Tenneco Automotive (Tenneco) is recalling certain Beck/Arnley Master Cylinders, part number 072-9831, sold as aftermarket or replacement parts for 2004-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle vehicles. The fluid seal crimp on the master cylinder may be insufficient, causing brake fluid to leak or the cylinder to come apart.
If there is a brake fluid leak, it can reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.
Beck/Arnley will notify the distributors that sold the master cylinders and will work with the distributors to notify the end users. Affected master cylinders will be exchanged for a new master cylinder (part number 072-9990), free of charge. The recall began October 30, 2020. Owners may contact Tenneco customer service at 1-800-625-9319.

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2015-2019 GTI, 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 Golf, 2012-2019 Beetle and Beetle Convertible, 2017-2019 Golf SportWagen and 2011-2018 Jetta vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, manual handbrake and keyless entry. A build-up of silicate on the shift lever micro switch contacts may enable the key to be removed from the ignition when the transmission shift lever is not in "Park."
Removing the key while the shift lever is in a position other than "Park" increases the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional switch and circuit board, free of charge. The recall began November 19, 2019. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's number for this recall is 37M2.

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2010-2014 Volkswagen CC, and Passat, 2010-2013 Eos, 2011-2014 Golf, GTI, Jetta, and Tiguan, and 2012-2014 Jetta Sportwagen vehicles. In the affected vehicles, debris may contaminate the air bag clock spring, a spiral wound, flat cable that keeps the air bag powered while the steering wheel is being turned. This contamination may tear the cable and result in a loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag.
A loss of electrical connection to the driver's frontal air bag will prevent the air bag from deploying in the event of a vehicle crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will install a protective cover over the steering wheel clock spring if the air bag light is off. If the airbag light is on and the steering wheel clock spring requires replacement, dealers will install a new steering wheel clock spring. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on January 15, 2016. Owners may contact Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-822-8987.

Engine, Jan 19, 2022
While driving home from work the vehicle suddenly stopped and stalled in the middle of the road creating an unsafe condition with regard to oncoming traffic. There were no indicator lights that the vehicle was in need of attention, the check engine light was never on, the car had sufficient oil and gas and the battery less than a year old. The vehicle had to be towed. After having a mechanic look at it was told the engine seized and will have to be replaced. The car is only 6 years old and has less than 85k miles on it. Upon looking into the issue with 2014 VW Jettas, I have read several reports of similar instances happening to many others, some even within a year of owning the car. This is a safety hazard. When I spoke to VW of America, I was told there was a recall of the ECM (electronic control module) however they would not give me information as to whether this would cause the car to stall or to need a new engine and would not pay to have their faulty vehicle taken to the dealership via a tow.

My car has progressed from an intermittent crank/no start issue to outright failure while driving. There have been several incidents where I am driving at ~40 mph and my car completely dies in the middle of intersections/fast moving traffic putting me in grave danger. I have visited the dealership 4 times now with multiple parts replaced but the issue persists, and I feel unsafe driving the vehicle but I have no other option. I have not been given a loaner vehicle at any time from the dealership despite requesting one. There has been no check engine light present at any time. I have had the car since it was brand new and it has been serviced precisely at each service interval only at VW dealerships.

I ALSO SUFFER FROM MAJOR OIL LOSS IN MY 2014 JETTA SE 1.8. I HAD CODES POP UP TELLING ME TO REPLACE SOME SENSORS, AND TURNS OUT MY OIL WAS JUST VERY LOW. WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH I HAD THE VEHICLE, PURCHASED USED IN 2020, THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY DRY CAUSING ME TO QUESTION THE DEALERSHIP'S PROMISE THAT AN OIL CHANGE WASN'T DONE. I JUST REPLACED THE PCV VALVE, BUT NOW I'M GETTING P0301 AND P03AF CODES, AND MY CAR BARELY MADE IT TO WORK THIS MORNING. I HAD A SUCCESSFUL TEST DRIVE LAST NIGHT WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, BUT NOW I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AT ALL WITHOUT PUTTING THE OLD VALVE BACK IN.

