2007 Volkswagen Jetta

TIPTRONIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE TO DEFECTIVE VALVE BODY THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT DENIED BY VW. TOOK CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD THAT I PURCHASED, ONE TIME FOR SHIFTING ISSUES AT LOW SPEEDS. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED BUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ISSUED BY VW WAS GOOD FOR 7 YEARS OR 100,000. AT APPROXIMATELY 99,500 PROBLEM HAD BEEN GETTING WORSE SO I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT STILL WAS NOT THROWING AN ERROR CODE BUT IN THE MASTER TECHNICIAN'S OPINION, THE TRANSMISSION HAD A PROBLEM BUT IT WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE VALVE BODY, THE COVERED PART. ALSO, THIS IS A NON-SERVICEABLE TRANSMISSION MEANING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED RATHER THAN REBUILDING. TOOK TO AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A DEFECTIVE VALVE BODY (THE PART COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY). IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PART, A REBUILD KIT AND TORQUE CONVERTER WERE REPLACED AS PART OF THIS PROCESS. SUBMITTED THE INVOICES TO VW. RECEIVED LETTER THAT PAYMENT FOR REPAIRS WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE INVOICES THAT I SUBMITTED STATED THAT "THE REPAIR PERFORMED WERE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER". NOT TRUE. CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE. DETAILED EVERYTHING I DID HERE. AFTER SOME CHECKING, THE REPRESENTATIVE "REGRETTED" TO INFORM ME THAT THEY COULD NOT HELP IN COVERING THE COSTS OF THE REPAIR. TO SAY THAT I AM FRUSTRATED BEYOND BELIEF IS PUTTING IT MILDLY. *TR

2007 WOLFSBURG EDITION JETTA: EXPERIENCING ISSUES LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES/ FIRST WITH ONE DOOR LOCK (REAR LEFT) AROUND SEP 2011. THEN 2ND DOOR (REAR ) WARRANTY ALREADY PASSED, THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE LOCKS CAN GO BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, COSTING $250/$200 EACH PLUS LABOR $100 HR./3 HRS OR $300!! FOR GRAND TTL ALMOST $800! REPLACEMENT. NOW I ALREADY HAVING PROBLEM WITH DRIVER DOOR!! THIS SEEMS EXCESSIVE SPECIALLY VW SHOULD ADDRESS THIS QUALITY ISSUE WITH THEIR SUPPLIER NOW AND HAVE THEM FIXED AT NO COST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DRIVE FOR WORK AROUND SOME NOT NICE NEIGHBORHOODS, CAR CAN'T BE LOCK. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND AFRAID DOOR CAN OPEN SO EASILY. I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE BEFORE WE HEAR REALLY BAD NEWS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AS THE LOCKS SERVE AS THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE IN ANTI-THEFT. I SEARCHING ONLINE AND SEE OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES, I DECIDED TO REPORT, I STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH LOCK. HOPE PEOPLE READS AND REPORT THE ISSUE. I HAVE BOUGHT 2 OTHER VW IS PAST AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T THINK WILL BUY A FOURTH VW. *TR

DEALER AGAIN RECOMMENDS REPLACING ENTIRE POWER LOCK SYSTEM. WHAT???? NO RECALL HAS BE IMPLEMENTED OR SET.... *TR

WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY DURING RUSH HOUR FROM FULL STOP AT ON RAMP DUE TO TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND AT AROUND 20 OR SO MPH THE CAR LOSS POWER AND THE RPM QUICKLY INCREASED AS IF YOU WERE PRESSING THE CLUTCH IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE, THIS IS A AUTOMATIC VEHICLE SO THE ISSUE WAS DEFINITELY CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE DRIVEN TRAIN OR ELECTRICAL SENSORS CONTROLLING THE DRIVE TRAIN. SINCE THAT TIME THIS FRIGHTENING ISSUE HAS BEEN INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED. A BASIC INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT MY CASE IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. *TR
