| Power Train problems |
I noticed my car has been cutting out and not having power when driving down a freeway. Ill put the pedal down it didnt move. I noticed my stereo started kind of flashing as well. I figured maybe it was electrical so I started looking around and I opened up my trunk and it was 4 inches of water where my spare tire is. Then I started looking around where my panoramic sunroof is and there's a huge spots of water that's wet. They did not disclose this to me when I purchase the car and I asked them if there was any problems of leaking. I think it's messing up my electrical system and my power. I felt very unsafe when I wasn't able to accelerate in the middle of traffic.
When moving from stop, transmission takes a second to engage. This is dangerous because when trying to take a turn from stop, hesitation could lead to serious accident. Engage 1st gear.
Vehicle stalled out while driver at highway speeds due to intercooler freezing, on second occasion vehicle was unable to start due to engine hydrolocking from frozen intercooler thawing out. Vw has released a bulletin for this issue but will not stand by warranty on said component.
Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. The contact stated that the dealer hansel Volkswagen( 2951 corby Ave, santa rosa, CA 95407, (707) 501-5977) provided a manufacturer solution of modifying the diesel system. The contact noticed that the transmission had been hesitant as if the vehicle may stall when needing to change gears as the gears had been slow to change over. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer more than twice who had been unable to replicate the failure and provide a diagnosis for repair. The manufacturer was notified that their solution impacted the transmission but they provided no remedy so the contact was uncertain if the vehicle may be repaired with no solution. The manufacturer was to provide a follow response and the contact was waiting for a response. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
