problem #11

Jan 041996

Jetta

  • miles
Following approximately two dozen visits to the dealership for a correction, nothing was found. At one point an air flow sensor was replaced, but the it did not correct the problem. Often times a hesitation will occur when I'm acccelerating into traffic or attempting to climb a hill or mountain. In addition, when shifting into gear the transmission will jerk and shifting into gear very roughly while climbing a hill/mountain.
