car image   #8 - Automatic Transmission problem of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta

The car was a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. The VIN of this vehicle is 3VWRL7AJ1A_. I have a 2010 vw Jetta tdi with dsg automatic transmission. Vehicle has 15k miles on it thus far. When pulling out onto a street from a complete stop there is a definite and hazardous hesitation before the vehicle will move forward. This issue existed since the car was new. Sometimes the hesitation is very short before the car will move, other times it takes the car a moment as if the car has to "think" about what it is supposed to do. When I push the accelerator pedal the car just sits there! the longer hesitations are fairly frequent and are a danger to other vehicles, my family and myself. I don't trust this car to be able to quickly move out of harm's way in an emergency and also don't trust it to pull onto a street in front of any other vehicle no matter how far away the other vehicle is down the road. It's just not safe to do so! vw should be forced to address this problem and provide a fix for this common issue and complaint that can be read about on various vw forums all over the internet. No injuries yet from this issue with my vehicle because I know better than to try to pull out into oncoming traffic. This problem occurred on Friday, August 5, 2011.

car image   #11 - Automatic Transmission problem of the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta

My car has had all transmission service completed at the dealership. My incident began at a red light. When I went to hit the gas, my car did not move. The engine revved but nothing. I turned the car off. Once I started it again, I was able to get to my destination. When I went to leave, it did it again at a stop sign. I was again able to turn off my car and restart. It moved approximately 20 ft into intersection, then nothing. I turned if off two more times and finally made it through intersection (approximately 40 ft through). While in drive (going approx. 20 mph), the car shifted into neutral, all lights on instrument panel were blinking, just as before. I sat for a few minutes, then I tried to drive home again in the manual gear shifting mode. I made it approximately 1/2 mile when it shifted into neutral again (going approx. 40 mph) and lights blinking. I had to call a tow truck to take me to the dealership. Heaven forbid I had been going faster and this happened or someone had hit me in the intersection as I tried to turn across traffic. I understand there is a recall for 2007-2009 transmissions and extended warranty. I suggest expanding this to include all models with dsg transmissions since they obviously have dangerous reliability problems. It was Wed., Jun. 29, 2011 when this automatic transmission issue happened.

The vehicle is a 2005 Volkswagen new Jetta. I have a 2005 new Jetta and at around 60,000 miles it shifts hard from 1st to 2nd gear and 2nd to 3rd gear. It also downshifts abruptly. The hard jerking scares me when driving because it can cause an accident. At some point vw has to realize this is a serious safety hazard. I got the recall letter about the valve body and when I took it to a vw dealer for service I was told that my car didn't have a valve body issue. They said I needed a new transmission. Cost $6,000.

However, I did make an effort to keep the vehicle's speed at or below 70 mph. Based on similar reported incidents I researched on the web, I can positively confirm that my vehicle switched into neutral when I received the warning light. On Monday, sept. 14, 2009, I brought the vehicle to the service department of the vw dealership where I had purchased it and was informed that the problem would be looked into. This issue happened on Sunday, Sep. 13, 2009.

The vehicle was towed to the nearest vw dealership and is currently undergoing diagnosis. As far as the initial incident on 9/13/2009, vw reported they could not find any problems with the vehicle, that no fault/error codes were found.

I have a 2010 us version Volkswagen Jetta tdi with the dsg transmission. The car has around 4500 miles on the odometer and this problem has been with the car since day #1. The problem is manifested as a lurching, and erratic shifting of the transmission in gears 1 to 2 as well as from a stop. Even though I drive with a soft touch, I can rarely get a smooth start-off because of the unpredictable shifting of the transmission.

Current mileage on vehicle is less than 1300 miles. Car has a automatic - dsg transmission. In mid may of 2010 I began having severe problems with the transmission locking into 3, 4 gears while in drive especially when entering traffic from a start. . This creates a severe power reduction from a start and can be life threating, and cause involvement in broad side accident while entering the flow of traffic. Transmission also jolts and bolts when driving, and when placing in reverse or drive from a start. The car has shifted in neutral once while driving. I have had at least 15 occurrences since may 12th. When the situation happens I have to pull off the road and stop and wait for a safe condition to pull out in third (locked) gear. I cannot duplicate the problem at will it just occurs without warning. Sometimes the problem seems to reset to normal if you turn off the ignition and wait 5-10 min before restarting. Vw/Audi have had numerous reports of problems with this dsg transmission. Had a problem with my 2008 gti and the metronics which vw sent out a safety bulleting and replaced the unit last July. This problem is far worse than rough shifting it's life threating. Had a real scary incident yesterday, locked into third and then jumped into neutral, had to coast to burm. Car is currently today in the dealership as I will not drive it until the problem is corrected. They will investigate the problem and check for error codes etc. I do not have a problem with the dealership have been a customer since 2000 and have owned 6 vw's since. The problem is with the dsg transmissions in vw's they are not safe. I have also advised vw at their customer care site and who knows what they are doing???? incident date is the start of the problem I would appreciate your assistance with this matter. Thank you.

car image   #25 - Automatic Transmission problem of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta

The car is a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. My car is a 2010 vw Jetta tdi with dsg transmission. I took delivery of the car in January of 2010. During July of last year with 3000 miles on the car, I drove the car out of a parking lot on a 95 f degree afternoon. By the time I reached the exit ramp the transmission, which was in drive mode, had shifted into second gear. My intention was to cross over the near lane of traffic into the far lane going in the opposite direction. When a safe interval appeared I stepped on the throttle but the car moved ahead very slowly (into the lane of fast moving cars) pressing the throttle further had no effect. I took my foot off the throttle and pressed down again and the car responded normally. It seemed at the time that the transmission had not shifted down into first gear when I had stopped at the driveway exit. The slow speed lasted for about ten seconds and the engine did not lug. The dealer said all dsg problems had been addressed and Jettas in my VIN number series did not register any new transmission problems on the vw service web site. I am concerned because of the potential for a disastrous accident when my wife or I try to enter high speed traffic should this problem re-occur. I had called your phone line after the event and was given "call reference number 281881, confirmation number 10346067". And told that I would receive a report form by regular mail but I never have so I thought I should complete the online form.

car image   #29 - Automatic Transmission problem of the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta

The car is a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta. While driving in the fast lane at approximately 75 mph the vehicle began to act as if it were in neutral failing to deliver any power to the wheels. I struggled to get over to the shoulder and was nearly in two accidents and I think I scrubbed one of my rims on the curb, but didn't notice at the time since I was freaked out. I then had to stop and restart the car to get it to drive again. This was the sixth time in about a week that we had the car act as if it were in neutral while driving along. This was the first time that power was not regained shortly after losing power. The frustrating thing is that I had brought the car to the dealer earlier in the week complaining that a similar incident had occurred the previous week where I had lost power to the wheels but that I had regained it after 5-10 seconds. They said they could not do anything because they couldn't reproduce the problem when they test drove the car and that no "errors" showed up in the computer history for the vehicle. They basically said that since there were no bulletins put out by vw they couldn't do anything until the error occurred again. Thankfully I was carrying my video camera in the car and my girlfriend recorded much of the incident. I am emailing the dealer today and we'll see what they have to say now. This automatic transmission problem happened on July 4, 2009.
