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.

Without any warning, the clutch failed to engage with the transmission. There appeared to be sudden loss of power to the wheels, which left the car inoperable. Upon encountering this issue, we had the vehicle towed to a local VW service center. They proceeded to do an inspection of the vehicle and recommended replacing the entire transmission given issues with their mechatronic units. As we later discovered this is an issue that VW is aware of. Recall 34j6 regarding the mechatronic unit and transmission. I called VW Customer Care and they refused to cover any cost associated with the recommended transmission replacement from the service center. Given that this is a known defect, I'd like VW to stand behind their product and cover the cost of repair, which was estimated at around $9000.

The transmission in my 2014 Jetta HYBRID has failed. The vehicle has only 52,315 miles on it. I believe Volks Wagon has a serious problem with the transmissions in a number transmission recall. VW's Customer Care and corporate office offer no explanation or help. A friend had the same thing happen to her VW - low miles - total transmission failure. She paid $6000.00 for a new transmission with a 1 of models it makes. I have had the car serviced at all the recommended mileage intervals at the dealership where I purchased it - the last time about 6 weeks before it broke down. Their multipoint inspection didn't have any issues with the transmission on it. VW's TDI models had a major year warranty and 13 months later that transmission also failed. My car is at the dealership and they're awaiting my decision on repairing it. The cost to do so is $9033.55 probably more than my friend's because mine is a HYBRID. The HYBRID system in my car has an 8 year warranty on it and I realize that the transmission is not the total hybrid system but it does connect to the braking system in hybrids. I guess what I'm saying is that there is something inherently wrong with Volkswagen's transmissions and they need to fess up and replace them at no cost. I purchased their product in good faith believing in legendary German engineering and have been sorely disappointed. The cost of this repair is almost 1/3 of what I paid for the car and my friend's experience has me doubting repairing it. My car is at Heritage VW in Union City, Georgia for inspection. VW has a policy that independent repair places must get a certification on each vehicle for each repair in order to purchase genuine VW parts. The cost of doing this is prohibitive so independent transmission facilities won't do the work. They're monopolizing the repairs to VW's. IF MORE PEOPLE KNEW THIS I DON'T THINK VW WOULD SELL VERY MANY VEHICLES IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE FUTURE. Please help if you can. Thank you.

Air bags, Aug 23, 2021, crash
Air bags failed to deploy on my 2014 volkswagen jetta. I hit a Guardrail head on at 50-60 mph pushing it 8 feet back. I sustained a large laceration on my forehead eventually needing 6 staples and 6 stitches to close it up. My passenger got abbrastions to her head from hitting the window. Which is now cracked and broken throughout. The air bag light came on my dashboard but no air bags were ever deployed. Having just bought this vehicle 6 months ago from a dealership and them verifying that everything was in working order has me wondering what to do about this? $18,000 for a trip to the E.R that night. Needless to say I'm pretty disappointed and know that if the airbags would have properly went off it would have made things Alot easier!!

IN EARLY APRIL, MY 2014 JETTA STARTED EXPERIENCING JERKING INTO GEAR WHILE DRIVING OCCASIONALLY. IT APPEARED THAT INCLINES OR ACCELERATION (EVEN THOUGH BOTH WERE GENTLE) WERE THE CULPRIT. SO I TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR EVEN GENTLER THAN I ALREADY AM. ON APRIL 16, HOWEVER, THE CAR ALMOST COMPLETELY STALLED ON A BUSY 75 MPH HIGHWAY MULTIPLE TIMES. AS SUCH, I WAS DRIVING AT 20MPH IN CASE IT WAS SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND SPEED THAT WAS THE CULPRIT. I COULDN'T DRIVE ANY FASTER. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THIS MAKES FOR AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SO THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. I BITE THE BULLET AND DRIVE ON THE RIGHT LANE AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER FORM OF TRANSPORTATION. I TAKE IT TO AAMCO ON APRIL 20TH, AND THE MECHANICS THERE ARE ALL TERRIBLY SLICK AND SLEAZY. THEY [XXX] ME AND ESSENTIALLY WANT TO CHARGE ME $4000 TO FIX THE TORQUE CONVERTER/TRANSMISSION. WHICH IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS, BECAUSE ACCORDING TO KBB MY CAR COULDN'T BE WORTH MORE THAN $2K. NOW, I'VE TAKEN MY JETTA TO BE RECALLED FOR TWO SEPARATE ISSUES (THE SPECIFICS I FORGET) OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. NEVER HAS VW EVER MENTIONED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2014 TRANSMISSION/POWER TRAINS. UPON DOING RESEARCH, THERE ARE HEAPS OF FOLKS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AS ME. SOME ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL, SOME ARE NOT. THIS IS ALL DEPENDENT ON VIN. NOW, I CALL MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY MY VIN ISN'T ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL. HOWEVER, I DISAGREE. THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE PLAGUING MY JETTA ARE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS LISTED ON THEIR WEBSITE - BASICALLY THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY. THE O-RING SEALS ARE CLEARLY LEAKING FLUID, WHICH IS IN TURN COMING IN CONTACT WITH MY HOT ENGINE. MY CAR OVERHEATS AND SMOKES, AND TOTALLY STALLS. I THINK THAT DESPITE WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS, MY JETTA IS ELIGIBLE FOR THIS RECALL. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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.

