I AM A 74 YEAR OLD RETIRED MAN, THE OWNER OF A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA HYBRID WITH 34,000 MILES PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER 2013. THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT LIT UP ON MY DASHBOARD LAST MONTH AND I PROMPTLY BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY LOCAL VW DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS SLIPPING IN FIRST GEAR (THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND THAT THE APPROPRIATE REPAIR WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN AND WAS INFORMED THAT AS THE CAR WAS 7 MONTHS BEYOND THE 5 YEAR 50,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS OF TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. I HAVE PERSONALLY SINCE SPOKEN TO TWO REPRESENTATIVES OF CORPORATE VW AS FOLLOWS: SHARON G. VWOA CUSTOMER CARE CENTER VW REGION CASE MANAGER SUPERVISOR PHONE: 248.754.3277 KEVIN SCOTT EXECUTIVE SPECIALIST IN CUSTOMER RELATIONS PHONE: 248.754.5000 EXT 43809 BOTH REITERATED THE PARTY LINE, I.E. THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE 5 YR. POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND VW HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS THE MALFUNCTION. NO CAR, BY ANY MANUFACTURER, SHOULD HAVE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 34,000 MILES REGARDLESS HOW OLD THE CAR MAY BE. FURTHERMORE, THE DEALER CONFIRMS THAT HE HAS SEEN MULTIPLE JETTA HYBRIDS WITH THE IDENTICAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT HE HAS REPLACED, MOST OCCURRING WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. HE TOO WAS ASTOUNDED TO LEARN THAT CORPORATE VW WOULD REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIR! TO BE TOLD THAT VW WILL NOT STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT IN WHAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT IS BEYOND BELIEF. AS I HAVE REACHED THE END OF MY ABILITY TO HAVE VW ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIR I AM HOPING THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTACT THEM ON MY BEHALF TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE, (XXXXXX) REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON A CITY STREET AND WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS STEPPED ON. THERE WAS NO FAILURE LIGHTS OR INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE WITH NO CHANGE. WE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR.

THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE VW DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAS 86,000 MILES. VW HAS SAID ITS OUT OF WARRANTY AND WILL NOT BE PAID FOR. THE FAILURE, AS DESCRIBED BY THE MECHANIC COULD BE DO TO THE CORROSIVE TRANSMISSION FLUID THAT OTHER CARS WERE RECALLED FOR. NOT SURE WHY OUR VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

Mileage: 86,000

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT VARYING SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION WILL JUST STOP ENGAGING CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO COME TO A STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND RESTART THE IGNITION. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT VW DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE GEARBOX HAS GONE BAD AND MY WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WHICH WOULD COST ROUGHLY $6100. THIS ALL HAPPENED JUST OUTSIDE THE 70K MILE WARRANTY. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT VW NUMEROUS TIMES BUT HAVE ENCOUNTERED 2+ HOUR WAITING TIMES JUST TO TALK TO SOMEONE. ONLINE RESEARCH HAS SHOW THAT THIS HAPPENS TO ALMOST ALL OF THE 2013 JETTA HYBRIDS BUT NO ADDITIONAL RECALL HAS BEEN MADE TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE STALLS THEN SPEEDS UP ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. SOMETIMES WHEN BRAKING, THE VEHICLE SURGES WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. THE VW DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS CORROSION OF THE CONTROL MODULE WITHIN THE GEARBOX. THIS WAS THE EXACT PROBLEM THE CAR WAS RECALLED FOR UNDER VW RECALL NUMBER 34F6/4V IN NOVEMBER 2013. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN IN DEC. 2013 PER THE RECALL TO CHANGE THE GEARBOX OIL BUT ONLY HAD A 12 MONTH WARRANTY. NOW, THE CORROSION CAUSED THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL TRIED TO PREVENT. THE RECALL DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE COST TO FIX IS $8500! SINCE IT OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY PERIOD, VW WILL NOT PAY. THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE THAT VW NEEDS TO CORRECT. THE RECALL FIX OF CHANGING THE TYPE OF GEARBOX OIL DID NOT STOP THE CORROSION WHICH DAMAGED THE CONTROL MODULE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED, LOST POWER, AND THEN REGAINED POWER.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V568000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE HYBRID SYSTEM DRIVE HAS FAILED, FUEL DOOR ACTUATOR PART THAT WAS RECOMMENDED IS INCORRECT IN THEIR SYSTEM. I THINK THEY HAVE DIFFICULT ISSUES WITH READING MY VIN BECAUSE MY CAR ACTUALLY HAS NUMEROUS RECALLS BUT AREN'T SEEN. EMISSION REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DONE AND NOT RESOLVED. AFTER THOSE REPAIRS BY VW DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY, THE HYBRID SYSTEM FAILED AND NOW DOES NOT ENGAGE THE ELECTRIC MOTOR

