Jetta 4-cyl

Strong fuel smell coming in from ac vents when car at a stop. Seen this car model was previously recalled for fuel smell in past. When driving off smell seems to go away since air seems to be flowing it out of engine bay.

Jetta

  • 185,000 miles
Recall -engine and engine cooling I have a 07 Jetta 2.0L. 2 months ago I noticed a gas smell when I took my oil cap off I noticed there was a lot of steam/smoke & I could tell that's where the smell was coming from. There was nothing visible other than the steam/gas vapor. The coolant level never moves. I was only getting 15 miles to the gallon because it was leaking into my engine. On 7/13/19 the engine seized (locked) up while I was driving it. I was driving my wife to work with our 5 year old son. I had just turned on the street of her work going 10 miles an hour & it felt like my car just died. I couldn't even get the engine to turn over. I had to get my vehicle towed to a repair shop. Which is when I found out that the engine seized. I have absolutely no transportation now. (recall faulty air bags my car is miles away at the repair shop, so I can't take a picture of the air bag light but it turned on about a week ago and hasn't shut off. My concern is that this is something that a repair shop can not fix/ its going to be so expensive that I can't afford to fix it. It has faulty air bags that can just go off while I'm driving! safety bags are a 'must have' & it is illegal to sell/produce any non safe vehicle! I seen that Volkswagen company made a hand full of recalls on this vehicle over the last 8 years. The previous owner kept the car in a garage & started it daily he just never checked for recalls. Parts on this car are compatible with the 06-09 Jettas& sportwagons & he had replaced parts. I'm unsure which ones were replaced. My vehicle falls under the category of a VW Jetta sedan. I'm having all of the same recall issues that the Jetta is recalling for. & the horn does not work when it's parked. Your company posted the recalls for all of the same problems that I'm having with this vehicle! recall no. 40J2/S4. Recall no. 20I4/U1. Recall no. Q8.
