2009 Volkswagen Jetta 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD
| 22000 mi | ABS module failed, covered under extended warranty. Replaced whole module. |
2009 Volkswagen Jetta 4dr Sedan
170-horsepower 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 1000 mi | Sticky brake pedal. Service advisor would not go with me for a ride. Said "they all do that," despite my trial of a like model on the lot that "didn't do that." Mechanic could not find a problem using his diagnostic machine. |
| 2000 mi | Visited a second dealer with a MUCH BETTER service dept. Service advisor drove car and recognized the problem. Mechanic found a faulty power brake booster. Part not in stock but was ordered. Brake pedal is sticky at the top of its travel. Dealer says its a characteristic not a defect. Offer was made to change to a new pedal assembly but that might make it worse. Original pedal may improve over time. |
2009 Volkswagen Jetta 4dr Sedan

| 64300 mi US $169 |
Replaced a rear caliper that occasionally hung up. Took two hours. |
| 78058 mi | ABS module replaced under Safety Recall 45F2 - Warranty extended by VW. Original recall only programmed the software. This module later failed & had to be replaced. |

ABS/Traction Control/Stability Control disables itself about 10% of the times that it needs to activate. I was told this would likely cost >$1000. |

Rear RH caliper seized. I guess the boot had been torn during another maintenance. |

Righthand rear caliper was leaking where the parking brake cable is connected. Caliper replaced (only R/H side) as well as pads and rotors on both rear sides |
