2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA — Complaint #1092872

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS filed July 31, 2014

NHTSA complaint #1092872 (ODI reference 10617926) concerns a 2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA and was filed on July 31, 2014. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 12, 2014. The vehicle had 45,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as suspension:rear:springs:coil springs, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same VOLKSWAGEN JETTA cohort independently describe similar suspension:rear:springs:coil springs failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
