2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA — Complaint #1833354
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OTHER FUEL TYPES:TURBO/SUPERCHARGER filed August 15, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1833354 (ODI reference 11479282) concerns a 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA and was filed on August 15, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 15, 2022. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:engine:other fuel types:turbo/supercharger, 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 engine and engine cooling:engine:other fuel types:turbo/supercharger 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 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Last year 2021 I replaced the DPF and the is the Turbo charger. One year later 32k miles the turbo blows again just shy of the 25k mile warranty. This is the 3rd time on this vehicle replacing all components.