2013 JETTA HYBRID 7 SPEED TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 63K. TRANSMISSION DASH LIGHT DIDN'T ILLUMINATE BUT RATHER THE HYBRID ERROR MESSAGE...WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 100K HYBRID WARRANTY. VW SAYS I NEED TO PAY EVEN THOUGHT THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS FAILING.

MY 2013 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA HYBRID WAS AMONGST THOSE WITH THE GEARBOX OIL RECALL. IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN DECEMBER OF 2012, AND THE GEARBOX OIL WAS REPLACED IN DECEMBER 2013 BY THE DEALERSHIP. LIKE OTHERS WHO WERE A PART OF THIS RECALL, MY VEHICLE HAS SUFFERED FROM GRINDING NOISES AND LURCHING WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE DOWN THE SLOPE OF MY DRIVEWAY. IT ALSO WILL LURCH AT TIMES WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND (WITH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES WHERE THE ENGINE KICKS ON WHILE IDLING FOR TWO SECONDS, SHUTS OFF FOR ONE SECOND, AND THEN KICKS BACK ON FOR TWO SECONDS. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A VW DEALERSHIP IN JUNE THAT TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT WOULD COST $6,300 BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY (~95,000 MILES, 2.5 YEARS OF DRIVING). AFTER READING SEVERAL OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT SHARE THIS SAME ISSUE, IT APPEARS THAT VOLKSWAGEN TRIED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT BY REPLACING THE CORROSIVE OIL INITIALLY USED, BUT THAT THE TIME THE OIL WAS A PART OF THE GEARBOX, SUFFICIENT DAMAGE WAS DONE TO REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO VW AND THEY SIMPLY STATE THAT THEY CHANGED THE OIL (12 MONTHS AFTER IT WAS IN THE GEAR BOX AND A PART OF THE TRANSMISSION) AND THAT THE WARRANTY HAS PASSED AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY THE COST. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT I WILL TRY AND ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND BE UNABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES DESCRIBED BY OTHERS. THE VW DEALERSHIP PREDICTED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AT SOME POINT, AND THAT I SHOULD DRIVE IT UNTIL IT DOES AND THEN GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SYSTEMIC ISSUE TIED TO THIS GROUP OF PREVIOUSLY RECALLED VW'S AND THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE TO REQUIRE THEY REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION.

ERROR CODE P309D, EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO HYBRID MODE, THEN 1 DAY LATER, EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. VOLKSWAGEN HAS RECALLED SAME MODEL AND YEAR, HOWEVER THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. GEAR SHIFT BOX REPLACED UNDER RECALL IN 2014. VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE WILL NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR OR INCLUDE IT IN THE RECENT NEW RECALL. WHILE DRIVING AND PRESSING THE GAS PETAL, THE CAR WON'T MOVE FORWARD AND FEELS LIKE ITS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. HAS TO TURN OFF AND IN THE CAR TO GO 50 FT. CAR ISN'T DRIVEABLE OR SAFE.

