Failure Date: 11/14/2014

In motion: the transmission is not properly shifting up. There is delay, therefore the car is 'jumping' before the higher level of gear automatically shift. This problem last for about 4 months in motion: the use of fuel is much higher than used to be, even all injectors are properly working. This problem is now about 5 months old. The rear door - its latch broke in November 2014. The door felt on my head. Contacting vw USA - I was told that the repair has to be done by vw dealer. . Vw dealer made me a quote of $ 3. 5 k which I rejected. Since that time I am carrying in car board of wood and using it for support of open door.