LAST YEAR I STARTED NOTICING MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING VERY ODD. THE LOW ENGINE OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. I HAD BARELY ANY OIL LEFT SO I GOT AN OIL CHANGE THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER, IT STARTED RUNNING ODD AGAIN. I CHECKED THE DIPSTICK AND IT WAS LOW ON OIL AGAIN. THIS KEPT HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO VW SERVICE SHOP TO GET IT CONFIRMED IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH OIL CONSUMPTION. THEY TOLD TO COME BACK TO DO AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST FOR $300. I DIDN'T WANT TO PAY THAT MUCH JUST FOR A TEST SO I ASKED MY FRIEND THAT WORKED THERE IF THEY KNEW ANYTHING. TURNS OUT, THE SERVICE TECHS KNOW ITS A COMMON ISSUE WITH JETTAS AND IT WOULD COST $4K TO GET MY ENGINE REPLACED TO FIX THE ISSUE. I BOUGHT THE IN 2017 AND WAS SO CLOSE TO PAYING IT OFF THIS YEAR.........NOT WORTH IT..... :(

Power train, Engine, Jan 19, 2021
AS I WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON-RAMP, MY CAR MADE A LOUD CRACKING SOUND AND SMOKE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO COME OUT OF FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND I STEERED THE CAR TO THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER. ALL THE SERVICE AND WARNING LIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE WERE NOW ON. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES FOR THE SMOKE TO DISSIPATE, I OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTED OIL ON THE FLOOR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT BECAME CLEAR THAT THERE WAS A LARGE CRACK/HOLE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A BLOWN PISTON. MY VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 63,000 MILES AND HAD JUST RECEIVED AN OIL CHANGE 5 DAYS PRIOR. THIS CAUSED ME TO FILE A CLAIM WITH THE COMPANY THAT PROVIDED THE OIL CHANGE. PER THE REPORT ATTACHED, THE COMPANY'S INSURANCE INSPECTOR DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS NOT A RESULT OF THE OIL CHANGE. SEE INSPECTOR'S REPORT AND PICTURES ATTACHED, WITH PERSONAL INFORMATION REDACTED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY NOT FUNCTIONAL. BASED ON ADDITIONAL RESEARCH, THIS I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE A RESULT OF A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE THAT AFFECTS A VARIETY OF VW MODELS. HOWEVER, BASED ON VIN LOOKUP AND DISCUSSION WITH VW CUSTOMER CARE, MY VIN HAS NOT YET BEEN DETERMINED TO BE COVERED UNDER THE TIMING CHAIN EXTENDED WARRANTY STIPULATED IN BULLETIN VWP-18-07.

MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION OIL ALL OVER MY CAR/UNDER MY CAR. MY MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO VW DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC ONLY FOR THEM TO NOT FIX THE CAR AFTER 700.00 AND I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS FIXED UNTIL I DROVE IT 10 MIN DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS SMOKING AND LEAKING OIL EVERYWHERE. THE CAR ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO THE LEAK.

EPC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY; VEHICLE THROTTLED DOWN AND CONTINUED TO BUCK AND STALL OUT; LOSS OF POWER AND SPEED. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. NO SPECIFIC DIAGNOSTIC CODE(S) WERE SAVED OR TRIGGERED. THIS CAUSES COSTLY AND UNNEEDED DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIRS
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 17, 2020
THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP DISINTEGRATED WHEN IT WAS SITTING SO LONG IN STORAGE. DUE TO THE EDITIONS RECALL VW HAD. THERE FOR THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CAR WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

I ONLY HAVE 37,000 MILES IN MY CAR AND WAS BOUGHT AS CERTIFIED CAR FROM VW DEALER. CAR MAKES ENGINE NOISE WHILE IDLING AND DIAGNOSIS IS THAT RADIATOR COOLING FAN ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH COSTS $740.00 PER VW DUBLIN, CA DEALER. I CANNOT EXPECT RADIATOR FAN TO GO OUT AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND I HAVE SEEN SO MANY THREADS ON THIS ISSUE / TOPIC WHILE GOOGLING... THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH VW JETTA OR VW IN GENERAL. CONSUMERS CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE OR RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR SUCH EXPENSIVE REPAIRS WITH ONLY 37,000 MILES DRIVEN AND COOLING FAN FAILING. THIS HAS TO BE A DESIGN/ENGINEERING ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BY VOLKSWAGEN. *TR