EVERY SINGLE LIGHT ON THE DASH IS TURNED ON EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO PROBLEM, AND THE SPEEDOMETER METER DOESN'T MOVE. I GOT THE ISSUE FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SAID THE COMPUTER ONLY NEEDED TO BE RESET, BUT THE VW DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT I STILL HAVE A BIG ISSUE THAT CAN EFFECT THE USAGE OF MY BRAKES, AIRBAGS, EVERYTHING, AND WANTS TO CHARGE ME $3500 FOR A NON-PROBLEM. SINCE THE SENSORS ARE ALL ON, I DON'T KNOW WHEN TO FILL UP OIL OR GAS, AND I WON'T BE ALERTED IF I HAVE A FLAT TIRE OR THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED THAT SINCE THE SENSORS ARE DEAD IT MAY NOT DEPLOY MY AIRBAG SYSTEM. I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S NOT WORTH FIXING, MY CAR ONLY HAS 49,537 MILES AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION; THIS IS ABSURD.

I HAD 38C4 RECALL FIXED ON MY CAR ON 1/14/20. PRIOR TO THAT I DID SOME ELECTRONIC ISSUES FIXED. RECENTLY I PARKED MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. I GOT OUT OF PARKING SPOT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE FWD. I WAS ON MY WAY BACK TO WORK WITH MY COWORKERS AND MY CAR JUST SUDDENLY DIED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT WENT A SMALL WAY FURTHER AND DIED AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO GALPIN VW, IN WEST HILLS, CA. THEY SAID THE COMPUTER READ THAT IT NEEDS A NEW GEARBOX. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN PART OF A COUPLE RECALLS BUT HASN'T BEEN FLAGGED. ONE OF THE RECALLS ENDED WITH PRODUCTION DATE 10/2013 AND MINE WAS MANUFACTURED 11/2013. THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN 34F6/4V. NOT SURE. MY CAR DIED BEFORE THE FIX FOR 38C4 ALSO. I WAS ON A BUSY STREET AND COULD HAVE GOT MYSELF AND MY COWORKERS KILLED. I TRIED TO SPEAK WITH VW CUSTOMER CARE, WITH JENNIFER WHO SAID AFTER SPEAKING WITH SUPERIORS THERE WAS NOTHING SHE COULD DO. MY CAR ONLY HAS ABOUT 62,000 MILES. I NEED HELP WITH THIS.

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, Mar 6, 2021
THE CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER AS YOU PRESS THE GAS. IT STALLS AND THEN PULLS BACK, NOT ALLOWING A SMOOTH DRIVE. IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AT AN INTERSECTION AFTER DRIVING THROUGH A STOP SIGN. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE BATTERY AND THE CAR ARE FIGHTING TO SEE WHICH MECHANISM DRIVES THE CAR AND THEN THE BATTERY DOES NOT ENGAGE. THE TRANSMISSION WAS STATED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE ISSUE. THIS CAR HAS HAD ANOTHER RECALL FOR FAULTY TRANSMISSION PARTS.

GOT THIS CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD SON. IT KEEPS STALLING WHILE HE IS DRIVING AND ALSO WHILE IDLING. BEEN TO SHOP 2 TIMES. HAVE REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND CRANKSHAFT AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK RIGHT AND I'M OUT $1200 IN REPAIRS! SERVICE CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR A WEEK....THEN 2 WEEKS...AND IT STILL IS STALLING. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. I HATE THIS CAR AND FEEL ABSOLUTELY RIPPED OFF BUYING IT USED. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY CHILD BECAUSE OF THIS STALLING ISSUE, VW IS GOING TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I HAVE SEEN YEARS AND YEARS OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND NO ONE HAS EVER GOTTEN A RESOLUTION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

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.
