"my 2025 Volkswagen Jetta is subject to safety recall 26v185 (90z5). The vehicle's instrument cluster fails to display speed, rpm, and safety warnings upon startup, creating a severe safety hazard. I visited heritage Volkswagen catonsville on 04/07/26, and they officially documented that the 'repair not yet available. ' Volkswagen customer care has refused to open a repurchase case or provide a safe solution. I am unable to use the vehicle safely and I am requesting an immediate intervention to address this safety issue. ".
The car has a manual transmission. In all other vehicles I have driven with cruise control, when the clutch is depressed, the cruise completely disengages, same as a brake. When cruise control is engaged and the clutch is depressed, the cruise temporarily disengages and re-engages when put into a lower gear or the same gear. Very scary since a majority of the time, the driver is anticipating a slow down. If left out of gear for a period of time, the cruise will fully disengage. I can only guess someone copied programming for the manual transmission car from an automatic transmission car. I have reproduced this behavior multiple times. Seems unlikely to do in standard cruise control. Vw of America contacted and seemed unconcerned. Has not been brought to the dealer.