EVENT'S STARTED LAST YEAR IN DECEMBER. VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING INCONSISTENT RPMS AT IDLE NOTICEABLY AFTER 1 MINUTE THAT WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 600 TO 900, EVEN SPIKING TO 1.2K RPMS. RECORDED A VIDEO AS EVIDENCE (VW MECHANIC SAID THAT MEANT NOTHING TO HIM AT "~30-40+ YEARS EXPERIENCE"). WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES CEASE (SOME SAY STALL) AND NO LONGER OPERATE. VEHICLE WILL RUN ON THE HIGH-WAY. WILL START AROUND 80% OF THE TIME AFTER 'STALL' REGARDING REDUCING SPEED TO STOP. LOCAL AUTO-PARTS SHOP CODE READ "P0011 CAM...BANK 1 OVER-ADVANCED". MY CAR IS A SE 1.8L TSI. REPAIR ESTIMATE IS OVER $3,000 FOR WHAT VW DEALER HAD QUOTED AS A "STRETCHED TIME-CHAIN AND FALING TENSIONER." (PAID OVER $150 FOR DIAGNOSTIC.) VW MECHANICS NEVER TOOK A LOOK INSIDE ENGINE TO PROVE THEIR FINDINGS ACCORDING TO VERBAL INTERACTION. WOULDN'T PROVIDE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS I ASKED. MILEAGE PROBLEMS BECAME NOTICEABLE: AROUND 100,000 VEHICLE MILES. VEHICLE HAD NO ISSUES AT TIME OF PURCHASE. REQUESTING RECALL REPAIR AS REMEDY. TO MY KNOWLEDGE VEHICLE IS WITHIN NOMINAL MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS PRIOR TO ISSUE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY PARKED. ADDITIONALLY, KEY-LOCK COLUMN HAS MALFUNCTIONED AS KEY WAS STUCK WITH ENGINE RUNNING. KEY WOULD BE VERY WARM TO THE TOUCH. NO IDEA WHY OR HOW IT IS POSSIBLE. REQUEST RECALL TO FIX ENGINEERING ERROR WITHOUT OR SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED EXPENSES. WHAT DOCUMENTATION/SUPPLEMENTAL EVIDENCE IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. AVERAGE SPEED FOR OBSERVATION OF ISSUE IS UP TO 40-45 MPH. VW DEALER WITHHOLDS PARTS NUMBER INFORMATION FOR PARTS SPECIFIC TO MY VEHICLE. WITHHELD MY DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AFTER VERBAL EXPRESSION "...PROPRIETARY INFORMATION." DID NOT GET THIS RESPONSE AFTER PAYING FOR ONE BEFORE.

APRIL 13TH,2020 I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. ROAD TESTING PRODUCED NOTHING, BUT P1732 AND P173D CODES WERE FOUND. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED THE VW TECH LINE AND VW INDICATED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS THE ONLY OPTION. MY COST WOULD BE $9236.14. AFTERWARDS, I STOPPED AT THE LOCAL INDEPENDENT GERMAN AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE MY PAPERWORK LOOKED AT. THIS SHOP INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A NEW TRANSMISSION DESIGN, INTENDED FOR THE HYBRID, AND THAT IT WAS FULL OF BUGS. I WAS INFORMED THAT VW KNEW ABOUT THE ISSUE AND CREATED A SOFTWARE BANDAGE TO FIX IT. THE FIX WAS NOT A PERMANENT SOLUTION, RATHER TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE CAR INSTEAD OF VW FIXING THE ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY. THIS SHOP ALSO INDICATED THAT NORMAL SERVICE DONE TO CARS WOULD SHOW A POTENTIAL PROBLEM, BUT VW INDICATED TO CLEAR THE CODE AND NOT TELL CUSTOMERS. TRANSMISSION I AM NOT SURE THE EXACT DATE THAT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES BEGAN, BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT WAS AFTER MARCH 27TH, 2020. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WORKED ALL DAY FOR NEWS AMERICA MARKETING AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR. ON THE DAY THAT THE ISSUE BEGAN, I HAD BEEN USING E-MODE FREQUENTLY AND I NOTICED THAT THE CAR WAS RUNNING HOTTER THAN NORMAL. I STOPPED USING E- MODE. CURRENTLY THE CAR IS DRIVABLE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON REGULARLY. WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM, ONLY ODD GEARS ARE AVAILABLE. GEARS 2,4,6, AND REVERSE ARE NOT AVAILABLE. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY DOWNSHIFT TO AN ODD GEAR. FOR EXAMPLE, 4TH GEAR TO 3RD. THIS RESULTS IN THE CAR SLOWING DOWN QUICKLY DUE TO THE HIGH RPM. IF THE CAR IS IN 2ND, SHIFTING TO 1ST CAUSES THE CAR TO COME TO A STOP OVER A SHORT DISTANCE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR BEGAN TO STOP ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. ONCE THE RPM EXCEEDED THREE, THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON. FURTHER ON DOWN THE ROAD, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I HAD THE CODES READ AND WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY I HAD THIS PART REPLACED AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN. THE LIGHTS CAME ON ONCE AGAIN AND AN ADDITIONAL LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. THIS TIME THE CAR SLOWED DOWN SO MUCH THAT I WAS ALMOST HIT TRYING TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY.

THE VEHICLE IS KNOWN FOR INTERCOOLER ICING AND VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIPS DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE IT. AFTER DRIVING IN COLD WEATHER AND STARTING THE CAR UP AGAIN THE INTERCOOLER HAS WATER BUILD UP FROM CONDENSATION THAT CAN POTENTIALLY HYDROLOCK OR DESTROY THE ENGINE BY PUMPING WATER THROUGH IT.
