Select a model year below to view detailed NHTSA complaint data, active recalls, and lemon law eligibility information for that specific Volkswagen Jetta.
The Volkswagen Jetta has accumulated 927 total NHTSA complaints across all model years in our database. If your Jetta has a recurring defect that Volkswagen’s dealers have been unable to fix, you may qualify for a buyback or replacement under California’s Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.
Common qualifying issues include engine and transmission problems, electrical system failures, brake defects, and safety-related concerns that persist after multiple dealer repair attempts.
Under Cal. Civ. Code § 1793.22, a vehicle is presumed to be a “lemon” if the manufacturer or dealer has made 4+ repair attempts for the same defect, 2+ attempts for a safety defect, or the vehicle has been out of service for 30+ cumulative days — all within 18 months or 18,000 miles from delivery.
