general problems of the 2007 Volkswagen Jetta

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. 00 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.

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.

I had issues with the fuel system and air bag light on just started. But dealer carmax did not tell about any recall for the fuel system few years ago. But I just seen that in your system. And car max changed me a lot of money for the fuel system being replace around Feb/2016. So can some please help me with this issues. And wanted to will carmax be able get reimburse for them thanks.

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.

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. 00 fix.

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 volkswagon 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. .

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.
