problem #4

Jetta California Edition 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 67,428 miles

Car lost complete power at least 10 miles apart 3 times in a row. Power would shut off and after 5-10 minutes I was able to turn it back on. After the last occurrence I decided to call a tow truck as I had my daughter in the car with me.

Jetta Tdi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 75,000 miles

Driving 60mph on a 2 lane highway, 20 miles to the closest town and the car just quits. Lost all power, all gauges shut down, lost power steering....lucky we didn't get in an accident. Had it towed. Never got a straight answer as to what was wrong. Said they'd never heard if it happening.

After a quick Google search- what do you know- lots of reports! VERY dangerous!
