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.

THE SEAT WARMER OF MY 2002 VOLKSWAGON JETTA MALFUNCTIONED AND STARTED A FIRE WITHIN THE SEAT. THERE WAS SMOKE AND A FLAME INSIDE THE SEAT. IT BURNED THE PANTS I WAS WEARING. AND BURNED MY LEG SLIGHTLY.*AK ***WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE CENTER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID "YEAH, THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING, WE'RE CALLING THE CARS 'HOT PANTS'" THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE SEATS ARE ON BACK ORDER, AND THAT THEY HAVE HAD A CAR THERE FOR OVER A WEEK THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

SINCE BUYING MY JETTA NEW IN 2002. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. TWICE THE IGNITION COILS FAILED, AND I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE ALL THE DEFECTIVE COILS THE FIRST TIME. SO, NOW THAT I KNOW MY CAR IS UNRELIABLE, I WON'T BE USING IT FOR LONG TRIPS, WHICH WAS MY MAIN REASON FOR BUYING THE CAR. THEN LAST NIGHT ON MY WAY DOWN THE ROAD, THE HEATED SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNED A WHOLE IN MY SEAT, NOT TO MENTION WHAT IT DID TO ME AS I WAS DRIVING. THIS CAR JUST SEEMS TOTALLY UNSAFE. FIRST THERE IS NO POWER WHEN THE IGNITION COILS FAIL, THEN THE DRIVER SEAT CATCHES ON FIRE AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. OF COURSE THE DEALER CAN'T GET ME IN UNTIL LATER THIS WEEK.*AK

I HAVE TAKEN IN MY 2002 VW JETTA ABOUT 9 TIMES FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS: THE ENGINE COMES ON, THE DOORS HAVE MESSED UP, THE ODOMETER IS INCORRECT AND THE SPEEDOMETER FLOATS DRASTICALLY 5-10 MILES UP AND DOWN. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CAR NOT ONLY FOR THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE, BUT ALSO BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW FAST THEY REALLY ARE GOING - THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD. MY FRIEND'S 2001 VW JETTA IS JUST STARTING TO DO THE SAME THINGS AS MINE, WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, AND A WOMEN TODAY SAID ALL OF HER FRIENDS GOT RID OF THEIRS FOR THE SAME REASONS - JETTAS WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *LA

THE POWER WINDOWS AND ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS OF MY 2002 JETTA DOESN'T WORK ? WINDOWS WON'T OPEN AND DOORS WON'T LOCK. IT HAS TO BE DONE MANUALLY UNTIL THEY STOPPED WORKING FOR TWO MONTHS WITH NO SIGNS OR ANY WARNING. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SUGGESTED THAT A NEW COMFORT CONTROL CENTER MODULE IS NEEDED. SINCE THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD 60,000 MILES ON IT, THE PART COST $300. VW AMERICA HAS DENIED MY CLAIM AND WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE MALFUNCTION IS BELIEVED TO BE A DEFECT ON THE ORIGINAL PART AND I'M NOT LIABLE OR HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS REPLACEMENT, SINCE THE FAILURE OF OPERATION AS IT SHOULD BE IS AT NO FAULT OR NEGLIGENCE ON MY BEHALF AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. *LA

GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA 225/45 17R TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT NEW. COMPLETELY WORN OUT IN 18,000 MILES. INSIDE SIDEWALLS WERE CRACKED AND HAD BULGES. (BREAKDOWN OF CORDS) TALKED TO VW ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY TOLD US TO TAKE IT IT TO A TIRE STORE BECAUSE IT WASN'T THEIR PROBLEM. WENT TO AMERICA'S TIRE STORE (LIVERMORE, CA) AND THEY WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO CALL GOODYEAR ON THE DEFECT. THEY PRO-RATED THE TIRES (I THINK WE GOT $25 OUT OF IT) AND RECOMMENDED CONTINENTAL CONTITOURING CONTACT 225/45 17R. THESE TIRES ARE WARRANTED FROM CONTI FOR 55,000 MILES! THE PRICE WAS THE SAME AS THE GOODYEARS. OUTSTANDING TIRES! DON'T BUY YOUR VW NEW WITH GOODYEARS! GET THE MICHILENS IF YOU CAN.*AK

OIL CONSUMPTION. VOLKSWAGEN SAYS "YOUR OIL SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 5000 MILES" WELL I HAVE A JETTA AND HAVE RUN OUT OF OIL COMPLETELY EMPTY 3 TIMES UNDER 3000. I AM CURRENTLY UNDERGOING AN OIL CONSUMPTION WITH VOLKSWAGON. AT THIS POINT I AM AT 3000 MILES AND I AM 2 1/2 QUARTS LOW AND STILL HAVE 2000 MILES TILL I HAVE AN OIL CHANGE. THERE ARE NO LEAKS, NO OIL ON THE ENGINE. IT IS BASICALLY JUST DISAPPEARING ON ME. IF I HAD NOT CAUGHT ON TO THIS, I COULD HAVE BLOWN THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY FAULT. ONCE VOLKSWAGON STUDIES MY OIL CONSUPTION STUDY THEY WILL DETERMINE WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO WITH IT. I HAVE HAD IT WITH VOLKSWAGON. I FEEL AS IF I LIVE THERE. I AM THERE MORE THAN I AM AT HOME WITH ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS.

I HAD A 2002 VW JETTA 1.8T THAT DEVELOPED SERIOUS PROBLEMS RELATED TO A COMPTER GLICHE THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH FUEL EMISSIONS AS PER THE VW ENGINEER I SPOKE WITH. THE VEHICLE WOULD EXPERIENCE MULTIPLE ENGINE MISFIRES RESULTING IN SYMPTOMS OF HIGH ENGINE IDLING, DECREASED ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, STUTTERING OF THE ENGINE UPON START OR WITH GEAR CHANGES AND OVER ALL SLUGGISHNESS WHEN DRIVING. ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS AWARDED TO ME AFTER I FILED A LEMON LAW CASE AND VW STATED THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS GIVEN THE EXACT SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE IN NOV 2002. THIS VEHICLE STARTED DOING THE SAME THING IN JULY 2002. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO STATED VW HAD NOT YET COME UP WITH A FIX. THE DEALER RESET THE COMPUTER BUT WITHIN IN A WEEK THE CAR WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. AT THAT TIME I CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA AND FILED A COMPLAINT AND INFORMED THEM I WAS GOING TO FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT AGAIN. THE NEXT THING I KNOW A VW REP IS IN TOWN LOOKING AT MY VEHICLE. I WAS THEN INFORMED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE REP DID SOMETHING TO THE COMPUTER AND NOW I CAN ONLY USE PREMIUM GASOLINE. MY CONCERN IS THAT HE TWEEKED THE COMPUTER AND THAT MY VEHICLE MAY NOT BE MEETING THE FUEL EMISSION STANDARDS. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS RE: THE 1.8T MODEL ON ALL THE VW SITES YET VW APPEARS TO BE SWEEPING IT UNDER THE RUG. CHECK OUT WWW.MYVWLEMON.COM AND YOU WILL SEE THE MANY PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM YET VW WILL NOT ADDRESS IT UNLESS ONE IS PERSISTENT. MY CONCERN IS THAT A VEHICL THAT NEVER REQUIRED PREMIUM GASOLINE BEFORE REQUIRES IT NOW AFTER THE ENGINERR "TWEEKED" IT.*AK
