Transmission problems? once my car got up to 80,000 miles when in traffic I take my foot off the accelerator while in drive and then accelerate sometimes there's a jerking as if the car doesn't know what gear to be in. Normally happens at any speed typically while driving slowing down and accelerating. Date when it started I really started noticing it in January 2019. I also noticed excessive oil consumption and when oil gets low on dipstick no low oil light on dash. Oil gets lower than dipstick. Dipstick becomes dry but no sound difference in engine and still runs normally.

I just bought this car in 2016 at 30K miles and it currently has only 50K miles the engine suffered catastrophic engine failure due to a faulty timing chain tensioner that the manufacturer will not recall or replace. I've read that this is a common issue with VW and Audi 2.0T engines in some cases I've heard of engines fires as well as power failure on freeways that caused potentially deadly accidents, lost of handling loss of power in general. Luckily this occurred to me while not in motion but instead in a driveway. My car has been out of service for 6 months now and is no longer covered by the manufacture warranty and will be forced to pay for this out of pocket.

The service light on my vehicle came on 4-5-18 when I arrived home. I turned off my car and turned it back on as the service light was no longer on. On Friday April 6, 2018 I went to the store and came back home as the vehicle was operating properly and parked on my driveway. Approximately one hour later I went to return some items as the vehicle will not crank over. My vehicle was towed to a near by VW dealership and four days later I was informed that the timing chain jumped and may have caused damage to my motor. I was informed that it may cost anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000. I was inform that a new motor will cost $10,000. While viewing the internet I noticed multiple complaints, issues and law suits pertaining to this similar issue. Why is this not a re-call with multiple complainants?

One day I was pulling out of a parking lot onto a small street with a slight hill. Felt like the car was stalling but I thought maybe I didn't press on the gas hard enough. The car rolled slightly backwards until I hit the brakes. I tried pressing the gas harder. Next thing I knew, the engine was off and battery warning light came on. A couple of other lights came on as well, but those come on and then go off often so I don't know what to make of that. The next day I was driving down the road and as I slowed down with traffic approaching stop light the vehicle started to shake as if it was trying to quit on me. I pulled over into a bank parking lot to stop and restart the car. Another light came on but it is off now. I'm worried that this will happen again and result in an accident. Not sure what is wrong or if the vehicle is safe to drive.
