Automatic Transmission Control Module problems of the 2024 Volkswagen Jetta

Mil light came on in November 2025, obd-ii diagnostic trouble code p0613 - tcm processor fault. Volkswagen has had a nationwide backorder on the replacement (part no. 09h-927-158) for months. Last week, my car randomly went into park while attempting to pull into my garage. Red transmission fault indicator lit up on dash. "transmission faulty. Safely stop the vehicle!" car would not shift into gear. Disconnecting battery terminals for 30 minutes caused the fault to go away. Mil light still on. If I were on the highway this could have caused an accident. I have since been seeing similar reports on websites such as reddit for 2024 Jettas. Have been told vw has a TSB on this issue, but have yet to see it. This should probably be escalated to a recall/buyback.

My 2024 Volkswagen Jetta experienced a transmission control module (tcm) failure. The vehicle began having transmission problems and became essentially undriveable. It would not operate/shift normally and required repair. The Volkswagen dealer diagnosed the problem as a failed transmission control module and advised that the tcm needs to be replaced. The required tcm has now been on nationwide backorder for approximately five weeks, leaving the vehicle unable to be repaired and driven normally. I am concerned this is a safety issue because a failure of the transmission control module can cause a driver to lose the ability to properly shift or operate the vehicle. I am also concerned that the lengthy nationwide backorder may indicate that this component is failing in multiple vehicles. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA has a record of the tcm failure and can determine whether similar failures are occurring in other 2024 Volkswagen Jettas.

Transmission control module light comes on and the light states safely pull car over and put in park. It’s tried to been fixed multiple times, they are waiting on a software update. I’ll drive the car and have to pull over because the tcm light comes on and can’t drive/ accelerate. The dealership told me to drive the car and deal with it until it gets fixed. The issue first appeared in Nov of 2025 and it’s been a recurring issue since. I can’t take it anywhere without it happening, then I have to get towed.
