| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While leaving to run errands with my 1 year old child in the carmy 2001 jetta glx vr6 started losing power as if it would stall. the check engine light and emissions warning lights came on. when the vehicle was taken to mckenna vw they said i had a bad ignition coil, wires, and spark plugs. while researching the problem i found that this is an epidemic level issue with 2001 jettas. a vw press release contained information that they were issuing a recall, however vw refused to include my car in the recall for reasons they will not disclose. they are selectively choosing which cars to fix, although this problem is very wide spread among all their vehicles. please investigate this issue as consumers are getting faced with $1100 bills for each ignition coil defect - i believe mine has 6. this is only the first one, however i've read other complaints that multiple coils are failing causing near-accidents. |
