Power Train Problems of Volkswagen Jetta Hybrid - part 2

The braking ability varies depending if the battery is being charged or not. The pressure applied to the brake pedal depends on the battery charge and not the pressure on the pedal.

During driving conditions the vehicle stalls then speeds up almost causing a crash into the car ahead of me. Sometimes when braking, the vehicle surges while my foot is on the brake. The vw dealer diagnosed it as corrosion of the control module within the gearbox. This was the exact problem the car was recalled for under vw recall number 34f6/4v in November 2013. The car was brought in in Dec. 2013 per the recall to change the gearbox oil but only had a 12 month warranty. Now, the corrosion caused the same problem that the recall tried to prevent. The recall did not correct the problem. The cost to fix is $8500! since it outside the warranty period, vw will not pay. This is a clear safety issue that vw needs to correct. The recall fix of changing the type of gearbox oil did not stop the corrosion which damaged the control module.

The hybrid system drive has failed, fuel door actuator part that was recommended is incorrect in their system. I think they have difficult issues with reading my VIN because my car actually has numerous recalls but aren't seen. Emission repairs have been done and not resolved. After those repairs by vw dealership under warranty, the hybrid system failed and now does not engage the electric motor.

I was driving on the highway and the car stopped moving. It was a transmission issue with the gear box. The same recall that the Volkswagen has but when I look up my VIN it doesn't come. However I had the same issue happen as the one described in the recall. I replaced the transmission but the car is still jerking around a lot. I want Volkswagen to take care of that.

Mechatonics unit keeps failing. Car either loses drive completely or shifting becomes very rough which creates a huge safety issue especially when entering traffic. The mechatronics unit failed on this car in February of 2016, without about 80,000 miles on the vehicle. The unit was replaced, but the replacement unit failed in October of 2017 with about 120,000 miles. There was a safety recall of 2013 Jetta Hybrids, but this particular VIN doesn't seem to be covered by that recall, and yet it has the exact same symptoms as the recalled units.

Coming to home and was about to turn onto another street when car suddenly jerked and wouldn't go in drive. Had to stop put in park and wait for a few minutes and then it began to move. Dealership said it is transmission but the car isn't over 130,000 miles.

While driving the vehicle at varying speeds the transmission will just stop engaging causing me to have to come to a stop, put the vehicle into park and restart the ignition. I have taken the vehicle to 2 different vw dealerships and have been told that the gearbox has gone bad and my whole transmission needs to be replaced which would cost roughly $6100. This all happened just outside the 70k mile warranty. I have attempted to contact vw numerous times but have encountered 2+ hour waiting times just to talk to someone. Online research has show that this happens to almost all of the 2013 Jetta Hybrids but no additional recall has been made to fix this issue.