MECHATONICS UNIT KEEPS FAILING. CAR EITHER LOSES DRIVE COMPLETELY OR SHIFTING BECOMES VERY ROUGH WHICH CREATES A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC.

THE UNIT WAS REPLACED, BUT THE REPLACEMENT UNIT FAILED IN OCTOBER OF 2017 WITH ABOUT 120,000 MILES. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL OF 2013 JETTA HYBRIDS, BUT THIS PARTICULAR VIN DOESN'T SEEM TO BE COVERED BY THAT RECALL, AND YET IT HAS THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE RECALLED UNITS.

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND RUNNING. I TRIED TO REVERSE AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE. MY CAR MADE HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISES AND WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME ON. THE CAR ONLY HAS 68,000 MILES AND THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME TODAY THAT IT WOULD COST $9,000 TO REPAIR IT. I'D GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE UP TO THAT POINT. THE CAR HAD A RECALL ON THE GEARBOX FLUID, AND I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE IS A RESULT OF THAT INITIAL MISTAKE FROM VW. I'VE READ FORUMS AND BLOGS FROM MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION FAILURE EARLY ON.

LETTER FROM CONGRESSMAN ZELDIN ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TRANSMISSION RECALL. *LD DESPITE THE CONSUMER TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE RECALL REPAIR, THE TRANSMISSION STILL FAILED. VOLKSWAGEN REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. *JB

I FIRST TOOK THIS CAR TO THE DEALER IN LATE 2015 TO REPORT AN UNUSUAL DRIVING CHARACTERISTIC I HAVEN'T EXPERIENCED IN OVER 40 YEARS OF DRIVING. WHEN INCHING FORWARD OR BACKWARDS IN THIS CAR, THERE IS A "JERKY" UNEXPECTED, TEMPORARY SURGING OF THE VEHICLE. THE EXPERIENCED VW MECHANIC ATTRIBUTED THIS TO A "DRY CLUTCH" THAT OPERATES MUCH LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. WHEN SLIGHTLY RELEASING THE BRAKE TO MOVE SLOWLY EITHER FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, THE CAR HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED TO "RELEASE" THE CLUTCH AND MOVE FORWARD -- SINCE MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THE BRAKE IS RELEASED THAT IS WHAT THE DRIVER INTENDS. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE JUST RELEASING THE BRAKE TO INCH FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, AS WHEN PARKING, THE SUDDEN SURGE FEELS VERY UNEXPECTED AND DANGEROUS. IN AUGUST 2016, WE NOTICED A LARGE POOL FLUID UNDER THE FRONT OF THE CAR. AFTER DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE MECHATRONIC DRY CLUTCH UNIT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THE NEW MECHATRONICS UNIT WAS INSTALLED, UNDER WARRANTY AND WITHOUT ANY COST TO US, WE REALIZED TWO DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS NOT EXPERIENCED BEFORE: 1) THE DASHBOAD DISPLAYED THE GEAR THE CAR WAS IN FOR THE FIRST TIME, I.E., D1, D2 THROUGH D7. THAT FEATURE HAD SIMPLY NEVER WORKED BEFORE, UNBEKNOWST TO US AT THE TIME; 2) THE CAR DROVE WITH MORE POWER, AND IT APPEARS BETTER GAS MILEAGE AS WELL SO FAR. THE SERVICE REP MENTIONED THAT THE MECHANIC HAD TO SEE THE PHYSICAL MECHANTRONICS UNIT FIRST, BECAUSE IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL BY VIN # ALONE IF IT IS THE CORRECT PART. THE CONCLUSION I HAVE DRAWN IS THAT THE WRONG MECHATRONICS UNIT WAS INSTALLED ON OUR CAR ORIGINALLY, WHICH CAUSED NOT ONLY BAD DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS, BUT ALSO DID NOT REGISTER THE GEAR THE CAR WAS IN ON THE DASHBOARD READOUT. I HAVE A REMAINING QUESTION WHAT OTHER DAMAGE THIS CAUSED TO THE CAR, AND HOW VW INTENDS WILL HANDLE THAT IN THE FUTURE.

