1 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2025

I purchased a brand-new 2025 Volkswagen Jetta from lafontaine Volkswagen of dearborn, mi on October 2, 2025. Within 24 hours, the check-engine light illuminated, and the fuel gauge cluster froze, showing an incorrect fuel level. On October 3, 2025, I contacted the dealership and was told to bring it in for service. The service department confirmed a faulty transmission control module (tcm) and opened a repair order. Before the repair could be completed, the vehicle became inoperable and would not engage drive, leaving me stranded in my driveway. The car had less than 350 miles on it at the time of failure. This incident is extremely concerning for a brand-new vehicle and raises questions about potential safety and manufacturing defects in the 2025 Jetta model line. A new car’s transmission should not fail within days of delivery. I have filed related complaints with the michigan attorney general and better business bureau regarding the dealership’s handling of the issue and lack of transparency. Please investigate potential defects in the transmission control system and electrical fuel cluster of 2025 Volkswagen Jetta vehicles to prevent similar failures from occurring with other consumers.
