Transmission Noise Problems of Volkswagen Jetta - part 2

I purchased a used certified 2000 Volkswagen Jetta in January 2004, after only one week of purchasing the vehicle, the engine light came on, the accelerator was making a vibrating sound and stalling continuously. Okay, the transmission went out and it had to be replaced at my expense - I purchased a used transmission and then the engine throttle failed and the car wouldn't even start one day - had that replaced at my expense $1700. No the old parts are not available. Okay, there's more, the brakes have been replaced a total of four times within three years, the engine light is still on, air bag light on, brake light on, lights and fog interior fuses and exterior lights have been replaced I don't know how many times, I have put so much money into this vehicle - and it still is running badly. As of today, the car won't move without warming it up first for about 45 minutes fully - when you press on the accelerator without warming it up first - it will stall and make a loud embarrassing noise as if the engine is going to explode - and you have to literally make it move by pressing very hard on the accelerator and praying that it won't just shut off while driving and never start again. My vehicle has 117,000 miles on it had 43,500 when I bought it (I know stupid wasn't I) it was my first vehicle. I know a car is not suppose to last forever, but dam does it have to cost so much to try and keep it running until it dies. Please help me with any information you may have to assist me in this matter.

At 65 mph there was a brief lockup of the front wheels, stalling of the engine followed by a loud mechanical grinding noise. Stopped vehicle, popped hood, noted engine to shake violently to the extent that the oil dipstick came loose. Brought vehicle to dealership. Informed by service that failure is due to disintegration of the dual mass flywheel located between the engine and the automatic transmission. Debris from the flywheel lead to destruction of the transmission housing. Later, when talking to a mechanic, found out that this is the second Jetta with the dsg automatic transmission that had a dmf failure in addition to three catastrophic dmf failures on manual transmission Jettas). As this has the potential to lead to complete lockup of the front wheels at highway speeds with potentially dire consequences, I believe that this is a safety relevant issue that might warrant being addressed by NHTSA.

Several times during the course of my ownership of a 2002 Volkswagen Jettagls sedan the check engine light comes an and I take it to the dealership and they tell me it is a sensor, and fix the problem and the light goes off. Late may 2005 this occured again. I took the car to the dealership and was told it was fixed. I picked it up on 5/14/05. Two days later the light came on again. I was told the earliest appointment was June 13, 2005. So I waited. Approximately 1 week after 5/14/05 a very strange noise came from beneath the car, then reverse jerked, jumped and sputtered. In decelleration the car made a "jet-engine" noise. I stopped driving it and waited to take it to the dealership. After having my car for less than a day the service manager called me to say that my transmission was "falling apart" from the inside and it would cost me $3,500 to fix. Now the Jetta has 73,000 iles and has been driven only leisurely for work commuting purposes. We took it on one family trip from NJ ro mass. I beleive there is a defect in the transmission. I do not beleive that a 3 year old transmission with 73000 miles should just "fall-apart from the inside". I called and 800 vw customer line adn 48 hours later was told pretty much too bad sorry about that the 60,000 mile warranty is up. There is a bigger issue here. There must be a defect in the transmission.

The vehicle also made a knocking noise and would become sluggish when accelerating. The dealer recently stated that the failure was related to the valve body. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 10. The current mileage was 57396.
