Two problems related to power train have been reported for the 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Car jerks when up shifting and down shifting I was told by the dealer that the transmission needed a part that had to be order from germany. They called the mechatron they told me it was the computer brain for the transmission I waited two weeks and after having the car for a few days it is doing the same thing I'm taking it back tomorrow. Sometimes it feels like the car doesn't want to come off a high gear i¿m afraid that I wont be able to stop the car . I wish I could get my money back.
While entering freeway have to depress accelerator peddle 1/4 to 3/4 of the way down before acceleration begins. From stop and merging into traffic have to depress accelerator 1/4 to 3/4 of the way down before acceleration. Entering freeway or fast starts, accelerates then dies off then goes again. On hill starts it sometimes rolls back as if it is in neutral. These are intermittent problems at varying degrees of severity .