I'M REALLY FRUSTRATED HERE WITH VOLKSWAGEN IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR JANUARY THE CAR'S BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN I'VE BEEN AT THE DOCTOR. AT FIRST IT WAS THE WATER PUMP FOR THE TURBO THEY HAD TO BE REPLACED THEN TWO WEEKS AFTER I GOT THAT REPAIRED IT WAS THE BRAKE SENSOR THEN A WEEK AFTER THAT IT WAS THE VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKES, AND THE WORK DOESN'T STOP FROM THERE IT SEEMS LIKE FROM THERE I HAD TO GET A REPAIR KIT IT'S A SEAL THAT GOES BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE INCLUDING THE DUAL CLUTCH FOR THE HYBRID AND ENGINE TRANSMISSION. AS OF TODAY MAY 13TH 2016 I WAS JUST TOLD THAT VOLKSWAGEN IS GOING AHEAD AND REPLACE THE ENTIRE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE SAME ERROR CODE CAME UP FROM THE LAST REPAIRS THAT WERE DONE THERE'S BEEN ROUGHLY AROUND $12,000 REPAIRS EITHER PAID BY THE INSURANCE EXTENDED WARRANTY OR VOLKSWAGEN. I'VE PAID OUT OF POCKET ROUGHLY AROUND $500 PLUS RENTAL INSURANCE THAT I HAD TO GET BECAUSE OF GET ANOTHER CAR TO MOVE AROUND. I HAVE FILED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA TO HAVE THE CAR REPLACED BUY THEM AND THEY CONTINUE TO DENY LEFT AND RIGHT SAYING THAT I SHOULD BE GOING THROUGH THE WARRANTY REPAIRS. IT SEEMS LIKE NO MATTER WHAT REPAIRS ARE DONE TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AND 4000 MILES LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS THERE'S DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN THERE IN THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT I CAN'T DRIVE FAR ENOUGH OR TAKE A SMALL LITTLE VACATION WITH THE FAMILY WITHOUT HAVING SOME TYPE OF CONCERNED IF MY VEHICLES IN IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

WE OWN A VW JETTA HYBRID HAVE APPROX. 70K MILES. VW HAS ADVISED WE NEED TO REPLACE A MECHATRON UNIT TO THE COST OF APPROX. $2000. HAVE BEEN READING THAT THERE ARE MASSIVE ISSUES WITH THIS PART AND THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. PLEASE ADVISE.

CAR WAS RUNNING FINE, BUT AS WE DROVE DOWN THE FARM TO MARKET ROAD THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGED (PERMANENTLY) AND WE COASTED TO A STOP. THE CAR HAD BEEN REPAIRED UNDER THE 2013 RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER WANTS $6,000 TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS MENTIONED IN THE 2013 CAMPAIGN.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE STREET WHEN THE CHECK HYBRID FLASHED ON MY DASH. THE CAR STILL CONTINUED TO DRIVE NORMAL ON ENGINE POWER BUT WOULD NO LONGER SWITCH INTO HYBRID MODE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE CLUTCH THAT SWITCHES THE ELECTRIC MOTOR TO THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD AND THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND THAT ODD BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION RAN FINE WHEN RUNNING ON THE GAS ENGINE ONLY. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE MY CAR HAS 73000 MILES AND THE POWERTRAIN COVERAGE ENDS AT 60000. I STATED THAT I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE HYBRID WARRANTY WHICH IS 100000 MILES. ALSO BECAUSE IT WAS THE CHECK HYBRID WARNING LIGHT THAT CAME ON AND NOT THE CHECK ENGINE. TO NO AVAIL THE DEALER WOULD NOT BUDGE. THE CAR IS AT THE WAITING ON A NEW TRANSMISSION TO ARRIVE. I FIND THE WHOLE SITUATION IRONIC THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACE AND IT IS NOT COVERED GIVEN THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED ABOUT THE CONTAMINATED TRANSMISSION FLUID. (RECALL WAS DONE) AND THE FACT THAT I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN WITH UPDATED MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE INTERVALS JUST 4 WEEKS BEFORE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED.

