The car has been jerking when you-??re driving and sometimes it jerks forward as you-??re parking it while it-??s in the parked position. Then I-??m driving home from work, it-??s raining heavy. I get to the Valaro store by my house; I put $40 worth of gas in the car after work drove home parked the car the next morning it would not turn over, would not ignite at all I took it to the shop. They said the computer was fried from the rain leaking through the windshield or under the windshield. They said it-??s a major problem with this model car. The mechanic said the computer could not be fixed. He sent it to the Volkswagen repair shop it can-??t be fixed and to replace it cost thousands of dollars !!! I can provide an estimate of the problems and possible repairs if needed. The mechanic stated it is not worth the cost to fix the car. I did notice that there is a powertrain recall and my mechanic is also stating that the transmission is the jerking problem we-??re having.. I really think these should be recalled however I needed to submit my issues and see what you final decision would be on both situations, the powertrain transmission problem and the computer burnout problem thank you so much and hope you-??re having a great day

Transmission slips extremely badly even though it doesnt even have 90K miles almost makes it impossible to drive in city and is dangerous when needing to speed up and slow down. Transmission slips more when speeding up from slow speeds and will reach high rpms of 4700 even when not touching the gas but I have had it slip on the highway out of nowhere and it peaked at 7300 RPM when not touching the gas which is past the redline on the rpms. It happens almost every day I drive to work (20 minutes on the freeway) and shouldn't be happening with this low amount of miles.

After engine warms up the car jerks when shifting gears up and down. It gets stuck in 3rd gear at times. I took the car to serra Volkswagen at 1490 center point pkwy, birmingham, al 35215. The mechanic stated that he found metal shaven in the transmission and drained it. After a few days the same problem occurred in 2018. I just parked the car until I can figure what's really going on with my car. Today July 7, 2019 I drove the car to my new resident and it got stuck in 3rd gear. Please help me with this problem concerning my transmission.

I purchase my Volkswagen Jetta 2007 for a dealer in palm springs area, I always had troubles with my vehicle. I showed my father the agreement on the form and I was upset to see they took advanced of my daughter, the car was posted as is. A month after she bought the car the transmission was causing trouble, the car would hesitater then make a chirp noise and then hit a faster jump into gear. Sometimes the car would make skid marks. Now my daughter was trying to back out of our garage today July 27, 2018 and the vehicle doesn't shift to any gears.

I bought this vehicle in 2015, it had 72K miles then, now it has 90K miles. The last 1 year I have been having issues with the vehicle jerking when it warms up enough especially when I get to a stop light and start driving, often times the engine revvs up so much as if someone hit me from behind and then settles down. VW did extend the warranty knowing about this defect up to 100K and 6 years whichever comes first. There are a lot of forums where several of the affected are discussing this issue. This issue happens for auto transmission vehicle. Not sure why this was not considered a recall, since the gear goes up by itself often times as if I may hit the vehicle on the front. The issue is with transmission valve that VW agreed is found defective. I feel that they should make it a recall if the part if found defective. It is an expensive part and the parts and labor costs about 2K. This issue has impacted pretty much all the vehicles made during 2005 until 2007 or 2008 and is affecting all 2.5 engines especially the wulfsburg edition which is one of the high end in that model. Appreciate if you guys have a look at the problem and do the needful. The pattern is such that the vehicle runs just fine when just started for about 20 minutes, once the engine warms up the vehicle will start acting up, when in high way with a stop and go traffic or at local roads. The engine will rev up to 4 or 5 suddenly, there is a lot of hesitation, I have to give very light accelaration in order to avoid hitting the vehicle on the front. It becomes life threatening often times.

My vehicle has approximately 165K miles. Right at about 120K miles, the transmission started shifting harshly. At times, the transmission would get stuck at 3rd gear, and the transmission indicator panel lights up prnd all at once. This usually happens when driving hills, or stop and go driving. My airbag light is also on constantly. I've had the issue fixed previously, however, the issue has returned. Lastly, my passenger side door does not like all the time. I've tried to remotely and manually lock the door; however, it is not working properly.

Automatic transmission slips/jerks/jumps when upshifting and downshifting at low speeds and highway speeds, brought to dealer and had transmission diagnostic conducted, reported no problems and stated they could not duplicate the erratic shifting. Now currently thuds and physically jumps when shifting from 1st to 2nd to 3rd and even 4th to 5th, brought it in again to GMC dealer and they said I would be needing a new transmission at only 110000 miles, advised me to check my car VIN# for valve body recall.

The contact owns a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta. While parked, the vehicle would independently roll backwards or forward. The contact would have to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle from rolling. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

Started experiencing hard shifting in the lower gears (1-3) as described in the extended warranty for the transmission valve body. Unfortunately I am already past this warranty date and had no idea of the problem until it happened, and there is no recall on this.

