VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on Nov 09, 2008.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with INTERIOR LIGHTING . i have a 2009 vw gti that is only 3 months old. the rear brakelight in the spoiler is filled with moisture and does not go away. i would like to be able to change this bulb out easily when it fails because it will if moisture remains trapped. however the factory manual warns that this is a multi-day job and may result in a broken spoiler and possible body damage. this appears to be a violation of fmvss 108 which requires that replacing the bulbs be simple and require only common tools. this is an issue on all 2006 - 2009 vw gti and r32 cars. *tr.Mileage was 1100 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on June 02, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i own a new 2009 vw gti, dsg, 2-door. i had it just over a month and has about 1100 miles on it. about 2 weeks ago, i parked in my condo and was in "park" and noticed the gear shift lights on the display (p-r-n-d-s) were flashing/blinking. i turned off key and next day everything was fine. about 3-4 days later the same thing happened while in "park" at my house. again, next day everything was fine. today, i was at a traffic light in "drive" with the foot on the brake and noticed the gear shift lights on the display were blinking again. when the light turned green, i stepped on the accelerator but nothing happened. the car was running, all power (radio, lights, etc) were operating fine, but it was like the car was in neutral. i shifted into park, reverse, neutral, then drive, and it did not correct the problem. i then turned the car off for 5 seconds then back on and it worked fine. i did research online and on multiple car forums, many others have had this problem recently as well. most have had their mechatronic module replaced, some have had their shifter assembly sensor replaced and some have had the transmission temperature sensor replaced. this could pose a serious threat of injury or death if this happens while someone, including myself, are turning into or from an intersection and the car goes into this "false neutral" stage with no accelerator to get out of the way of any traffic. please file this complaint and hopefully vw might issue a recall which is seriously needed for this problem. thank you! *tr.Mileage was 1100 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i purchased my 2009 vw gti in august of 2008 and have been using it as my daily driver since its purchase. not knowing the technicalities and specifications of the dsg transmission i drove the car as usual until after having the car for 2 or 3 months when i went to start the car the prnds was flashing in the dash and the key would not turn to unlock (i could attempt to start it though) nor would it remove from the ignition. after 3 failed attempts to start it i got out of the car and returned an hour later to start it and it worked without any problems. i made an appointment with my dealer and they "fixed the issue" my replacing a magnetic sensor in the triptronic unit. i drove the car as usual for a few months and everything was fine (or so i thought). i had a friend ride with me who owns another vw with a dsg transmission and he commented on how bad the shifts were and how it rode bad, so i began to investigate the issues (this being the only dsg car i have driven i did not know my car was driving bad). turns out the car had a faulty mechatronic unit that was causing my car to have rough shifts, "lurching" motions while in 1st gear and reverse, and then would feel as though the car was going to stall and cut out. i had become accustomed to driving the car as such and had to take extra precautions when parallel parking so my car wouldn't "lurch" and hit the car on either side while parallel parking. you can read about multiple other people with the same problem with a late model vw gti (particularly 2008 and 2009) on a vw enthusiast forum: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zeroforum?id=988. *tr .Volkswagen Gti 2009 problem was reported in ST.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on July 12, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . i bought my 2009 vw gti in january of this year (6 months ago). it now has 5100 miles. at about 2500 miles, the dsg automatic transmission started slipping out of gear at seemingly random times. it only happened a couple of times before my 3000 mile checkup. at that time, vw could not replicate the problem and told me that the car was "operating within specifications." in the last couple of weeks the problem has become a lot more frequent -- happening several times per day at seemingly random times (in parking lots and on the jersey turnpike). when it happens, it acts like i am holding in the clutch on an automatic (no gears at all) and the prindl light on the dashboard flashes. once, the shift lever also froze and i could not shift out of drive. the only way to get back into gear is to restart the car - and vw tells me that this also resets the fault indicator so that they can diagnose the problem. this problem causes a safety hazard -- losing all power to the engine when i am trying to merge into traffic or in a crowded place where i cannot coast to a safe place to stop and restart the car is extremely dangerous. the general shifting of the car in low gears is also somewhat jerky, but this problem pales in comparison to the complete loss of power at random times. *tr .Mileage was 5000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . purchased 2009 vw gti with dsg transmission in october 2008. transmission seemed fine until about 7000 miles. dsg started to have jerky/hard shifts in lower gears 1/2/3 and below 10mph would have surging during light acceleration or coasting to stop. from stopped position would also jerk forward with only a slight throttle input. problems seems to be only after the car has been driven15-20 minutes and gets hot. when the car is cold it drives normal. symptoms also seem worse during bumper to bumper traffic when more demand on lower gears and more heat. there is sometimes a noticeable clunking sound when dsg is down shifting from 2-1 and sometimes after the car has come to a stop and need to creep forward (still in 1st gear) will get the clunking sound and like the car almost stalls. all these symptoms happen in either d/s/m mode but reverse gear has no problems. have asked the vw dealer where i bought the car about this problem and they say they can not reproduce the symptoms. *tr.Mileage was 7000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 06, 2009.