i bought a 2010 jetta sportwagen 5 months ago and since then i had problems

1)check engine light. replace seal
2)car pulling on one side. realing stearing wheel
3)rns-510 not downloading maps. replace with new rns-510

i want to know if any body had similiar problems and is thi common on new cars.

You're kidding, the car was pulling so they replaced the steering wheel? Are you sure they didn't just redo the steering alignment? What seal did they replace? What does the dealer receipt say? What's the difference with the rns 510i vs. the regular 510?

ok i will post detailed info.

1.Replace seal, what seal? Details would help.

2. What does "realing" steering wheel mean?

Either way the dealer should be taking care of any problems under the bumper-bumper.

2. my guess is "re-align." Of course that would have no effect on pulling if the front end needs alignment.

This is a 2010 jetta sportwagen tdi. With autotransmission, touch screen navi and media device for ipod . Bought the car in TX and drove it back to NY. I saw'' check engine light'' inTN and stopped at a dealer in Knoxwille. The computer was showing in german ''nicht gefunden'' which means ''not found''. The dealer reset. I saw ''check light'' after 100 miles. In NY dealer said the same thing ''found nothing''

and told me to come in if happens again. In 2 weeks i was back and this time dealer kept car for 1 week. Here is what dealer stated''''''2399 ran gff found dtc p013 bank1 sensor2 system too lean when greasy instructed by tech line to find exhaust leak and place gasket between egr filter and main exhaust pipe disconnected both o2 sensors and road test vehicle 4 miles reset o2 sensors.......etc''''''''

 

[chittychittybangbang]

It sounds like an o2 sensor problem so they found an exhaust leak.
If it's fixed now just wait to see if it comes back. Hopefully this is all the problems you will see assuming that they really did fix the problem.

At this time dealer also updated navi system and performed flash of rns510 as per tsb 91-09-28 because i was not getting directions without the disk. It worked for 2 days and again the same problem. This time the dealer was instucted by the tech line to replace radio unit parts and since then it is working good. I had problem with rear armrest it wasnt pulling down and dealer replaced parts.Since then working good. At around 4400miles the steering wheel was tilting to the right when driving straight road.The dealer REALIGNED steering wheel. Since then working good.

Here Is My Question? Any Body Had Problems With A New Car?

The Service Advisor told me that the seal was really thin.

This is a great car . A good deal for its price and very economic. We fill up the tank once in two weeks.

Dont get me wrong, i paid nothing , all covered by warranty

 

[Lhonk]

Yes, new cars have problems all the time. Even Honda and Toyotas regularly have problems The real issue is if the dealer does a good job fixing it for you.

Does this problems affect the value of car???

 

[Stefan2006]

No, if the car is running fine when you sell it why would it? If you've had a recorded accident it would. The car's condition and the market determine the value of the car.
