2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA — Complaint #1895657
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS:HOSES/VALVES/SENSORS filed May 17, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1895657 (ODI reference 11522558) concerns a 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA and was filed on May 17, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 1, 2022. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, gasoline:storage:evaporative emissions:hoses/valves/sensors, 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 fuel system, gasoline:storage:evaporative emissions:hoses/valves/sensors 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 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
There is a confirmed evap recall for my year and model, recall number 20CQ. When I check against my vin, it says my vehicle has zero recalls however I have the exact symptoms and issues as described in the recall. The recall is for a faulty evap purge valve and I don't think it is coincidence that my vehicle has a check engine light on for a Very small evap leak. I've had it checked my multiple mechanics and no one can identify what the issue is and we've tried multiple troubleshooting steps. At this point the most logical issue is the purge valve. I believe there are more affected cars with the same make and model than the recall is projecting.
