Some Volkswagen Jetta owners report experiencing blind spot monitor failures, often linked to recurring sensor issues. These problems may arise due to obstructed radar sensors on the rear bumper, which can be affected by dirt, misalignment, or aftermarket modifications. Additionally, some owners find that the system may not be activated properly, requiring them to navigate the infotainment system to ensure the Blind Spot Monitor is enabled. There are also concerns regarding the technical expertise of some service center technicians, as they may lack familiarity with the blind spot monitoring technology, which can hinder effective troubleshooting. Furthermore, while there have been reports of blind spot monitor failures in various VW models due to manufacturing quality issues, specific widespread problems with the Jetta's system have not been extensively documented. For ongoing issues, it is recommended that owners consult a certified Volkswagen technician for a thorough diagnosis and resolution.
