Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 2013 Volkswagen Jetta

Car will not shift into gear transmission is cracked and vw will not do anything.

While driving at 40 mph and attempting to make a left turn, the vehicle lost power with the check engine warning light illuminated. I placed the vehicle in park for 30 seconds and attempted to restart the vehicle, it turned on but would not go into gear. I then had it towed to the dealer (mission bay Volkswagen � (address 2205 morena blvd, san diego, CA 92110) to be diagnosed. I was informed that there was a crack in the transmission which caused oil to leak into the electrical gearbox causing it to fail. I'm the second owner and it has 47,000 original miles on it.

Engine light came on, right after car would not go into gear and car became inoperable.

While driving with a total of 26,415 miles, the manual transmission suddenly failed. Specifically, after stopping in front of my son's school on a city street to put car into reverse to parallel park, the stick shift would not go into gear. I was stuck in the roadway and had to solicit two men to push my car to the side of the road to await towing to the dealership under the 3 year warranty. Come to find out vw does not warranty the clutch except for the slave cylinder, and thus considers all other mechanical failure to be user wear and tear. I have noted many Jetta owners on the internet complaining of the same problem with as few as 2930 miles driven. In 30 years of driving a manual transmission, the past 13 in vws, I have never had any clutch problems, issues, work or replacements. I am still waiting for them to officially "diagnose" the problem after agreeing to pay $500 to take out and examine the transmission, and bear that cost and all other parts/labor if they determine the cause is anything besides the slave cylinder. Yet my problem is not with the clutch but engaging the stick into gear and thus unlikely to be diagnosed as the slave cylinder. Clearly there is a history of shoddy or cheap clutch parts for which vw fails to take responsibility and instead shifts costs onto its customers claiming user wear and tear. After failing prey to the faulty sunroof problem in a prior 2003 gli and paying to fix it myself after eight years of dealer bandaids and missing the class action lawsuit, you would think I would have learned and bought something else.

When starting to accelerate, my Jetta will randomly shift with a very hard jerk. Took it to the local vw dealer here in germany but they could not duplicate it (my car is us spec, but we are stationed abroad). The service manager sent a message to the engineers for possible solution but it took another 6 weeks to get advice which was to do a reset on the computer. That did not work as now when it happens, it sometimes acts as though it is not in gear, rpm's rev, but car barely moves, making it unsafe on the roadway. When I pull over, turn off the engine, and then restart it, it is usually fine again for a little bit. But because it is a random occurrence and they cannot replicate it, the technicians do not see it as a problem.