THE BRAKES CONSTANTLY SQUEAL WHEN BRAKING. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO SOUTH COAST SANTA ANA VW 3 TIMES AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THEY INSIST THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AND THAT IT'S JUST PART OF THE MATERIAL THEY MANUFACTURE THE BRAKES WITH. THEY CLAIM THAT THE SQUEALING IS NORMAL AND CAUSED BY BRAKE DUST. THE RESULT OF THE FAULTY BRAKES IS LOSS IN STOPPING POWER. THE CAR ALSO HAS BEEN LUNGING OR WHAT FEELS LIKE SLIPPING GEARS WHEN I ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE. IT 'S A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER WHEN DRIVING ON BOTH SURFACE STREETS AND STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THAT CREATES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. THE CONDITION SEEMS TO PERSIST MORE WHEN STARTING FROM A COLD START. VOLKSWAGEN SOUTH COAST DEALER IN SANTA ANA CLAIMS TO BE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, BUT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE IT COUNTLESS TIMES AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS.

JETTA HYBRIDS -SEVEN-SPEED DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION THAT RESULTED IN A LOSS OF DRIVE. THIS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AND WHAT APPEARS ON THE RECALL. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND A COAST AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS. I WAS FORCED TO GET A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR. I AM SERIOUSLY WONDERING WHY MY JETTA IS NOT "INCLUDED" IN THE 2013 VW JETTA HYBRID RECALL??? I HAVE BEEN TO THE ANTWERPEN VW DEALERSHIP IN GLEN BURNIE, MD ON 2 OCCASIONS AND THEY CONTEND MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. EVEN THOUGH WHEN I CALLED, I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT IS LISTED IN THE RECALL INFORMATION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART HAS TO BE ORDERED FROM GERMANY AND IT WOULD TAKE A WEEK TO ARRIVE AND THEN THEY COULD DO THE WORK. IT HAS BEEN OVER A WEEK AND CAN' T GET ANYONE TO CONTACT ME. NOT ONLY THAT, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MEET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER(HE WAS IN AN IMPORTANT MEETING) BUT HE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS. I WAS ALSO NOT PERMITTED TO GET A LOANER CAR FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR SOMETHING THAT IS BEYOND MY CONTROL. *TR

AFTER FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES OR LESS, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A FULL STOP, ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE HESITATES FOR A LEAST 3 TO 5 SECONDS MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE ENGAGES AND THE VEHICLE STARTS TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 7 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND THE DEALER HAS INDICATED THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH MULTIPLE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THE SAME DSG TRANSMISSION ON 2014 VW JETTA DIESEL MODELS. IT FELT LIKE A CHOPPY STUTTER. IT WAS WORSE WHEN THE CAR WAS COLD BUT ALWAYS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS APPLYING JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON THE THROTTLE. I ALSO HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE WHEN LAUNCHING THE CAR, WHEN PUTTING THE PEDAL DOWN HARD WHEN ENTERING FAST TRAFFIC FROM A DEAD STOP. I'D HIT THE GAS AND THE WHOLE CAR WOULD HEDGE AS POWER WOULD DISAPPEAR FOR A TERRIFYING FEW SECONDS. IT WAS SOMETHING QUITE DIFFERENT THAN TURBO LAG. I HAVE A COMPLAINT INTO VW AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING WITH THE DEALER TO RESOLVE. AS OF 4/9/14, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN AN APPOINTMENT. *TR
