY. THEY SAID THAT THEY KNOW IT'S THE SUNROOF CAUSING THE LEAK WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT IT. I ASKED IF HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW I RECENTLY HAD REPAIRED AND THEY SAID NO. THEY HAD A BUNCH OF PEOPLE COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY ARE ALL DUE TO THE SUNROOF CAUSING A LEAK. THEY SAID IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE IT'S MAINTENANCE WHEN I HAD NO IDEA THIS IS A PROBLEM AND VW IS VERY WELL AWARE THE PROBLEM. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE TYPE OF COMPLAINT YOU HANDLE BUT I FEEL THAT VOLKSWAGEN IS GETTING AWAY WITH A FAULTY PROBLEM WITH THE SUNROOF AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THEY ABSORB THE PRICE. *JB

VW SENT A LETTER TO ME THAT THE SIDE WINDOWS ON MY 2001 JETTA TDI SEDAN VW MAY FAIL AND THEY WOULD REPAIR THEM WHEN IT OCCURRED UP TO 7 YEARS. THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THEM BEFORE FAILURE. WHEN THEY FAILED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 65 MPH AND THE DRIVERS WINDOW FAILED CRASHING INTO THE INNER DOOR WELL. NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THE LOUD BANG IN THE DOOR ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO PUT A FIX KIT ON IT. NOW THE 2 FRONT WINDOWS THEY PUT THE FIX KIT IN BOTTOMS OUT MAKING A LOUD NOSE AND WHEN IT COMES UP IT MAKES A CLICKING NOISE LIKE SOMETHING HITTING THE GLASS. THE DEALER STATES THIS IS THE VW FIX. I HAVE A 2003 JETTA TDI SEDAN VW AND IT DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM SO I RESEARCHED WHY. WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS THAT YOU CAN'T BUY THE 2001 WINDOW REGULATORS AND MOTORS FROM VW YOU CAN ONLY GET THE UPDATE LIKE IN MY 2003. THE REASON IS THAT VW CAME UP WITH A FIX THAT IS NOT PROPER WITH THIS FIX KIT. THE CORRECT FIX IS TO REPLACE THE REGULATORS AND MOTORS. THE WINDOWS DID NOT MAKE NOISES PRIOR TO THEM FAILING AND SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS IF THE FIX KIT WORKS PROPER. *JB
