1 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2020

April 13th,2020 I took my car in to the local vw dealership to have it looked at. Road testing produced nothing, but p1732 and p173d codes were found. The service department called the vw tech line and vw indicated that a new transmission was the only option. My cost would be $9236. 14. Afterwards, I stopped at the local independent german auto repair shop to have my paperwork looked at. This shop indicated that this was a new transmission design, intended for the hybrid, and that it was full of bugs. I was informed that vw knew about the issue and created a software bandage to fix it. The fix was not a permanent solution, rather to prolong the life of the car instead of vw fixing the issue under warranty. This shop also indicated that normal service done to cars would show a potential problem, but vw indicated to clear the code and not tell customers. Transmission I am not sure the exact date that the transmission issues began, but I do know that it was after March 27th, 2020. I know this because I worked all day for news America marketing and there were no issues with the car. On the day that the issue began, I had been using e-mode frequently and I noticed that the car was running hotter than normal. I stopped using e- mode. Currently the car is drivable. The check engine light does not come on regularly. When there is a problem, only odd gears are available. Gears 2,4,6, and reverse are not available. When the check engine light comes on, the car will immediately downshift to an odd gear. For example, 4th gear to 3rd. This results in the car slowing down quickly due to the high rpm. If the car is in 2nd, shifting to 1st causes the car to come to a stop over a short distance.

2 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2020

While driving on the highway, my car began to stop accelerating by itself. Once the rpm exceeded three, the epc light came on. Further on down the road, the check engine light came on, so I had the codes read and was told to replace the camshaft position sensor. The following day I had this part replaced and proceeded to drive on the highway again. The lights came on once again and an additional light came on as well. This time the car slowed down so much that I was almost hit trying to get to the shoulder of the highway.

3 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/29/2019

Engine seized with no prior warning. The oil light or temperature light did not come on prior to car stalling with a seized engine. We were driving on the highway at highway speed when all of a sudden the car would not accelerate and an epc light came on, not a check engine light. When we pulled over the car stalled with all the warning lights on. The dealership told me the next day that the engine had seized. I have changed the oil every 10000 miles with synthetic oil. There is no reason this should have happened.

4 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2019

My vehicle; for months now, has either not started up right away or shut off while driving through city streets and a major freeway. While driving the car loses power but the battery has power. Power steering becomes lost and I have to push the vehicle off the road or freeway. The vehicle has a rough idol when this occurs and becomes unsafe to handle and carefully remove from a busy road. I have taken it in to vw service multiple times and thet cannot fix it. No code comes up on their diagnostic computer and no check engine dash lights illuminate. This issue seems as though it is impossible to fix by the dealership who sold it to me, and self diagnosing is out of my league.
