2006 Volkswagen Jetta

CLUTCH BROKE IN THE CAR IT IS A KNOW DEFECT WITH THE TYPE CLUTCH'S THIS CAR WAS BUILT WITH VOLKSWAGEN IS AWARE OF THE DEFECTS AND ISSUED A TSB IN 2007 1 YEAR AFTER MY CAR WAS BUILT BUT THE SOLD THE CAR AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VW WITH THE KNOWN DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE PARTS NOW BROKE AND VW IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THERE ARE THOUSAND OF VW JETTAS AFFECTED BY THESE BAD PARTS. *TT

MY CARS TRANSMISSION DID NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR INPUT- THE CAR SEEMED TO BE STUCK IN NEUTRAL BUT THE INDICATOR WAS IN THE DRIVE POSITION - THIS HAPPENED WHILE AT SPEED AND I HAD TO MANEUVER OUT OF TRAFFIC TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD - I WAS ALMOST HIT AS I COULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE CAR NEEDED TO BE TOWED AWAY FOR REPAIR. *TR

THE DUAL MASS FLYWHEEL HAS FAILED ON MY CAR. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED AT HIGH SPEED IT COULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE TO SEIZE THUS LOCKING THE FRONT WHEELS AND CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL/SERIOUS VEHICLE DAMAGE. THERE IS WIDESPREAD INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET DOCUMENTING THE FAILURES, SOME OF WHICH HAVE DESTROYED THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE IN THE PROCESS. VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL . I AM FORCED TO REPLACE THIS PART MYSELF SINCE VW WILL NOT COVER THIS PART DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY NOW HAVE AN UPGRADED REPLACEMENT PART AS THEY KNOW THE ORIGINAL IS DEFECTIVE. CST TO REPAIR AT DEALERSHIP $2000. *TR

I HAVE A 2006.5 JETTA TDI WITH A DSG TRANSMISSION AND 130,000 MILES. MY CAR HAS HAD ALL TRANSMISSION SERVICE COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHIP. MY INCIDENT BEGAN AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I WENT TO HIT THE GAS, MY CAR DID NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE REVVED BUT NOTHING. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. ONCE I STARTED IT AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY DESTINATION. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE, IT DID IT AGAIN AT A STOP SIGN. I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO TURN OFF MY CAR AND RESTART. IT MOVED APPROXIMATELY 20 FT INTO INTERSECTION, THEN NOTHING. I TURNED IF OFF TWO MORE TIMES AND FINALLY MADE IT THROUGH INTERSECTION (APPROXIMATELY 40 FT THROUGH). WHILE IN DRIVE (GOING APPROX. 20 MPH), THE CAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL, ALL LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE BLINKING, JUST AS BEFORE. I SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME AGAIN IN THE MANUAL GEAR SHIFTING MODE. I MADE IT APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE WHEN IT SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN (GOING APPROX. 40 MPH) AND LIGHTS BLINKING. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE ME TO THE DEALERSHIP. HEAVEN FORBID I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER AND THIS HAPPENED OR SOMEONE HAD HIT ME IN THE INTERSECTION AS I TRIED TO TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2007-2009 TRANSMISSIONS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY. I SUGGEST EXPANDING THIS TO INCLUDE ALL MODELS WITH DSG TRANSMISSIONS SINCE THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE DANGEROUS RELIABILITY PROBLEMS. *TR