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . at the time of the incident i had been driving for about 20 minutes in moderate traffic on a city street. i stopped at a red light nb at a busy 5 way intersection on a curve. the gear selector was in d. when the light turned green i applied the gas pedal lightly and the car did not move forward. the engine rpms increased but the car made no forward progress. i then attempted to put the car in neutral and back into drive. also i put the car into s and tiptronic modes as well. none of these actions produced any effect. the only change that i noticed was that the lighted gear indicators next to the shifter flashed "prnds". because i was on a curve traffic approaching from the rear was not able to see me. as a result i activated the hazard flashers. cars were having to drive around me but fortunately a man in a pickup parked behind me and helped me push my car out of the lane of traffic. after getting the car into a safe spot i turned it off and upon restarting the car it functioned normally. *tr.Mileage was 488 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 04, 2012.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC had a problem with TIRES . on 4 aug 2012 at about 2:15pm my wife experienced a failure of her right (passenger side) rear tire. the tire is a dunlop sp sport 01 as 225/40r18. the car was being driven at about 35 mph on surface streets. my wife heard a "pop" noise and noticed that the tire inflation warning came on. she immediately called me and aaa. they put on the full-sized spare. when i inspected the tire the inside sidewall showed a "split" in one of the seams. i have experienced the same type of failure (inside sidewall showed a "split" in one of the seams) with the same tire type (dunlop sp sport 01 as 225/40r18) on 1 june 2012. that time the car was being driven on a highway at 65 mph. that time the right front (passenger) tire failed. this is definitely a safety issue! both tires failed wit approximately 30,000 miles on them. the dealer indicated that they were safe to install at the start of the summer season. we switch tires twice a year because the dunlops are considered more of a "performance" tire. after the first failure the dealer ordered a pair of tires. he ordered the same ones so the tread would match. not sure at this point that i will continue with dunlops. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 53699 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on Mar 05, 2014.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . about a month after buying the car during one of the larger snow storms this year in va. i was on my way to work and was stopping at a stop light when i get "christmas lights," on my dash, beeping three times and flashing ecs, as well as abs. i drove to work without huge incident knowing my abs and ecs were turned off at this point, and parked to see if turning the car on and off would reset the lights. i didn't worry until the next morning when on my home after a 12 hour night shift when it happened again, this time i was moving and trying to slow down on ice after the night of snow, as soon as i hit the brake the dashboard lit up again, causing me to slide into a curb, almost hitting another car. i then did some research and found it to be a faulty or bad abs control module, i then took my car into vw a few weeks later to get serviced for the issue, and they could not reproduce the problem. i have since shipped the car to spain while i am here for a couple years and have reproduced the problem without ice, snow, or even water, twice in a week period. now since my car is not covered under a certified pre owned warranty while in spain i will have to pay out of pocket to get it fixed, something that is obviously a safety issue! here is a link to others who've had the same problem: http://www.golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151505 as you can see, it is s problem that has been fixed with a new part. making this a pretty good reason to be recalled..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 45000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on July 09, 2013.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by Volkswagen of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . i was driving on the canyon and went into a turn at 40mph. i heard a beep and my abs, brake and traction control lights all went on at once. the lights stayed on but the parking brake light flashed. the car felt weird while driving and i was afraid to keep driving so i pulled over and turned the car off. after checking the codes through my vagcom cable i had a 01130 - abs operation code. the lights went away after i turned the car off and on but this same issue kept happening throughout the canyon until i arrived at my destination. i stopped pulling over and just drove with the lights carefully all the way home. the abs seems to be turned off as this malfunction occurs. this is dangerous especially on wet roads and on canyons. i tried contacting vw of america and they said they do not cover this problem. they wanted $2000+ for the replacement of the abs control module. i think this is not fair and should be a recall. this issue is known for all 2009 vw gti's. many 2009 gti's have faulty abs units. i hope this will be looked into and hopefully vwoa will start a recall campaign. thank you for reading..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 65000 miles.

VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009 car safety problem was reported on Oct 05, 2013.VOLKSWAGEN GTI 2009, manufactured by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . i was driving around a turn at roughly 60mph on a highway off-ramp during dry conditions when the dashboard chimed and several warning lights illuminated. both the esp and abs lights lit and remained lit continuously, and the brake light began to blink continuously. the car still drove normally, so i continued to drive another five minutes to my home. upon turning off the ignition completely and restarting the car, all three indicator lights were cleared. this same incident occurred on numerous occasions over the following months, during snowy/icy conditions. on any slippery road surface during heavy braking, the three indicator lights would illuminate and the dash would chime. this fault was always cleared by simply restarting the vehicle. however, the abs system never functioned properly; the brakes would simply lock up when this fault occurred. i brought the vehicle to a dealer to have a proper diagnoses completed, at which point it was determined that the abs module was faulty and needed to be replaced. the repair cost was estimated at $1700.00. i contacted vw's corporate north american office several times through phone call and mail, and i was denied coverage or payment assistance, as the vehicle was beyond the bumper-to-bumper warranty. i decided not to worry about the problem until this winter, but last week i had the fault occur again when driving at about 55mph on a wet roadway and hitting my brakes hard to avoid a deer that ran across the road. i was fortunate to miss the deer, but the brakes locked up and the rear-end of the vehicle began to slide around before i let off the brakes. i had another dealer diagnose the issue again, and this time they discovered that the abs pump and module were both faulty. i just had the repair performed at a cost of about $2,450.00. i feel this is a serious safety issue that should warrant a recall..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 47500 miles.