Started experiencing hard shifting in the lower gears (1-3) as described in the extended warranty for the transmission valve body. Unfortunately I am already past this warranty date and had no idea of the problem until it happened, and there is no recall on this. The VW dealership in my area said it is about a $2300 fix.

I noticed the engine light went on few weeks ago then the shafts' lights started turning on all at the same time (P-R-N-D). The car was moving and a knocking sound started when the weather gets hot. I took it to couple of car shop services and non was able to demonstrate the problem but rather, they offered to change the whole transmission for +4,500 dollars so that they would work it simply with a good profit! while driving earlier today, there was a very weird sound coming from the engine and I planed to take it to VW services so that they'd take a look at it. Unfortunately, few minutes later the car stopped moving and I had to pull up. I just found out that VW is calling VW Jetta 2006-2009, engine 2.01 for the exact same reason. Though, my car is 2.5 engine but happened to have the exact same problems. I'm towing the car tomorrow morning and I'll take it to VW services and hopefully they will consider this incident for the 2.5L cars also.

Dsg transmission metronic unit failure.

Was driving on the freeway at about 3 in the afternoon traveling at approximately 60 mph when car stopped accelerating in the middle of on going traffic. Power to vehicle dyed out causing me to stall in the center of a busy freeway. This problem has occurred several other times. I have called Volkswagen but they would not take full responsibility for on going problem.. my vehicle has an extended warranty because of this known problem but yet they will only cover 25% of repair cost.. this vehicle is a hazard.. somebody please address this issue quick before there is a casualty..

Tiptronic transmission failure to defective valve body that should have been covered under extended warranty but denied by VW. Took car in several times during the extended warranty period that I purchased, one time for shifting issues at low speeds. They were unable to duplicate problem and there were no error codes. The extended warranty that I purchased but the extended warranty issued by VW was good for 7 years or 100,000. At approximately 99,500 problem had been getting worse so I took it back to the dealership. I was informed that it still was not throwing an error code but in the master technician's opinion, the transmission had a problem but it was not the fault of the valve body, the covered part. Also, this is a non-serviceable transmission meaning the entire transmission would have to be replaced rather than rebuilding. Took to an independent service center who diagnosed it as a defective valve body (the part covered under the extended warranty). In the process of replacing the defective part, a rebuild kit and torque converter were replaced as part of this process. Submitted the invoices to VW. Received letter that payment for repairs was denied because the invoices that I submitted stated that "the repair performed were to replace the entire transmission and torque converter". not true. Called customer service. Detailed everything I did here. After some checking, the representative "regretted" to inform me that they could not help in covering the costs of the repair. To say that I am frustrated beyond belief is putting it mildly.

Was accelerating onto the expressway during rush hour from full stop at on ramp due to traffic congestion and at around 20 or so mph the car loss power and the RPM quickly increased as if you were pressing the clutch in a manual transmission vehicle, this is a automatic vehicle so the issue was definitely caused by a malfunction somewhere within the driven train or electrical sensors controlling the drive train. Since that time this frightening issue has been increasing in frequency. This is a dangerous issue that needs to be addressed before someone is injured. A basic internet search shows that my case is not unusual for this vehicle.

While driving on a major highway, my VW's dsg transmission started slipping and shifting erratically. The engine rpms would increase to 6000 then drop suddenly to 500. While this was happening, the engine would suddenly reengage, causing the car to surge and buck. The transmission would then slip again, and the engine surging and vehicle bucking cycle would continue. Symptoms of the dsg transmission failure occurring; transmission would slip. Rpms would increase then decrease suddenly and without warning. Engine would engage then disengage causing the vehicle to violently buck, shake, and jerk. The prnds nomenclature would flash rapidly, indicating a fault within the system. The final indication of the severity of the dsg transmission's complete failure was the cars inability to move under throttle. The cars velocity was completely uncontrollable. I am very meticulous about the maintenance of my vehicles. VW requires a fluid and filter change at 40,000 for the dsg. I had mine done at 39,000 this happened on I70 on the border of pa/md. I was able to move the car to the shoulder without loss of life or property. However, had this dsg/transmission failure occurred on 495 in va/md, ( which was my location just 2 hours prior) the results could have been catastrophic. VW is well aware of this issue with its dsg transmission, both domestically and internationally. Note the VIN specific recall in the us for dsg/mechatronic/ temp sensor. However, this issue is widespread. My VIN is not specified in the recall, yet my vehicle has experienced the same issue and failure as that specified in the recall. The failure of my dsg transmission was completely unexpected and without warning. Had I not had the opportunity to pull my car safely to the side of the road, the results could have been severe injury or worse yet, loss of life for me or other drivers.
